Mommy: Evy, are you done with the laundry? Evy: Yes! Wait, are you going to post pictures of this on Facebook? Please don't, I'll be so embarrassed! Mommy: Why? You seem so proud of the work you did... Evy: I'm embarrassed that you're posting a picture of me with only one earring in! Mommy: You're not embarrassed about the pictures of the laundry you "did" (didn't) do? You should be, child.
Mommy: (throws away seemingly insignificant necklace of thread with clear, flat bead).
Seren: Mommy! That's one of my favorite necklaces; don't throw it away!
Mommy: Don't worry, I'm keeping all of your very special necklaces, but I'm getting rid of the ones that really aren't that special.
Seren: (pleads) Mommy, that IS a special necklace...it helps me to see the lines on my own skin! (Like a magnifying glass)
Mommy: Ok, we'll get it from the garbage can...
How could I argue with that???
I love the age Xander is at. I always say that babies are like new cars and should be traded in every two years. In my opinion, Xander has less than 4 months left on his "warranty". He did something really cute tonight. He was taking a bath and attempted to escape. He wound up straddling the edge of the tub, butt naked. His Baby bottom was so cute, I had to smack it a little. He began to pretend it was his rocking horse, so I told him "Giddy-up!" While smacking his little bottom. When I stopped, he smacked his own little bottom and said, "Giddy-up!"
It's moments like these that remind me why I had so many children to begin with and why I would love to have more just like him. The problem is, I would probably wind up having more "Serens". I love that child, but I only want one of her. :)
Classifying Leaves...one leaf in the assignment resembles one of the leaves in the other pictures. I'll let you decide which leaf the assignment resembles.
A Serenism I overheard today:
Seren says to Penny as they are getting dressed in the bathroom: "I'm sorry about farting so much, Penny." The apology must have been inspired by the angelic white dress she was putting on for the meeting today
We went to a BBQ place this evening and they had a wall filled with funny signs. In amongst them was this one. Penny said: "Mommy, that sign says, 'NO BOYS'! That means Daddy and Xander!"
