Then my morning is wrapped up in playing with you and the others: building block towers until you get bored and knock them down, sculpting with play-doh until you start throwing it at the wall, feeding you Goldfish until you smash them between the crevices of the kitchen table.
My day is centered around you and what you want; to play, to eat, to read. Happiness for a toddler is a day all about you, of course. But you know what makes you really happy? Your orange socks. You giggle as I put them on, you talk about them to your friends, you show them off to anyone who may listen.
Orange socks may be number one on your list, but I'm sure I'm a close second or third.
We have a pair like that. Or, wait, where did you get those? :-) I was thinking about that...basically, I am a glorified waitress (with chin hair) from 7AM until 7PM. But, yesterday it was kind of fun to make Owen toast with strawberry jam and discover a new feature on Play Doh with Marie. Maybe it's the lack of fresh air or open windows or monotony...I'm really looking forward to some adults this weekend!

ReplyDeleteMaybe this is the answer to Jax's crankiness....I need to go buy him some orange socks!
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you, come get it!
ReplyDeleteSounds a lot like our house. Only we are obsessed with several pairs of socks and can't seem to settle on just one. oy.
ReplyDeleteah, the simple things in life!
ReplyDeleteGosh. That sounds like my house everyday.
ReplyDeleteI have red and black striped knee-high socks and they are the best ever!!
ReplyDeleteCute post...the other day, my little guy tells me that I'm number 3 on the list. I have no idea what number 1 or 2 is but he says number 3 is the best number so I tend to believe him but I think he's holding back the truth! :)
ReplyDeleteOh they are devine - how cute that he loves his Orange socks so much!!! But I imagine that you really are #1!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't that how it goes? At night, when I just want a few moments of peace on the couch, the demands are still coming. "Honey, I just need to sit for a few minutes by myself. I'll take care of helping you fold your sleeping bag tomorrow." "But MOM - I HAVE to fold it up! You can't just SIT there like that!"
ReplyDeleteYes, SO lazy.
My son still loves orange. So now we only order orange juggling props :-) and he just turned 14
ReplyDeleteSweet kids you have.
Fantastic web site. Plenty of helpful information here.
ReplyDeleteHappiness for a toddler is a day all about you.
