real moments in parenting


1. Ella and I are making glitter time-out bottles and I act like the one that needs a time out when she spills glitter water on the counter. (Note to self: just wipe it up – it is no big deal.) Yelling is never the answer and makes me feel terrible.
2. My kids like to pretend they are putting each other in time out and laugh about it. Who is really in charge?
3. Weirdest thing my kids do right now. My 4 year old gets the 2 year old to go into the bathroom with her to go poop. She tells her there is surprises in the bathroom and they talk about life while she does her business. My 2 year old always falls for the, “there is surprises in the bathroom” line.
Can anyone top that for weird? It is on so many levels.
