I often find myself wishing life had a "do over" button.<br /><br />But alas. You will be here SO SOON and we will throw all of the children together and let them have meltdowns while we put our feet up and drink a few beers. Hee hee. I love you!tracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-50651358673789387332010-06-30T09:42:48.085-04:002010-06-30T09:42:48.085-04:00Sophia (almost 3) acts out episodes of Nick Jr. sh...Sophia (almost 3) acts out episodes of Nick Jr. shows. She has a great imagination and it is entertaining to watch and play along. It's even funnier to have people play along who have no clue what Sophia is talking about. How many times can we pretend to be Pirate Pigs? We are trying to teach her to pick up her toys before starting another game (we have a small house); this tactic normally results in melt downs. I hope there is a Dora episode about tidyness!<br /><br />-MoiraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-73645624992519990682010-06-29T09:20:14.096-04:002010-06-29T09:20:14.096-04:00I have a boy, just like Harper.

Last week he asked me about a picture of the Titanic that I have, so I told him. Now he's distraught and won't stop talking about it so I'm trying to make it more cheery and pretend that it sank but that everyone is happy. Sigh. And last month he was a dog and wouldn't walk or respond to me unless i called him doggy Jack.

So I think I'd take the mess if it meant she was happy and entertained. <br /><br />Yesterday she threw a series of fits, the biggest because she was so bored because all we'd done is go to the library to get new books. <br /><br />It is hard being a 1st grader's cruise director. <br /><br />I'm feeling your pain.CARRIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137602199313584768noreply@blogger.com
