Teach your children well

I am discovering that Luke and Noah learn all sorts of funny/horrible things from their older sisters. When Grace and Sophie were 2, they only had each other to copy so they didn't see or hear 4 year old tantrums, teasing and playing. It is amazing to me how well Noah has learned to tease everyone in the family and both boys have started telling me "It's not fair Mommy!" Noah even stomps his foot sometimes when he says it. But the context will be all wrong. Like I will tell Noah to go get his shoes to get ready to go and he will reply indignantly, "It's not fair Mommy!" I did get Luke on camera the other day though when I wouldn't give him any milk for his 5th bowl of cereal. What a mean mom I am.





You can hear Noah in the background. He is asking me to help him get a Dora game down to play. Noah has also started telling me to STOP! with his hand up in my face when I am singing to him, little stinker.

"I can not live without books." Thomas Jefferson

Neither can I! I was rearranging the shelves in my living room and became totally enthralled in my own books. I love them. I love the ones I have read 5 times and the ones that are still on my "to read" list. I love my favorite authors. Spending time with my books today was like an afternoon spent with an old friend.Cheesy...yes, but still a great time. I really can not imagine life without books. A sweet note - Noah said his first complete sentence today. I was sitting in our family room and he came up, book in hand, and said, "Mama, read the book."

Sledding in the South


Sophie figured out her own version of sledding. We are seriously snow deprived here in North Carolina! By the way-she is on her third pair of glasses for this year. I can't image how they keep getting broken....
