Awkward parenting moment of the week

Ryanne was scoping out the drawing of us from our honeymoon. The last 0 in 2000 is a bit open. She was confused about it being 2006.

I explained that it was 2000 and that we were married in 2000.

She asked when she was born. 2003. She corrected me to her birthdate.

"When did you do penis to vulva?"

I told her that took 9 months but couldn't correct her to vagina.

Can I change my answers on the TAG for for the science question? I forgot about biology.

Impatient

Today, I met up with some Girl Scout people at a Walgreen's. It was pouring. It had been a long day. I had to get our registration for spring campout turned in.

I left the kids in the car with the heater running. I was all of two feet away.

I got distracted talking cookies with our mentor mama.

I saw something in my dash and turned to see this


perched in the window.

The other mom asked what ages our girls were. She seemed surprised that my kindergartener wrote that. She laughed and said she best let me go. I could only nod and agree.

Story teller

Ryanne loves role playing and general story telling. They can be pretty elaborate.

Today's involved Miss J and Christmas and stilts and...

At one point she addressed the person as "mama" in her story Ryanne voice. Corin looks at her and reprimands, "Miss Jowi is not your mom."

Ryanne matter of factly states, "In the story she is."

In the car

Driving down the road in 5 o'clock traffic, I tried to distract the kids by asking what they recognized. Ryanne starts reading.

Target, Party City, Arby's

Then we moved out of the strip mall area.

Flowers for dead people...

And where they are buried...

Interesting interpretation of the cemetery.

First ball drop

When Ryanne asked me today if she could stay up late tonight, I never thought she would make it. Thus, I agreed that she could hang out with us for the evening.

That girl wins the stubborn award.

She made it through 2 episodes of Chuck and watched the delayed ball drop from NYC at midnight central. We introduced her to Dick Clark. We watched a few fireworks. Daddy put her in bed.

She is one tired girl, but she made it through the evening awake.

Happy New Year!
