M and my lightbulb about parenting....

M just walked in and said is it the last day mommy.. I said yes... He said well, I want to go every day to bible camp cause I like it... OK child of mine that doesn't always want to get up and go to camp on Tuesday and Thursdays... now you decide this...

Here is my new revelation...You can only can control yourself and your kids take your lead. You can only change how they react by how you react! Now this doesn't always ring true with children under the age of 3. But seriously.. it is all about your reaction and how you handle yourself....

M and I were playing prisoner.. Yes, I came up with it.. I chase you around the house and sweep you up and take you into my room where my bed is a lake full of alligators...you are tickle tortured by alligators...Well, this morning, a stuffed dog was on the bed so hyenas were tickling the prisoners. M is screaming hyweena, the hyweena is getting me... I love their emerging language and some days I wish they'd always talk like that! Some days I tell Chad not to correct them. It will work itself out soon enough! Let me have a giggle until then!

B's awake now!!! time to get ready for camp! oh and our last day of swimming with Mimi!! What will we do next week without any planned activities... I'm sure we'll find some mischief!
