Once again the kids proved to me that eggs, toast and OJ, jam-pack some energy in young little bodies. We can no longer consider it a fluke or coincidence. They bounce off the walls when they get some high quality protein and grain! That's how I see it. They're like my little ponies.
Hubby left a note for the kids this morning. It said, "Benny & Jet, I hope you have a great day! :) Love, Dad" and for the first time ever, Ben read it!! He read it all by himself with only one minor grunt from me when he accidentally said "good" instead of "great" but quickly corrected himself. Does it show that I am proud?? Well, I AM!! I look so forward to the days when I can sit in a condo at the lake with my family, warming up from our winter stroll, and all of us reading our individual books. Although, at the point when this actually happens, I will probably be much to teary eyed to read. It will be a beautiful thing out shined only by the philosophical conversations that we will hopefully be having over dinner that evening. I know, I know, they are only 5 and 6, but a mother can dream can't she?!
*******************Favorite Quotes of the Month**********************
At the Sonic Drive-In:
Voice: "Welcome to Sonic, can I take your order?"
Dad: "Have we made it in time for happy hour?"
< pause >
< very unusually long pause >
Ben: "Apparently not."
In the car on the way home from tap and ballet:
Benjamin making some obvious argument about something I can't remember,
Juliet: "Yes, of course, but..< continuing argument >.." (She's five! It just sounded funny!)
