Catching up....

I feel so behind on my blog! There have been so many times in the past few weeks that I've thought "Oh I need to blog that" and haven't done it!  Kinda makes me mad at myself.  So here's me...going to attempt a few anecdotes from the past few days and weeks!

"The Tinkerbell Chair"
 Eden has a small table and chair set that my mom got her last Christmas.  She eats at it a lot and does coloring and other activities.  It stays in the living room as it's a must have for breakfast in the mornings while watching cartoons.  So today we were home sick and I fixed her lunch.  I told her she could eat at her Tinkerbell table and that we'd "share some mini corndogs for lunch".  I cooked the mini corndogs, fixed her plate and fixed mine and then we began eating.  She sat down at her table, but wasn't there long before she must have had a revelation.  She got up and came over to me quietly and said, "Mama, I thought you were gonna share with me!"  I tried explaining to her that we had 'shared' because I fixed lots of the mini corndogs and she ate some and I ate some.  It was completely lost on her as she looked at my empty plate grumpily and said "No, you didn't share with me".  I kinda chuckled, as I guess she was right.  

Later she was coloring at her table when she came over and said, "Mama, do you wanna sit wif me?"  I said, "Oh, babe...I don't think so.  The tinkerbell chairs aren't for big people.  They aren't for grown-ups".  She looked at me very confused and said "But Daddy sits in them".  I replied the only way I knew how, "Daddy's brave".  She shrugged her shoulders and patted me on my knee as if to feel sorry for me as she asked "And you're not brave?"  I said, "Yeah, Mama's not brave."
