Lessons are sometimes the hardest thing to learn and understand.
Ella had a tough day with lesson learning. She lost a brand new chap stick that I bought her while at Wal-Mart this morning....she would not listen to me as I explained letting it sit up on the kitchen counter was probably the best option as she would know where it was when she wanted to use it. This is not the first chap stick she has lost and not the first time she felt keeping it with her was the better way handle keeping track of her chap stick. I let her do it her way again only after explaining I would not be buying her anymore chap stick if she lost this new one. Yep, lost it and after a big search and talk about how Mommy and Daddy sometimes suggest she do things a certain way because we have been down the same path and in this case lost many a chap stick. We found it and it now sits on the counter.
She also didn't get a reward sticker tonight as she threw a horrible fit at quiet time...kicking the door causing a picture to land on the floor and then when she went to move it, it fell on her head. She screamed for 30 minutes and when Josh went to check on her she said she wanted her chap stick. That does not weren't yelling for 30 minutes. Bad choices = bad consequences. No reward sticker and she lost to Sophia dress until tomorrow.

One thing I don't understand.....pink camo. Isn't the purpose of camo to stay out of site, view...be incognito....invisible for others to see?
So what is the whole purpose of pink camo. I have never known anyone who wears pink to be a person trying to stay out of site, view, be incognito or invisible...pink is a vibrant, loud, bright...look at me color!!!
Who loves camo that much, really? Just don't understand.

I left my wallet sit on a stack of paper towels today right before exiting Giant. Realized this after only 5 minutes, if that. Went back in and it was gone! After canceling all our credit cards and debit card...we received an email from Citizens Bank that they had my wallet.
What a blessing.
The children sat so nicely in the van while we called all the credit card companies and debit card company. Ella even told me that maybe a bird would find my wallet and bring it to our house in Pottstown...again innocence of a child.

It's funny how when you become a parent you learn to tolerate things you never thought you'd tolerate. Listening to toys sing their silly little songs over and over again to the point you sing them in your sleep is one of those things you do as a parent.
Putting songs on repeat while in the car is another thing you do as a parent. Last year we listened to Jingle Bells for a good 3 months straight. The day we changed the cd and moved on to another song I danced in my seat!!! This year "Must Be Santa" was put on repeat today. How many months will this last?? Another thing you do as a parent....yeah I am already finding myself singing the song over and over in my head and humming it to myself when the children aren't around.
The little things we never thought came with parenthood are some of the memories that will stick with us the most!
