Hats

Silas likes to put on Daddy's hats. Sometimes he wears them all at one time.

Passing the Cactus

Henry made up a new idiom tonight. We were being silly and talking in circles when he said, "I believe we've already passed this cactus."

I think it could catch on.

It's the Little Things

My husband took Silas with him to school pick-up this afternoon while I was at a doctor's appointment.

I felt very much appreciated when they got home and he said, "You do NOT do that every day."

Why, yes. Yes I do.

Empathy

ME: I'm going to lie down on the couch and take a nap.

HENRY (sadly): I wish you could.

Distracted Much

Henry was taking forever getting dressed this morning, so my husband shouted, "Henry, what's taking so long?"

Henry shouted back, "I don't know what's taking so long! Probably this Lego book!"

The Cost of Having Alone Time in the Kitchen

Uh-oh

Silas, still asleep at 5:30pm. This does not bode well for bedtime.
