Wow, I haven't posted in almost a year. It's been a busy one!
No way to capture everything that has happened, but here are some recent stories.
Recently, Jellybean started taking TaeKwanDo. Turns out she loves it. LOVES it. Her favorite day of the week is the day she has class. She adores Master Clark, and is exceedingly proud of having passed her first belt test. (spoiler - all the kids pass).
Her Saturday class was cancelled over Memorial Day Weekend, and Joey was upset to miss class. So M took a stab at explaining why it was cancelled, and the conversation went like this:
M: Class is cancelled because it's Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day is a holiday.
J: Oh yes, I know what that is.
M: Ok, so what is Memorial Day?
J: Memorial Day is the day we honor the men and women who fought the dinosaurs.
M: (Speechless, then laughing) Um, it's complicated. But yeah, that's it.
J: Nods with satisfaction.
God, I love 4 year olds. The non sequiturs are awesome.
Also, recently I had my appendix out. On the way home from the hospital, M popped into the pharmacy to fill my prescription. The girls followed him in, but didn't make it past the gumball machines at the door. Soon, both girls were begging for quarters. Explaining that I didn't have any, I reminded Jellybean that I'd been in the hospital, and the only thing I had in my possession was the little clutch (thoughtfully provided by Monkey) holding my phone and my toothbrush.
Jellybean's response? Mom, it would be more convenient if the next time you have your appendix out, you could remember to bring quarters. With arms akimbo, in a lecturing tone of voice!
I laughed so hard I cried.
