Excuses, Excuses

So you may have noticed that I've fallen away from the blog...again. This time for more life events. My hubby is director of our church's VBS and in the next week or two we are moving from our apartment to our first house. Wish us luck! As soon as we are moved the blog will hopefully start again!

Lesson 146: Floor Level Nutrition

Cheerios taste better (and have more nutrients!) when eaten off the floor. Promptly dump out all bowls of cereal onto the floor. The more scatter there is, the better they taste.

Lesson 145: Mr. Mimmicky

Apparently when I find something that Deci has drawn on I say "Oh Boy" and with my hand on my hip heave a great sigh. Or at least that's what Deci did when he thought someone had colored on the big orange ball in the nursery...


Today's Lesson: Make sure anything you do can be translated into child-ese in an adorable-make-everyone-grin sort of way. It makes for great facebook posts.

Lesson 144: Counting Calories

Once upon a time there was a little boy playing in the nursery at his church. His mommy had just given him the most delightful cookie and then she sat down to feed his sister. However, this little boy had a problem: How can he get a drink when this delicious cookie makes him so thirsty? He knew Mommy liked him to keep his cookie at the table and not to scatter crumbs all over the nursery, and he knew his sippy cup was in the crib across the room, but he was too small to get it out of the crib, and Mommy was feeding Sister. Whatever shall this little boy do? Ah, but he's a clever one, this little boy. He eats a few bites of his cookie, carefully sets it down at the table so as not to leave crumbs, and then runs quickly (so his thirst didn't overwhelm him) to the crib where he pulls the sippy cup of water to the edge and drinks through the bars. Thirst quenched, he realizes he has left that delectable cookie at the table, and quickly returns to start the process all over again. Again and again he runs back and forth not noticing the very amused look on Mommy's face. What a clever little boy.

Today's Lesson: Run while eating; it saves calories.

Lesson 143 From Elora: Rolling Over

Once they start rolling over, they won't stop and diapering becomes a two person sport.

Lesson 142: Backup

If all else fails break out the Oops All Berries Captain Crunch. Resistance is futile.
