I know, hooray, right? Here’s the even better news. Ainsley did not cry this morning at all!! Whoo hoo. Jump for joy and spit on the ground. My precious three year old sat meekly in the car and said she was not going to cry. I did high fives with her in the drop off line and explained a sweet lady (who she sees in the school hallways) was going to walk her to her class. We played give me five – up high, down low, too slow while waiting. I even let her catch my hand on the too slow part to boost her confidence.
Then, she unbuckled and I reminded her how much fun she was going to have today. She repeated, “I’m not going to cry, mommy.” I know baby, high five. I said. She looked at the lady approaching the car and said, “I might cry in here, but I promise I won’t cry in there (pointing at the school).” Okay, sweetie, not a problem. The door opened and, wa-la, she didn’t cry. She waved good-bye to me and walked sweetly into the school. I think I said Hallelujah out loud to no one but myself. What a great feeling!

What phrase do you say to your kids that gives you a mental double-take?

I tell my kids to stop eating Veggies and eat something else like the Meat. My oldest would eat only fruit & veggies if I let her.
I think I have also told them to stop fighting or they couldnt help clean too.
Yes, I tell my 15 month old she can’t have any more fruit. She LOVES it but I’m tired of the messy diapers…I once told her, “sorry sweetie, the kiwi’s all gone; do you want a cookie instead?” WHAT?!?! But seriously, I give her 4+ servings of fruit every day so an animal cracker or two won’t hurt 🙂
Bakerella ROCKS! I go to that website everyday, yes everyday, just to see if there is anything new.. One of these days I’m going to make cake pops, I am, I am, I am!
Hmmm… I tell my 3 year old no you may not drink Mommy’s water, you’ve already had 2 vitamins today- stop asking for more, and no we cannot have broccoli and “raisin brown” (raisin bran) for supper!
You guys are in my prayers! I hope Ryan does really good with his extubation tomorrow!
Extubation???!!! That’s a wonderful word and scary all in one. I am praying that it will go smoothly tomorrow. He’s such an amaazing little guy. I love him so much and have never met him. Some day a long time from now, you may have to pull a MckMama and have a get together so we can all meet your amazing little man.
I’m so glad the girls are adjusting to school. They are troopers for sure!
Sending lots of hugs and prayers!
I’ve sent my son to his room before and told him he can’t read while he’s there! He loves to read and I don’t want him to try to get sent to his room on purpose.
I’m praying for you!
We’ll see…. Whenever I say that to anyone I realize how often my parents used that one on me.
Ryan’s surgical wound looks amazing… Maddie’s is barely visible now – it’s crazy how kids heal. Someday, hopefully very soon CNMC will be in your rear view mirror…..

ha ha! the other day i said to kael (who doesn’t prefer meat, but loves veggies) “if you don’t eat your chicken mommy isn’t going to give you any more broccoli” i think looked at my husband and we both exchanged a look of disbelief that these words had come outta my mouth. i mean, you doesn’t give their kids more veggies?
