A few kidisms
Emily is nearly two and half and spends her days watching and learning from those around her. She has apparently observed several legitimate uses for one common household commodity: toilet paper.
The other day dh watched her enter the bathroom and remove a section from the roll. First she wiped her bottom with it. (Thankfully she was fully clothed). Once satisfied that the task was complete, she proceded to blow her nose on the same little wad of tp. Then she finished up by wiping her mouth with it napkin style before depositing it in the trash. It takes a lot to offend the sensibilities of a 2 year old.
As we were all getting ready to leave for art class on Friday, Chase lamented that we couldn't take daddy's 'new' car. It is, as he put it, the 'coolest car ever'. I plan to remind him of this when he turns 16 and is in the market for a car of his own. Somehow I doubt the coolest car EVAR will still be a 1990 Ford Taurus station wagon. |

My Blog
A few years ago, when our oldest was 4 and her two brothers were both in diapers, my in-laws were a few days into a visit from their home 3000 miles away when my father-in-law noticed that the rug under the dining room table was in serious need of vacuuming. He is not prone to domestic duties (his wife is a great housekeeper) but seeing the need, he decided to try his hand with the Hoover. As soon as 'Grandpa' declared his intention to get out the vacuum, four little feet ran for the toy box to get vacuums of their own. We had one toy vacuum and we improvised a second from a 'popper' push toy. The baby, who was not yet walking, was right in the thick of things on all fours, never one to be left out. Grandpa, trying to maneuver the self-propelled 'Wind-tunnel' around the 10 foot rug while avoiding the table legs and dodging his three little helpers, remarked in exasperation, "I just wanted to clean the rug, I wasn't looking to start a three ring circus." Welcome to my life!
About Me
My name is Tiffany. I am a 39 year old mother of 4. My husband, John, and I planned to homeschool even before we married 17 years ago but it would be several years before our oldest would be ready to start on this journey. We had our children in alphabetical order, quite by accident at first, but once we got started, we figured we had to keep it going. They are Alyssa 10, Brendan 8, Chase 6, and Emily 3. Our 4th baby, D, miscarried at 13 weeks. We have no intention of making it to Z.
