Bits and pieces

On a recent Sunday morning, Daddy took the girls out to the park so I could focus on a work task and get organized. Samantha had the idea to get me flowers, so they all came home with a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses. What a fantastic kid! I am so proud of her kindness. She is really a wonderful girl.

Last week Daddy was lecturing Samantha about standing up for herself to her sister. Sofia is two years old and she doesn't always understand sharing, so this has been an issue. Samantha was saying she didn't want the toy Sofia took from her, but Daddy explained the principle is important. Sam looked around and said, "I don't see the principal... like at school?" Ah, innocence.

Sofia is talking non-stop and has hit the "why not?" phase. Every question she asks that is answered with "No", her response is, "Why not?" This will continue until Sofia is satisfied with the answer. It's at times challenging, crazy and it's all good.
