Do You REALLY Want to Know??

Brady came running in to our room this morning while Sean and I were still avoiding getting out of bed and facing the day. He crawled up on to our bed and on top of Sean. He looked at him quizzically and said,
"What do you guys DO in here??"

Santa is Very Demanding

We told Brady that Santa doesn't bring choo-choo trains to little boys who go pee pee in their pants.
-Over two weeks and he hasn't had a potty accident.
"Is Santa bringing me a choo-choo train now, mom?"

We told Brady that Santa doesn't bring choo-choo trains to little boys who hit their sisters and don't share their toys.
He looks very concerned.

In Between the Potty Breaks

We drove downtown to see the lights a couple of weeks ago. We got there and took a potty break, got some dinner, walked over to see the lights, and promptly ran back to the potty for another potty break.

At least we got a few snapshots in between. :)

Delegating or Micro Managing?

Brady: "Mom, will you please peel my orange? I will tell you how to do it."

I Didn't Sleep At All

Sadie: "I didn't sleep at all last night."
Me: "Why?"
Sadie: "I stayed up all night talking to a picture of Bethanie."

I Don't Make This Stuff Up

Brady has gone a week and a half without any potty accidents. I am ecstatic, and hope it sticks.
Today he happened to be sitting on the potty working extra hard to go. As soon as he finished up he yelled, "Mom! My work in here is done!"

Is It the Full Moon Kind?

Children are weird. It's not just my kids. I have seen many kids brave the cold without a coat. My kids think it's some kind of punishment when I insist they wear coats in 25 degree weather.
The other night our family was venturing out in to the cold, snowy, 27 degree night, and Sadie insisted that she was going to wear sandals. I did manage to get my way on that one.
We arrived at our destination and hopped out of the car. Sadie was once again without her coat. When I asked her where her coat was, she replied, "Mom! I am a wolf! I don't get cold!"
