M: Listen, Hope, the birds are chirping! They're saying, "Wake up, Hopie!"

Nugget makes a good pillow

My toddler just said

"I'm going to clean up all these toys so I can watch Yo Gabba Gabba with options."

So I said, "good idea! Would you like some help?"

And she replied, "no thanks."

Only a toddler

Opens the door on you while you're in the bathroom and commands, "say thank you!" 

How was your day?

We do our best to hold family dinner time as sacred, at least during the week. Today at the table Hope asked me, unprovoked, "how was your day?" and every tough thing from the past four days just evaporated, poof. #theylisten #amomentisallittakes On May 21, 2015 at 07:00PM

What Hope wants for her 3rd Birthday

A book.

When prompted, she added to the list:

A cake.
Her family.

Who needs sleep

My children are conspiring against me. Nugget permitted absolutely no longer than a 3-hour stretch of sleep last night and Hope popped AWAKE at 5:45am. #whoneedssleep #thankgoodnessitstheweekend #nugget On May 03, 2015 at 07:35AM
