Things I've learned

Here are some things that I've learned this week.
1) Clara gets car sick.
2) I didn't really learn this one this week, but after learning #1, I remembered it. Gas station bathrooms are always in use when you need to use it ASAP. And it seems to take the occupant longer than normal
3) Clara really can go a day without a nap. Yesterday and today she just played in her crib with her blanket and pillow for an hour.
4) It helps to read the monthly Relief Society calendar that I get on my door handle at the beginning of every month.
5) Jeremy is a great cleaner. (Is that even grammatically correct?)
6) The very cute football ribbon I bought can't be used for anything I had in mind when I purchased it. The footballs wash off when you put it in the laundry.
7) One class can still produce a lot of homework. So when you were hoping for more time with your husband over the summer, it still doesn't happen.
8) Clara is good at hiding toys. She has a hard time sharing some days, so she just hides her toys from the kids we have over. The problem is that I even have a hard time finding them....
9) No matter how cute an outfit is, it will be out grown before you are ready to pack it up.
10) Kids really do copy EVERYTHING you do. Sometimes Clara is such a mini me in all her actions. I don't realize how much I do something (like hold my phone to my ear with my shoulder to free up my hands) until I see Clara doing it.

You know, she is very bright. That is probably the best way to avoid conflict when you're just not quite ready to share.

I understand about the cute clothes thing.

For Car sick babies you give them benadryl, Grace gets REALLY car sick. if we give her benedryl (as recc by her dr) she does fine.

I worry about how Grace mimics me sometimes.

Hey, at least your kids is doing good things you do. ;) Mine just said yesterday when she got mad, "Gosh dang it!" then she looked at me and said, "look I talk like mommy!"

I laughed out loud when I read about Clara hiding her toys--smart! What a character she is.
And, yes, children do do what they see their parents doing, but fortunately, if you are doing right things then that is a good thing. No?
