I find a strange amount of joy in My Oldest Girl taking boffer swords to her friend’s party to “teach all those girls how to sword fight… FOR REAL.”

My Runner
My Oldest Girl told me that her friends used to just know to run ahead and tell the bus driver to wait for her. But this year, after her heart surgery, she can run right along with them all the way to the bus! She is amazed to realize what she thought was “normal” was actually pretty weak. She’s excited about getting even stronger and is loving her softball and volleyball teams. Yay for my brave, strong kiddo!
Common Household Phrases
Three actual phrases overheard at our house tonight:
“No, you may not wear a clip-on tie and a cape to bed.”
“Soy milk is not lotion. Stop rubbing it onto your skin.”
And my personal favorite, “Last time I checked, the ABC song did not include the word ‘poopie.’ ”
Parenting is always an adventure. Some days more than others.
