Today was filled with the common - grocery shopping, trash halling, kitchen cleaning, bananna bread baking, kid drop off and pick up, and the constant feeding of Katie, which leads to grocery shopping, kitchen cleaning, bread baking, trash halling. . . You get the picture. I never knew one kid could eat so much ALL day long. She does not reconginize chocolate as junk food - she has decided that it could be her sole food group. With her love for chocolate so great, she is learing the word NO! Today I told her that she could have a sweet after lunch (this was at 8:30am). She decided at 9:00am that she could not wait any longer for lunch. After many distractions from me she finally had lunch at 11:30. She had two bites of soup and then declared herself full. Lets move onto the sweets! Needless to say she did not like my response. She is becoming smart in her search for the goods - she has learned what chocolate has nuts (she does not like) and which ones do not. She has learned to hide the wrappers so that I do not know how much she has had. Let me add chocolate hidding to the list of my daily duties. Maybe if she does not see it the lunch discussion will only last one hour instead of three.
Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.
