Chips Off the Old Block

Tuesdays are a different kind of weeknight for us. Lily has ballet from 5:15-6:15, so I usually pick her up after work. This gives me a chance to get a few things done like reading or sermon preparation in the hour of 4:30-5:30. However, in the past there have been some fireworks when Lily has disagreed with something.

Because of this, I thought I'd just check in yesterday with a quick text message to see how things were going. Apparently they were fine. Amanda responded, "Lily's doing homework on the toilet." That's my girl! Way to multitask!

We've been weaning Noah off of his blanket and I thought that we had really turned a corner, but he woke up last night crying. Amanda had to get it out and bring it to him. That seemed to settle him down. He knows that he will be giving it up when he turns 5. He can sleep without it, but he'd rather have it.
