Summertime and the weather is….
rainy?
No. But I did come home from the thrift store with some umbrellas, which led to hours of daytime fun in the sun.
The littlest man. The biggest umbrella.
It always amazes me what will amuse kids for hours.

At 8:59 AM, after dropping off the girls at camp, D (age 4) said, "It's almost bedtime now!"
____________________________________________
D (age 4) never asks for what he wants, instead he mentions how much he likes something, or enjoys it, or did it before...
D: I really like those chips.
Mom: You do?
D: Yep. They are my favorite. (as he stares and smiles)
Mom: D, do you want some chips?
D: Oh yeah! I love you mom. You're my favorite.
Another time....
D: Daddy let me play on the computer yesterday.
Mom: He did?
D: Yeah. (silence as he stares)
Mom: Did you want to play on it today?
D: OK!

Your Turn:
I want THOSE sunglasses mommy.
The pink ones, D?
Yes! I want the ones with the [Hello Kitty] cat!
How about these? (holds up Transformers)
NO! I want the cat!
What about Lightning McQueen? Hot Wheels? These cool blue ones?
NO! NO! NO!
Why don’t we go look at the next store and if you don’t find something else we can come back and get these?
Mommy, I want these. (the sobbing has started)
Ok sweetie. It’s fine. I said you can get whatever you want, so you can have those. We’ll go get them….
There are battles that aren’t worth fighting. There are battles that aren’t worth fighting. There are battles that aren’t worth fighting.
Yes, I did have to keep repeating that to myself…
So that’s my boy this summer!
He loves his new sunglasses and I love my future blackmail photos…

T (age 6) had some popcorn kernels inside an inflated balloon. She wanted to see the balloon explode and see how far the kernels would fly. Eric was trying to pop the balloon with a sharp stick when T said,
"Your idea isn't working. I was right. We should have used a chainsaw."
____________________________________________
T asked for chocolate milk and daddy forgot to get it for her...
T: You always forget everything, Dad.
Dad: I am sorry T.
T: That's why God made Mommy. She doesn't forget.

C (almost 2) calls the movie, "Cars"....Carseats.
____________________________________________
Mom: We should get the movie, "Wizard of Oz." You guys would probably enjoy it now.
K (age 8): We saw the play.
Mom: I know. You know the plot. And you probably don't remember a whole lot, but we read the book together over a year ago.
K: I remember.
Mom: The book is WAY different from the movie. I had never read the book. Boy is it different. It has a lot of characters that aren't in the movie.
K: Yeah. And does Alice fall down the rabbit hole in the book? Uh...no.
Mom: (laughing) Wrong book, sweetie. That's not the Wizard of Oz.
K: Oh yeah.

K (age 8) was playing school with her sister, T (age 6). She was teaching T how to be a teacher.
T's homework:"Write two sentances about how to be a teacher"
(*no, I didn't correct the spelling)
The answer according to T:
"Be patient with others. Never teach until you know what you are teaching."
Great advice! I'll keep it in mind!

T (age 6): Daddy, I have a plan. And you're not in it.
