I am getting worried that my kids don’t need me, even the little ones. A quality that I love about my children is that they are “do it yourselfer’s” if they want or need something they don’t hang around for help.
I’d say 90% of the time they are very good about asking permission, but once I have uttered a child’s magic word, “Yes” they are gone. There is no chancing that I might realize what they have asked and change my mind.
For example, Storie asked me yesterday if she could have some peanut butter. I said “yes” thinking as soon as I am done checking my email I will get her some. Apparently that was not in her time frame. Ten minutes later this is what I found…
Rush apparently wanted some peanut better also. I thought it was nice Storie shared with him don’t you?
I was thinking Storie wanted a sandwich or apples slices with peanut butter, but now I know when she asks for peanut butter, I can just hand her a spoon and the jar!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
these are two of the cutest kids I have ever seen. Sorry for your couch though. 🙂
I believe you have the most self sufficient 3 yr old on the planet! She needs a blog to herself just to impart her wisdom to others. Dare I say…Yoda!
"Can I play with toothpics" really means, "I'm going to push them through the window screen and make the holes bigger."
Do love your photo journaling of the moment. Great mommying.
That's really funny (sorry)! btw, I loved your teacher gift idea – I would have loved getting something like that when I was teaching!
Those pictures are totally cute…messy, but cute! It is amazing what 2 little kids can do together:)
I adore these two… and I am playing "Taps" for your couch.
At our house, I've come to realize that, "Come look Mama! I'm done!" is kids-speak for, "I somehow got a hold of a black Sharpie and transformed the brick surrounding the fireplace."
LOL-she reminds me so much of my little girl, even in looks! What a cute post!
If I do not HIDE the peanut butter really really well, my two and a half year old will do the same thing.
