Chores

I thought it might be fun to start a "chore chart" for Addison this week.... was a very simple design-- 7 days and 4 chores per day. The chores weren't very interesting ones (change your underwear, brush your teeth, brush your hair and make your bed)..... so day 1 she completed all the chores very excitedly. That night before bed she changed her underwear about 20 times hoping she could get more stickers on the chart. I told her that once all the squares had stickers (7 days) that we'd bring her out to the local ice cream store. So day 2 she excitedly got up and got things done. At nap time she got the chart down, and put stickers in ALL the remaining squares and then VERY seriously wants to know if it's time to go get ice cream. I told her no, and that I must not have explained it very well and she said "dad will have to explain it, he has a better voice anyway."

Milk

On the way to church tonight Addison made comment about Isaac eating sweet potatoes..... which reminded me that I forgot to bring food (oatmeal & applesauce, sweet potatoes or pears) along to feed him. I said "shoot I forgot to bring food with for him".... Addison VERY seriously said, "don't worry mom you can feed him milk"; I said yes, she was right about that-- so that was good. She continued on "mom, you didn't forget food, you can feed him milk from your tummy, so that's good". :) Then she said "how did the milk get in your tummy?" It was like after all this time it was the first time she had ever thought about how the milk got there!

Pictures

This week I was putting up new pictures of the kids in the living room. I told Addison that we needed to take down the picture of her & Levi (Levi is only 6 months in the picture)... She started looking at another picture of Levi and said (kinda sad voice) "We're going to take down the picture of Levi cause we don't like him anymore?"
