I am currently listening to my children talk to each other.

I asked them to pick up their rooms before dinner.

"Parker, go clean up your room."

"No."

"Parker, really. Go clean up your room."

"Hmmmm...no."

"Parker just do it. Go into your room and start cleaning it!"

No repsonse.

"I feel like all I ever say to you is clean your room Parker!"


Wait.


What?

Showing and Telling

Everyday after preschool we have the same discussion in the car.

"How was school...good"
"What was for snack...cheese and crackers."
"What did you learn...nothing."
"How was ________ (we will leave this name blank)...a little wild."

Today Blake brought Parker for show and tell.

They wore matching t-shirts. They had matching jeans. They have matching hair.

Blake went and gathered his little brother from the 2-3's class and brought him into the 4-5's circle. They shared a carpet square. They whispered and quietly giggled like a couple of girls.

Then Parker turns to Blake in a very quiet voice and says, "Who is ________?"

Blake points to the "young wild one who shall remain nameless."

Parker gets up on his knees, shakes his finger and loudly whispers to the little boy, "____________...No! No! No!"

Oh Boy...

Blake is playing t-ball.

Last week at practice they called him in from the outfield to play catcher.

He was busy collecting dandelions.

He was wearing a shirt that says, "I Heart Mom"

Stay tuned for the post where the pitcher beats him up after the game.

Sometimes being the only girl in my house makes it 3000 times more exciting when you buy new shoes.

Obviously.

Amen...

Dear Jesus, please don't let anyone from our preschool read this:

The other night I asked Parker if there was anything specific that he wanted to pray about before I tucked him in.

He said, "Mommy, pway sor Wucas" (Lucas)

"Oh really, why does Lucas need prawer?" (I can't help it!!)

"He wild boy Mommmy."

"Okay, anyone else?"

"Oh, Mommy, Madison. Naughty gurwl."

"Okay, Lucas and Madison."

"Jonah too Mommy. He kicker. Hitter boy."

"Got it. Madison, Lucas and Jonah. What about you Parker, should we pray for you?"

"Nah, me good boy."
