So, the other day, I was putting Angela down for a nap. I always sing her two songs before putting her down for bed or a nap. As I starting singing, she started singing back to me, in the sweetest little voice "No, no, nooooo. . . " I don't know if she was referring to my singing, or going to bed, but either way, it made me laugh (and I like to think it was just to the nap).
Today, Angela kept begging and begging me for a cookie. "Cookie, please! Cookie, please" Well, I gave in, and as I pulled the bowl down so she could get one, she smiled ever so sweetly, pulled one out, and handed it straight to me while saying "Here, Mom." Well, I say, if she thinks I need to eat more cookies, well, by golly, I should eat more cookies.
Also today, I was telling my 8 yr old to clean up her room before dinner. She gave a look of fear, and I said "Is that a problem?" To which she responded "Well, I DO get distracted very easily!" (as if that's MY fault. LOL. Oh goodness. . .) She also thought it would help NOT distract her if I didn't let her brothers play video games (keep in mind, they are in another part of the house from her room) ha ha.
I was reminded today as I went to pick up Timmy from school, that if I ever need to pick him out of a lineup, I just need to look for the bounciest child. I saw his class walking by (from a distance), and sure enough, I was immediately drawn to the bounciest child, and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, was MY Timmy! ;-)
Last week, we were discussing travel plans with Grandpa Curtis, when he comes out for a visit. I mentioned that Grandpa had never been to Europe. Isaac acts all surprised and said "HOW is that even possible if he fought in WWII?" I just started laughing. And then gave a brief history lesson while mentioning Grandpa was born almost a decade AFTER the war ;-)
Have I mentioned lately how much I completely adore my children?!
