After his third and final birthday celebration of the year today, Richie needed to know:
Richie: "Mom, am I still four?"
Me: "Yes."
Richie: "BUT WHEN AM I GONNA TURN FIVE???"
Me: "Next January."
Richie: "Oh for pete's sake!"
Yes, he actually said that last part.
Last night we had our good friends the Clarks over to watch the Super Bowl. Avery and Meghann spent the entire evening in Avery's room playing. At some point it became evident to them that they were having a bit of a hard time agreeing on what form of play would be most fun. So, they did what any enterprising, self-respecting, intelligent, Type A girls would do.
They negotiated.
The result was the following "to do list" of fun things to accomplish during the evening. After each fun thing was accomplished, they checked it off the list and moved to the next one.
I typed the list here verbatim for your enjoyment.
those are old
9. fathin showe
10. poot on exchrols
For those of you who might find yourselves little-girl-illiterate, I will attempt to translate.
Those are old (like, we've already done 1 through 8 and that was SOOOO 8 o'clock).
9. Fashion show
10. Put on…..? (This one sill baffles me. Maybe Heather has an idea?)
