Last Week

-
Last week I drove the little people all over the western hemisphere (or 45 minutes one way) taking Caris to Vacation Bible School. Since we'll be on vacation during Pops and Gigi's VBS, I picked a church that she had visited once before and one that would have gospel teaching. She was excited all week- she woke up on her own between 6-6:30am, ate a quick breakfast, was dressed and asking "Is it time to go??" every single morning.  I'm glad she has this brave, adventurous spirit (that she clearly didn't get from me). While Caris was away, Liza got the chance to boss Audrey and me around- she picked the games and was first to choose which color/princess/etc she was.  She attended Gigi Camp one morning which included grocery shopping with a child size shopping cart, doing crafts and swimming. Not to be outdone, Audrey chose last week to debut two new tricks- pulling up on furniture and climbing stairs!

But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
