...Auntie Candace," said my daughter's best friend Jacob. I responded with a feigned and saddened response of "ohhh, okay, that's sad."
Then I watched as both Jacob and Kianna, both of whom are 4 years old, brought their attention towards 2 year old Spencer while they were holding this apparently dead teddy bear.
"Will you make him better Spencer-Jesus?," they asked.
I could hardly contain myself as they pretended that "Spencer-Jesus" could really make this pretend dead bear all better.
I just had to laugh. All I got in response to my laughter were a couple of confused looks of "why are you laughing? our bear's dead."
The innocence of children. You gotta love it.
Who would have thought that my darling 2 year old son could double up as Jesus and heal dead teddy bears?
An introspective view into the life of an imperfect person. Be careful not to lose yourself in the process.

Monkey's
Life around here lately has been rather busy as usual. Kianna's back to preschool as of this week. I'm still babysitting on a regular basis between 3 different children as well. That certainly keeps me on my toes. Although, it seems to be my own children that cause me the most grief.
Spencer is most definitely hitting the 'terrible 2' stage. He's getting more attitude and getting into so much more trouble. For example, he decided one day during his nap time that he'd get into the garbage can full of dirty diapers. I'll just say that after naptime, he promptly got a bath and the sheets were put in the washing machine. Then only 2 days later during naptime, he found the bottle of baby lotion. He also got put in the tub and the sheets were put in the wash after that as well. Then this week, while I was busy doing some laundry, this little boy of mine decides he wants a banana. He pushed a chair up to the counter, found himself a steak knife, and was trying to cut a banana off of the bunch I had hanging on the hook on the counter. EEEEEEEEEEEK!!! Luckily I caught him before any serious damage was done. His sister was not like this at all!!!!
I wonder if I would have been done having children at one if he had been born first???
