Try, Try in Rage
Aiden was struggling with his coding quiz today, most likely because his brain was already exhausted from his math assignment, so he went back and re-did it and got 100%. I told him I was proud of him for trying so hard, and his response was, "My perseverance is powered by anger." Whatever gets you through the day, little man.

Maybe We Should Give Up On Clothes
All three monkeys (plus me, to some extent) have been sick this week, which means a lot of time spent in pajamas. This morning I told Reagan that since she has been in the same pajamas for at least two days, she really needed to go get dressed. She came back out dressed ... in a different nightgown. One point to Monkey Three.

Caretaker
I ate something that didn't agree with me, so Lillie decided to take over. She tucked me into bed with a hot pack for my tummy and told me she would make sure the other two kids didn't burn the house down. What a responsible 10 year old. ☺

The Theology of a Three-Year-Old
I just remembered a conversation I had with my son when he was about three about his Creator. I asked him one day if he knew who made him and he replied, "Yep. The Bone-Guy made me. With tape and string." I've got some questions for that Bone Guy...

"Good Job."
Lillie stood up to give a few words in church today. There is a paper on the podium that reminds you to give your name when you speak, so she very thoughtfully followed the instructions. "For those of you who don't know me, I'm Lillie Talbot. For those of you who do, good job!" I mean, I guess you deserve to be congratulated for knowing my kid. It's such a privilege.
