Are We There Yet Phase

The Are We There Yet Phase

H, you have hit the “are we there yet phase of childhood.”

It is kind of hilarious.

While we were in the car talking about cows on the way to Ruidoso – you hit it full stride.

The last 30 minutes of the ride you asked:

“Mom, are we there yet?”

No less than ten times.

We smiled everytime you asked and silently kept count so I could write it down later.

I love your youthful anticipation.

I mean, just wait till we tell you about our coming Disney World trip.

You won’t know what to do with yourself.

I love you.

Your Breath Smells Like A Fart

Your Breath Smells Like A Fart

H, your breath smells like fresh roses in the springtime.

Mine, on the other hand, apparently does not.

See, we were getting ready for bed last night and I turned and said something to you.

You contorted your face in disgust and without hesitation said:

“Aghh. Your breath smells like fart.”

Now I know that a four-year-old does not need to be running around saying “fart” all the time – when “toot” will do just as good in nearly every situation.

But it was hard to keep a straight face – so hard that we didn’t.

Everyone had a good laugh.

I love you.

All Kids Are Under Five

Last Friday All Kids Are Under Five

Welp, tonight is the last Friday night that all my kids are under five years of age.

H, your birthday is not till this next Thursday, but we are having a birthday party tomorrow at the Holly Hop Ice Cream Shop.

And you know how I like my Friday nights.

We ate pizza on the floor tonight in front of the TV.

It was a hit.

K, you even pushed mom away and asked that I lay you down tonight. We sang songs and then giggled at each other.

And then I leaned all the way down into your crib and gave you a goodnight kiss.

H, we tucked you in and sang three stanzas of Amazing Grace off-key before we kissed you goodnight.

Everything is so beautiful.

And I am so thankful for every sweet day we get.

I love you.
