My Five this Friday-mama confessions!
1. Sometimes when my children are sleeping, I miss them so much I want to wake them up. I contemplate it and decide it's not worth it. I have never done it. Okay, maybe I sometimes touch their soft little cheeks when they are babies and *hope* to not wake them.
2. It is no secret that I am not a morning person. My childrenoften daily eat dry cereal for breakfast. After 7:30, I am a much more alert mother.
3. Jeff pointed out today that I am not very good with unrealistic pretending. Ava had her van for her dollhouse full of dolls. She excitedly exclaimed, "Look at my full van!". I replied, "Hmmm....looks like that van is too full." Jeff asked me if I was worried that the dolls would get hurt. Seriously, I watch her play and think, "I wonder how she can even manage to play with dolls of 2 different sizes." Or "The floorplan of this dollhouse is really impractical." I have issues.
4. Last night I bought 2 bottles of Coke and hid them in the fridge. I wasn't going to hide them from Jeff, only from the kids and myself. I was kind of hoping I'd forget about them and then surprise myself. That didn't happen. But, it was a great treat at naptime! :)
5. Thao knew that he could get anything he wanted from me as long as he called me "mama'. It worked. every. single. time.....almost. ;) Ava and Liam have yet to figure that out.
