My house seriously needs to just be empty with nothing in it. It doesn’t seem to matter where I put anything Ella and Cooper find things and think that they are theirs to play with.
I am trying to teach myself to stand back and shake my head, a lot less frustrating.

Ever have a day when you wish you could be a kid again? All those care free summer days doing what you wanted without a care in the world. Mom and Dad had it covered.
Now as a parent I sit and watch my children and think wow I’m the one who “has it covered”…
I know I am not perfect, far from it. I’m not a Mom who has it all together, far from it. But my children love me regardless and know nothing different. They are happy, smiling and always ready to do and go…ready to give me a hug and a kiss every day.
In their eyes I DO HAVE IT COVERED!!!!
Outside with Ella and Cooper….Cooper playing at the water table, while Ella is showing me all the party favors she received at her friends birthday party. She walks over to Coop and says: ” what you doing boy?”
Having your daughter come into the bathroom while your getting ready, to say good morning….yes a good start to my day! 🙂
Ella and Cooper are playing with Play Doh….I have made the decision to stay out of the room and not pick up every tiny piece they drop as they play…it only frustrates me.
I peeked in the room and they are doing rather well without my supervision.
I’ll be frustrated with the whole cleaning process guaranteed!
Ella got her first Reward Item this weekend. She chose Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony. It came with a ribbon that attaches to her hair and a trophy that hooks on to her leg.
Ella calls the trophy a cup and thinks Rainbow Dash drinks from it. Every time she says it I envision the pony taking communion cause that is what the little trophy looks like….a mini goblet!
