So thankful for another fab-filled week (even if I am by now
running waaaay behind!)!
1)
The girls and I were grocery shopping, and I
banged my elbow on a shelf.
“D’oh!!! Mommy hurt her
elbow!” My sweet Baby A made a beeline around
the cart to come kiss my boo-boo.
2)
I have a terrible habit of not fully shutting
the pantry door. My Baby B – multiple
times a day – comes by and, without fail, asks, “Mommy, may I close your
pantry, please?” Why yes, you may!
3)
The girls found an acorn cap and asked me what
it was. “It’s the top to an acorn,” I
explained. They immediately decided they
must find the bottom to the acorns.
HA! Thank goodness they weren’t
too disappointed not to find any right there.
4)
My Baby B seems to have mastered the art of
blowing bubbles!!! It helped that I
bought some “super bubble” solution, I think, but she was so proud of herself…and
so was I!
5)
My Baby A and I had a really great session
playing with our “Velcro mitts”, as we call them. She wanted to catch the ball 10 times before
we went inside, and she managed that, plus some. And I’m thankful to report she’s finally
throwing up and out much better…many fewer dives required from Mommy!
6)
One afternoon the girls were
coloring. Baby A asked B if she could borrow her red crayon. B said,
"Yes, you may have it, as long as you behave." I think that sounds fair!
7)
The girls were
such awesome helpers one morning! We
decided it was “Cooking Show Day”, and they played large roles in making
granola (measuring out the ingredients); guacamole (mashing the avocados); tuna
salad (cutting eggs with a butter knife and mixing); and stuffed eggs (peeling
8 eggs between them!). I was so
impressed how they stuck with me for two solid hours…helping when I could let
them, and watching across the island when I was dicing veggies.
8)
The girls were
coloring while I was making lunch. B
came to me with marker all over her hands. "Look, Mommy! I'm a
chameleon!" At least it was a cute and creative excuse for the mess she'd made!
9)
I asked B why she
always draws me the shortest of the four of us.
"Don't worry, Mommy...it's just the way God made you."
10)
I overheard the
girls one morning, from the living room (where I could not see them): "Lift my leg and see how high it will
go." I got my hands dried and in
there pretty quickly…I knew that could turn south in an instant. HA!
11)
One day Baby A said, in
response to something I’d asked her to do, "...I'm just a tiny, four-year
old baby." Yes, you’ll always be my
tiny baby...and that’s a really great try…but that’s not an acceptable
excuse. HA!
12)
And B summed up
the start of her day one morning by saying, “It's good to get up in the morning
and color." Literally and figuratively…amen
to that!

You have little culinary artists on your hands. That's neat. Oh - and I ALWAYS leave the pantry door cracked, too!! Turns out my littlest babe is ready and waiting and then she bee lines it for the paper products! You would think I would learn ;-)
That's Connor - he canNOT stand open drawers or doors and will walk around shutting them (without asking) even when we're busy dressing :)
