Even More Bits....

My six year old says to me the other day, "Daddy, I'm going to tell you a couple of things I learned in school today."  I love hearing about this stuff as the kindergarten mind is like a sponge.  Anyways I heard all about how you should stay away from power lines.

Kendra has a friend named Ruby in her kindergarten class.  As we were waiting to pick up the other kids from school yesterday, I hear this little voice from the back of my mini-van, "Daddy, Ruby puked in school today." 

When Kaylie was three, her mom and brother were driving someplace.  Jody hears Landen (who was probably four or five at the time) say, "Mommy, Kaylie just swore."  Before Jody even had a chance to ask her about this, Kaylie says, "Mommy, I not say 'shit'."

More Bits....

It seems no matter how stressful of a day I have, when I get home from work and see my one year old daughter smile at me, I feel peace. 

No matter how difficult a day I have, when I hear my twelve year old son joke with the other kids, I'm right where I want to be.

It makes no difference the struggles I work through, when I make my six year old giggle, I feel warm inside.

It doesn't matter how tough life is, when my nine year old tells me about her school day, I know I'm making a difference in her life.

It doesn't matter I'm overwhelmed with life, when my other twelve year old son says thank you for the smallest things, I know I have a good kid.

Bits....

The other day my six year old (Kendra) and my nine year old (Kaylie) were outside playing in the snow. Kendra slid down a big snow hill on her butt and apparently hit an ice chunk and injured her rear end. From all reports she was crying pretty hard. Kaylie was trying to consol her. Here’s where it gets a little foggy, but as she was crying and Kaylie was helping her a chunk of snot flew out of Kendra and into Kaylie’s mouth.


I didn’t hear about it until hours later.



Jody bought groceries last weekend. A rule at our house is that we can only have two open boxes of cereal at a time. Well, Jody bought Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, two favorites in the Davide household. Since then we’ve been Cheerios eating fools. I had a large bowl (I used to eat cereal out of a soup pan. The logic behind this was it had a handle so your hand wouldn’t get cold and it holds a ton of cereal) and Landen and Kaylie have had a minimum of two bowls each for a bedtime snack.

Last night for my bedtime snack I had Cocoa Pebbles.



Over Christmas I was able to spend time with my sister and husband and their two sons. It has been two years since I had seen my nephews. Shortly after they arrived, Andrew who is 8 says to my mom, “Grandma Kathy, I wear deodorant now” My nephew Sam got the coolest nerf gun ever! Fully automatic and each clip has 18 bullets. I wish I was a kid again.
