Some days, you as a parent just don't want to get out of bed when the youngster wakes up. That was this past Saturday. These are the days when I LOVE that the toy room is right off our master....just send the kid in there and doze.
At some point Nora walked in with a Bartlett pear. I remember her commenting something to the effect of , 'I need the stem off. My knife not sharp enough mommy' as she was holding her playskool kitchen knife.
''You are right Nora, your knife is not sharp' Nora exit stage left.
Back to the glorious dozing. You have that mommy ear on just enough to hear if there's trouble. Then you realize there is NO sound.
No sound is worse, infinitely worse. Be worried.
''Mommy Daddy, here is the yucky part. Where I put it?'
Huh?
Nora standing there with the top of a the pear and the butt of it. No, no, no!!! She did not do that.
''I cut and cut and cut it with my knife''
''Where did you cut it? On mommy's brown rug?''
''No I cut it on the carpet right over there.''
Nooooooo, forever will I have a sticky carpet stain on my berber. Rich and I just layed in bed and chuckled at our parenting fail of the weekend.
Ahhh...deep breathe, worry only about the big things in life, not the little things like the yucky part.
