Today

Today was one of those days that I just wished I could be a kid again. You know just spend all day playing barbies, watching cartoons, or even enjoying a bowl of cheetos (I know I could still do that as an adult, but I have too much guilt about it now).

Being an adult is just tiring and stressful sometimes. Sure there are perks, we get to listen to no one but ourselves, go shopping for whatever we need without asking permission. Cambree told me this morning, that I tell her what to do about everything. It made me think for a minute....do I? I really do try and let her make choices and I also try to be fair. But I won't get into that discussion. However, this morning I was feeling like it would be kind of nice to have someone telling me what to do. Someone with some experience and knowledge. I feel like I keep getting surprises thrown at me, and as an adult surprises are kind of scary. Just some good sound advice would be helpful sometimes. I hope I have some good sound advice for my kids when they are older....well I guess I could warn them to not make the mistakes I made. But that doesn't seem to be very helpful. I know I'm rambling on, but it's my blog and I'm allowed too.

Tonight while reading books, Brody was impressing me with his knowledge of the alphabet. We were reading a book called, "Who lives in the Rain Forest?" He was pointing at each letter in the title telling me what they were.....he sounded like this:
W, H, zero (me, Brody it's an O because it is a letter),oh ok, L, one (me, no remember these are letters, it's an i) V, E, Snakey S.....he got to the last T and said a tapping T and the mystery letter (the question mark)...that's a mystery uh mommy....yes it is Brody (no reason to start an argument this late at night). I love the learning process he is undergoing. His curiosity again reminds me how much fun it was to be a kid!
