Latest “wondrous” moment:My daughter getting out of her bed to tell me to take her temperature because she is sick (since she didn’t want to sleep in her room). When I proceeded to tell her that she is not sick, she came back in & said “did you hear me coughing? I am sick?” PP went back to bed then came back out & asked for a tissue then asked me what I was doing. She totally knows what tactics to use to try to get out of sleeping in her room.
My child’s most memorable first: the first time she sang some of the words to the “Blue’s Clues” song, “Mail”
You just have to know this about me: I am addicted to tv (and willing to admit it) - specifically reality TV.
My favorite thing about being a parent is: Having my child learn from me–i love having a “mini-me!”
If someone dumped out my purse they would find: My wallet (chocked full of coupons), make up, cell phone, lollipops, tissues, fruit snacks, and planner.
The first thing I think of when I wake up is: Do I actually have to get up?
