Magic show

H: "Tomorrow at weekend school we're going to do a magic show. I'm going to be the star and you can be the ... moon."

true friendship

When I asked H why she and Katie are best friends, she pointed to their shared love of cheese sticks.

What? Doesn't your 5-year old have a favorite bridge that they've been asking to walk across for almost two years straight? #lifegoals #todaysreward #shewasterrifiedbutgotoverit

Cultural Heritage Night

M: Tomorrow we're going to Cultural Heritage Night at your school.
H: What's that?
M: It's when people are dressed up from different countries and share their food and their dances and traditions. It'll be all the different cultures that are represented at your school, like there might be people from India or China or wherever.
H: But mommy, I already know lots of people from Chinese.

These two. Today they each wanted to go a different way (E to the train station and H to the "Trippy house") and were yelling to get their way. I stood at the crossroads and said, "You guys need to work it out." They kept yelling for a while, and then H said, "What if we go this way for a bit and then we go your way?" E looked back and forth and then said, "OK!" and took off running in H's direction. We never got to go his way, but he didn't seem to mind. The rest of the evening was pretty much a disaster, but I'm gonna remember that moment. #ducttapeparenting #nuggetunited

My new favorite, this is E sliding down the slide into our baby pool + H with a bucket of water + me watching from a chair. The kicker is the heart with the arrows pointed at each of us. 😻 #myartist #proudmama
