School day mornings can be a bit hectic around here. This morning, however, went off without a hitch. After the kids had eaten, brushed teeth, and finished their morning chores, they had about 20 minutes to play. Dade got out his How to Draw Fish book and penciled some lovely fish. Brody got out his Seek and Find book and started, well, seeking and finding with some help from Evie.
When it was time to leave for school, we were all ready except Brody. He just had, "one more thing to find, Mom!" Fine, but make it quick. Evelyn said, "You'd better hurry up, Brody, because I can't babysit you." Her reason?? Not the fact that she's only three. Not the fact that it would be a crime for me to leave them home alone together. No, her reason was simple: "I can't babysit you because I can't wipe people's butts." True, Brody cannot yet be trusted to wipe himself, but I found it so interesting and grown up that this was the reason she couldn't babysit. It makes perfect sense.
Later, as we loaded into the minivan, Brody says to Soren, "Soren, if you were a booger, I'd pick you." Feel the love.

Because that line of Brody's is classic.
