Heard Around the House

Recently I mentioned to one child, who shall remain nameless on the internet, how they were so fast at getting dressed in the morning.  Consistently every day this child is the first one done.  The child then remarked, "Oh, that's because I never change my underwear.  I can get done faster that way."  And off we went to the bedroom to change underwear.

It makes me so happy to see the true joy and excitement from Ava at the thought of a new sibling.  She has gladly filled in every person we come across about our big news.  She told me "I'm telling Mrs. Justice (her teacher) and Jerry (her bus driver) every detail about this new baby.  I love details."  She also wrote in big letters on our driveway in sidewalk chalk: My mom is having a baby.

Another child, who shall also remain nameless, told me that they don't put their socks in the laundry.  Despite having a drawerful of socks, a certain two are favorites, so they just wear them and put them back in the drawer.  That way the are ready to go whenever.  I'm beginning to see we may need to discuss some basic hygiene standards.
