Just a place to talk to myself

Little things that made me laugh

Its been a long time since I've lived in a house with little ones. I'm staying at my Aunt and Uncle's before my internship starts (ON THE 9TH!) and with my little cousins Eliza and Magdalena. They are the inspiration for the three things that made me laugh today. First Magda started unsnapping her mothers shirt to which Anna Maria promptly replied "It is not polite to remove other people's clothing." If only everyone's mother had taught them this simple lesson. Second Anna Maria shared with me what a confidence booster potty training is for a mother. She told me I celebrate when they go to the bathroom and soon they started clapping whenever I pee. "yea Mommy you went pee." She said, "I feel great all I have to do is eat and go to the bathroom and I have a cheering section." Thirdly Magda had the flu today. She puked 3 times and went through exactly three sets of clothes blankets and baths. She fell asleep on a chair with her adorable little head in a trash bucket just in case. After all this she still insisted on eating a pear for dinner. She sat at the dinner table with the rest of us, but inbetween bites she leaned over her little trash bucket waiting to see what would come up. You can't help but laugh when you're trying to carry on a conversation about Christian values, and eat your soup while the little girl next to you is alternately eating and leaning over a bucket, eating and leaning. Pears don't smell as fruity the second time around.
