Learning the hard way and other stories

Let's start with the first born:  my beanie boy.  Recently Mike was explaining to Carter how we would be visiting another boy that was four years old.  Carter responded "Dad I'm four so I'm almost ten!"  That had Mike and I laughing pretty hard.

Then my Roover girl.  Today we were walking through Carter's new preschool to drop off some paperwork.  I looked at Ava who was walking forward with her head turned completely sideways.  I corrected her and said "Ava, make sure you are looking forward while you are walking."  Sure enough no less than a minute later I hear a big BAM and Ava had walked straight into a door.    If only my kids would listen to me, they wouldn't have to learn these things the hard way.  Can you see the big pink bump on her head?  Although I'm sure Meme is laughing at this, because she has said the same thing about me a hundred times.  Oh well, we all have to make our own mistakes.

Finally Mr. Technology.  Mike allowed Dawson to play with his phone today, while it was locked.  He came back into the room because Carter was yelling "he's taking a picture of somebody!"  Sure enough, Dawson had figured out how to unlock the phone and had decided to face time our realtor.  Apparently she was laughing and Mike apologized for the unauthorized face time.  He's going to be reprogramming my computer any day now, I'm sure.
