I love my kids

And today I was telling them just how much I love them. I said, “how is it that out of all the mommies in the world, I am the only mommy lucky enough to have the best kids in the world?” After a second Allison, sweet Allison, who will undoubtedly receive the bulk of my estate upon my passing, responded with, “I know how you are the luckiest. You have the best kids in the world because you are the very best mom in the world and you created us! You take care of us and teach us and that is why we are the best kids.”

Yes, yes, I know that this post is rather boastful in nature, and all of my loyal readers will feel very envious in knowing that I do have the best kids. I don’t mean to make you all feel bad about your less than best, but still very adequate children….but regardless of that fact, I still had to gloat.. a little. And this is my website. I can do that, you know?

another thing you never expect to hear

Meredith carrying a lock box and a duffle bag down the stairs, approaches Lydia, and in a business-like tone says, “Ok, this make-over is gonna hurt!”

another thing I keep forgetting

She doesn’t do this anymore, so before I forget that she ever did, I want to get it written down. She used to do it a lot. I hope I haven’t already posted this?? Does it sound familiar? I think I was thinking of posting it, but never did…so here goes.

Lydia (in an excited tone of voice) – I have an idea!!!
Me (or anyone, matching her excitment) – You do?? What is it??
Lydia – um, sixty-three!
Me – WOW, that’s a GREAT IDEA!

I keep forgetting to post this

I don’t want to forget this one, so even though this happened a month or two ago, I’m posting about it now.

To a toddler, being a “big girl” is a BIG deal. Lately she has been saying sweet things to me like, “you are the best mommy in the whole world!”…I know you see where I am going with this. Yes, she did in fact tell me that I was also “the biggest mommy in the whole world”

um, thanks?
