I should finish them soon, and you're welcome to borrow both. They're quick reads. <BR/><BR/>It's just hitting me how difficult having a three year old and a newborn will be.<BR/><BR/>Oh well! too late to back out now.Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486296130283273035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-27243093590988213682007-11-01T21:52:00.000-04:002007-11-01T21:52:00.000-04:00Maggie sounds like a character!

It has me bemused and occasionally exasperated. <BR/><BR/>Me: E, clean up your mess.<BR/>E: You clean up your mess.<BR/><BR/>Me: E, please be quiet, your sister is napping.<BR/>E": You be quiet, Mama.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, she has her angelic moments, "Mommy, you're my sweetie pie."Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941079549267331427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-52996527603845058582007-10-30T22:32:00.000-04:002007-10-30T22:32:00.000-04:00Hilarious!My cousin, at about that age, in the mid...Hilarious!<BR/><BR/>My cousin, at about that age, in the middle of a silent prayer at church, was being hushed. And then, she cried out, "Stop it mommy, you're hurting me!" And her poor mother, who was most certainly not hurting her, was both mortified and trying not to laugh. Oh, the joys of church outbursts.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142078029870483991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-21204734848135682612007-10-30T14:03:00.000-04:002007-10-30T14:03:00.000-04:00she'll be wonderful, mostly b/c she has parents th...she'll be wonderful, mostly b/c she has parents that are actually tuned in to her and are helping guide her behavior. i see so many kids who are just out there, doing whatever, with mom or dad or grandma spacing out or pretending not to see. those kids with no boundaries are the ones i feel bad for, they are the ones who are destined for an interesting adolescence. <BR/><BR/>when we go (ahem), we take her to the 11:30, held in our downstairs church/parish hall and let her do her thing in the back in the hall part. when she gets too loud i do what i can to get her to pipe down, but you know what? what can i do? she's two, and church is boring. she likes to do what i call "liturgical dance" during the songs, and our priests don't seem to be bothered by it, so, i'm over it.pnutsmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051488790948822324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-50899136357781042972007-10-30T10:16:00.000-04:002007-10-30T10:16:00.000-04:00"Be quiet yourself."

She's a delicious handful, isn't she?<BR/><BR/>Our church celebrated la dia de los muertos on Sunday. After the mariachi band played, and during "quiet reflection and prayer" Willa decided to show delayed gratitude for the music by yelling "YAY" and clapping. An 18 month old's "YAY" resounds well in a 150 year old sanctuary.apthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160046630286384807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-54348927693101249802007-10-30T08:46:00.000-04:002007-10-30T08:46:00.000-04:00That is so funny!
