1. 12.5 yo B: She’s the mini
me I always dreamed of but with a healthy dose of her father (a person I really
love a lot) mixed in. She's also a tremendous help to me.
2. 11 yo G: his cartooning prowess and maturing wit. The way he really loves babies and toddlers.
3. 7 yo E: So much
generosity in one little body. Also, the world’s best smile (which is currently
missing two top teeth, making it that much cuter).
4. 5 yo Z: His new habit of
making a bold and random statement like “Ticks don’t go on your teeth”
immediately followed by the same statement in question form: “Does ticks go on
your teeth???”
5. 3 yo A:
Language explosion! I love to hear her sweet little voice speak to me with
sentences of growing length, reasoning and complexity.
What they like about me:
1. B:"I love your enthusiasm when doing arts/crafts/cooking with me."
2. G: "You're a good cook"
3. E: "Because you play lots of fun games with us"
4. Z: "Because you make hot chocolate after we get out of the snow time"
5. A: "She play around at da beach wif me"
Doesn't look like you have any reason to ever be in a "parenting slump" :) What great compliments you have for each other!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just saw that it is easy to follow your site - simply click "Join this site" on the right hand column and I am sure followers will get e-mail notifications of your posts. In fact, I will test it right now.
I was a little worried about what the kids might say since I was dedicated to putting it out in the open like this (not sure if you saw that on Mother's Day Z wanted to enter a contest for me and so I asked him if I deserved a massage and he said 'no, you don't make me breakfast.' But I entered it anyway and won the massage! ha ha!) & thanks for checking on the email notification thing for me.
ReplyDeleteI recall the Mother's Day contest but don't quite remember the details. Did it involve submitting a piece of writing? If yes, may I see it? In any case, Congratulations, that's awesome!
DeleteI know you're not a facebooker, but I think you can still see the submission here:

Sorry to be a pain, but it wouldn't let me access it
DeleteD'oh, really? I thought it was set to public for everyone to see it?!
