Cassie (age 2) has decided that poop is a good finger-paint, and that EVERYTHING should be painted. (Bed, walls, pillows, stuffed-dog, clothes, etc).

Lee (age 4) has decided that Mommy needs a better toothpaste system. Squeezing calmly from the bottom results in an “unbalanced” tube. His solution is to squeeze all the paste to the BOTTOM of the tube, thereby making it balance with the cap at the other end.

Ron (age 6) jumped up from behind the bed to “surprise” me tonight when I was looking for him at bedtime. I almost had a stroke, springing straight up in the air and making a shocked/outraged shrill “Aieeee” sound while flailing backwards. When asked what part of the day was his favorite, he replied “The part where Mommy went … (mimics me flailing/gasping) …” Asked what he’s looking forward to tomorrow, he said “Making Mommy do … (mimics me flailing/gasping) … again”.
