Do you find it strange that I don't even get mad when I find something my kids did? Infact, at times, I find myself thinking, "WOW! I'm impressed. I would have never thought to hide that there." OR " How did they do that? They are crafty little stinkers." I am truly amazed at some of the things they think of.
For example. I was getting the laundry out of my daughters room and for the thousandth time she moved her hamper. She likes to do that, makes it into a game for me. Isn't it nice that she thinks of her mother like that? :) Anywho, I found the location of the hamper in the closet. And as I turned around there where 2 perfectly formed circles on the wall made out of toothpaste. Now some of you would have sat there crying wondering where you went wrong with your child. Thinking, "Why didn't I teach them better? Now they are damaged for life, and will never make it into college, and will be shunned from all forms of life, living on a mountain and will become the next unibomber!" (Okay so maybe some of you might not be thinking that or really anything close to that. Sorry I ran with it.)
I looked at the circles, touched the cicles, and then I smelled the circles. Just to make sure it was toothpaste. Guess what, it was toothpaste. I looked at it a second time and realized something. She had two perfectly round circles. Impressive. I'm pretty sure my son Nick was with her when she did this. So then I thought,"What team work, she's helping Nick with his shapes! She's going to be a great Teacher someday!"
Kids to me have never stopped amazing me. Everyday I turn around and they just teach me something more about life. I love my kids with all my heart. It has taken me 7-8 years to figure this whole parenting thing out. Hopefully with Matt, our youngest, we will have it all figured out. ( Okay God stop laughing, it's just a thought!)
Nick on the other hand....I dont' know about some days! We were on our way to Le Mars the other day and he was talking to me, but I couldn't hear him so really he was talking to himself. After alittle while he must have senced that I wasn't paying attention and said I don't woove you mom (woove mean's love. He used to say woo woo and I would just die when he said it. It was just soo cute!) I said, "What? I love you!" He said, "Nope I don't woove you." Me, "Well I love you!" Him, "I don't woove you! HAHAHA" Now thinking of a good stratergy, I say, "You don't Love me?" He said, "Yes I do, I woove you Mamma!" He is just a little stinker!
