So, today was far from perfect, but it was much better than yesterday. There was less fighting. Less whining. Less slapping. Less toileting in places where it doesn’t belong. Respite P was back from her vacation. (Hurray! — providing kid-free grocery shopping for me!) The sun was out. The strawberry patch, flower garden, and 1/2 of the vegetable garden got weeded. Christian did pee on the toilet a couple of times today for me. All in all, it just even felt like a much better day!
Oh, and so funny this morning, Christian and I were battling over the need to wear clothes or go all-nude (for him, not me!). As we struggled, it sounded like he said, “Archrival.” So I asked, “Archrival?” And he repeated with pointer-finger raised, “Archrival!” (Which means that he is VERY serious and means it!) I’m sorry. Did my son just call me his “archrival” because I was going to make him wear clothes?!? WAY TOO FUNNY!!! 🙂
And Olivia has been “booching” today. Yeah, huh??? You know “blowing raspberries” or giving “zerberts” (if you watched “The Cosby Show”). Olivia calls them “booches.” “Mama, I gonna booch you on the cheek, OK?” “I booch Christian when he get home.” “I booch Daddy.” Booches to go around!!! May everyone receive (or give) a booch today! 😉
Olivia is also convinced that she would like to get married. (We went to a wedding about a month ago.) She will be the princess. She will marry a prince (of course). (Lucky me — I get to be the horse.) Today she decided that Christian will be the prince because she loves him “so much.” (her words) I can’t help but smile when I think of her saying that! 🙂
