Yesterday TR asked me to wrap a caders so she could be a super hero. The cape was a play mat. I took a paper clamp and tried to secure the mat around her. When she lifted her arms the mat fell off and she told me, the clamp was not a good idea.
She has been saying, "I don't think that's a good idea" or "that's not a good idea" a lot and I wondered where she got that term. Last night the kids were pretending a storage container was a pool and QT stood up and did something. Mr A told him, that was not a good idea.
That is where TR gets it! Apparently Mr A says that often but kids will make you aware of
everything. When QT does not like something he says with force, NO Ice cream, NO candy! Their nanny tells them that. He also has been saying, "ahsi" when thank you is appropriate. I thought it was how he pronounced Thank you. He said it in front of the nanny and she screamed and said gracias. I realized that he's been saying gracias. He is bilingual!
Kids also make me appreciate organization. When QT wants a snack he leads me to the kitchen and says what he wants while pointing to it. He knows where the different foods live and that makes it easier on both of us. I love that he will take his time to pick out his snacks. I love that he knows how to get his pajamas out of his pajama drawer. Structure and organization improves the day in the life of a mommy.
