Question of the Day

Sean was in his own little world at dinner... eating, singing, chewing with his eyes closed. Not that unusual really. Until very quietly, he spat out a bit and looking at it, he asked himself, "What is that thing they put on my plate?" He didn't question us, he just wondered aloud to himself. And Patrick and I lost it in hysterics. That child keeps us and everyone he meets in stitches. And what was it? An artichoke heart.

Rise and Shine

Luke and Sarah have started making breakfast. I let them use my electric skillet and they have made delicious eggs and pancakes and other items. They are eager to be morning chefs and enjoy helping out. It makes for an easier morning for me as well, so we all benefit. Unless the child is too eager!! So eager he sets his alarm for 6:15am so he can have breakfast ready when everyone awakes at 7am. Only he comes into Mom and Dad's room at exactly 3:36 am. He is found to be fully awake, clothed, and teeth brushed, ready to cook! (As this is what happened last night.) When I showed him the clock confusion swept over him...."I guess maybe I dreamt my alarm went off," he stated. So we'll all be a bit tired today. I laughed so hard at 3:36 it took quite some time to get back to sleep. But now the feasting can begin as I smell belgian waffles.
