Father’s Day

This morning I woke up to presents from the family. Bekah handed me a bag, and then took the liberty to take everything out for me to see.

For an early present, my wife gave me a grill. Now my girls gave meacessories for me to use while I grill.

On another note, I was pulled over today for not wearing my seatbelt. I took it off in order to reach and grab something at a red light. Then it turned green. So I continued on

The Corner

Every parent uses their own methods to teach their children responsibility, right and wrong, and consequences for actions.

One method we use for Bekah is time-out / standing in the corner. Often this is a light punishment geared towards stopping and resetting. We have her count to "20" while standing in the corner. It usually involves "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 20" and then a peak to see if we are looking.

Sometimes she says every number and counts all the way to "30".

Well, after our session this evening, Bekah counted through it and was done.

Rachael apparently saw her and followed by voluntarily standing in the corner and saying "dah, dah, dah" and then peeking to see if we were watching.

It was quite funny. Which led to a laugh. Which led her to repeating herself.

Reading Princess and the Kiss

I'm reading a book in bed with Rebekah: The Princess and the Kiss. She likes being read to... and hiding under the covers.

I'm going through the second time with her. She doesn't like the second suitor, the romantic one. I'm not sure why exactly.

Falling Asleep

She was so tired. We've been trying to limit how often she gets to have her passie. So sleeping has been different the last few days. She refuses to go to sleep. So this is what we end up with.

Jumping Pile

We raked leaves today in the front yard. I gave Bekah a little rake and I had a big rake. She enjoyed moving the leaves around for about ten minutes.

Then she saw the pile of leaves that started to form. Down went the rake.

Leg Artist

Bekah decided to draw today. We were having a good time. But the moment that I look away is the moment that she became the most creative.

I look up and she says "oh wow" and points to her legs.

We're still working on what to draw on and what NOT to draw on.

Tattle Tell

I tried to take some of Bekah's french fries today during lunch. She usually shares.
But this time, she said "No, no". Then she looked towards the hallway and said "Mama, mama!"

She was tattling on me!
