Not a Helpful Mama!

Monday - L needed to pee, but was still wearing her leotard from ballet (under her clothes for added complication).  I talked her through taking off her shirt and sweatpants and when I offered to help with her leotard she told me, "I know how to do that from when you were not helpful." Maybe I should be less helpful in future?

Tuesday - L's phrase of the day: "Excitingly helpful" she declared in response to my request to mist and water my house plants.

Wednesday - L's teacher read "Julius the Baby of the World" at circle time.  L was beside herself.  We have this book at home, as she pointed out to her teacher.  She beamed proudly at her classmates each time her teacher read her favourite phrase, "Julius is the baby of the world" and insisted that her teacher read all the words, even the ones accompanying the pictures. L frequently quotes from this book praising her little sister, "A is the baby of the world."
