Every once-and-a-while Lorelei likes to go under the table to do her school work. A week or so ago it became a very elaborate construction build of each child making their own "office" under/beside the table. (Eventually waaaayyy messier-looking than this picture!) I got a pretty good chuckle one day after school when Lorelei went into her office and had to add several signs asking her brother to quit shooting her with bows and arrows. The pictures just say to me...having a little brother is such a pain! :) Really though, they get along really well most of the time!
I had to chuckle at one of those "I will never" mom moments that came up recently. I have avoided teaching Lorelei to 1) tie her shoes and 2) ride a bike without training wheels. She just didn't seem to have the self control for me to be able to teach her calmly! Well, then came the moment of her toe being squished in her tennis shoes. Then came shopping and only two shoes that had no laces in her size, one of which being the exact style shoe she just grew out of, the other also being the same, minus a few zebra rainbow lines...soooo the mom who said she would NEVER send her child to school with laces unless she knew how to tie them...DID. I made her promise to practice every day and said she couldn't keep wearing them if she didn't try to learn, and sure enough, with minimal days and minimal tears, she learned! So proud...now who wants to teacher her to ride without training wheels!?
