Here is this morning's little ditty:
Me: Who wants to play Giddy-up Horsey?
Hailey: Leaping into my lap.
Matt: Getting there too late...starts to hit Hailey.
Me: Matt, go into time-out for hitting. We don't hit.
Matt: Walks independently to our time-out spot and sits down. (what??? that's a first!)
Me and Hailey: Giddy-up (for about 90 seconds). Matt quietly looks on from the time-out spot.
Hailey: Gets down and does her own thing.
Me: walks over to Matt and beckons him over so we can have our little chat.
Matt: Looks me right in the eye.
Me: We don't hit each other because it can hurt. Give me a kiss and say sorry.
Matt: Smooch and head butt.
Me: Now, please go tell Hailey that you're sorry for hitting her. (yeah right)
Matt: Get off my lap, walks in Hailey's direction, gets right in her face, and gives her a kiss...MWAH!
Me: (in total disbelief) you guys are so cute...I love you so much...you're the best kids in the world. (seriously, I need to learn to hold it in a little bit)
This post brought to you by the fine folks at Sesame Street who are currently occupying/babysitting my kids. Matthew saw a rainbow on this morning's episode and examined the back of the television to see if the rainbow was coming from back there. Hailey danced her little tush off with Cookie and the Letter O. Love mornings like this!!!
