Wake up with big ideas of getting the house whipped into shape for dinner guests and have THAT be the day the toddler can NOT do anything on her own (ie, watch 30 minutes of Dora without moving and don't pretend you've never done it).
My fingers were prunes from all of the hand washing I did after the 5000 announcements, "I'M DONE!" from the bathroom. Holy cow this child's kidneys work great.
Her 2nd set of clothes were hanging by the aga to dry (don't ask) and the floor was cleared of the dish soap, sudsy mess when I plopped in front of the computer out of desperation to do at least ONE thing without being
interrupted.In she saunters...
"I can't finish my soup mumblemumblesmumblebig".
I give her my undivided attention, "What?"
"I can't finish my soup because my bottom is getting big".
Oh.
Maybe that's my problem. Too much soup.
As much as I chase this little girl around, you'd think I'd be a twig, but apparently it's the soup that has been sabotaging me!
Dear Hubby, forget the chicken stew/soup on the cooker, we're having something else tonight.
My goodness, who would have thought such an absolutely adorable, beautiful little girl as this little angel, would be actually sitting on such an enormous bum??? HAAAAAAAA!
ReplyDeleteAt least we know the culprit tho', eh? Yup, soup is evil.
I have a list of chores I must,must, must get round today, which is why of course, I'm sitting here reading your post (sighhh).
Aw... The poor thing... :) Another cute post. :) Those days when you really have tons of stuff to do, you always seem to find other things, better, and more interesting things to focus on, don't you? I so know that feeling.
ReplyDeleteTake care/ Jo.
We had soup last night and now you tell me ?! It's a good thing you've cropped her pix so carefully to cut out that big bottom. You're a kind mom.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Kids say the strangest thing--it just keeps us constantly off-balance.
ReplyDeleteSo good to know the secret! Now I can stop worrying about the girl scout cookies and ice cream. :)
ReplyDeleteThink how much you'll miss chasing her in a few years.
LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course youngest does not have body issues... by "bigger bottom" she must mean she was full. Right? Or just scamming you?
Oh please don't let it be body issues. That must wait until she's eight!
It just would have meant another trip to the bathroom for both of you had she finished. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL...It's a good thing she's so stinkin' gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePoor dear...such trauma! I don't have those kind of days now...and I am truly thankful. Don't miss them at all. Hopefully you will totally enjoy your evening!!

Lol! That is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is beautiful!
WHAT!! It's the soup? You mean it is the soup that causes that and not the chocolate?! Dang, all this time, I've been trying to stay away from the chocolate and eat more vegetable soup. Well no more of that! Pass the chocolate!! :D
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh again. Gorgeous picture of your daughter. Hope you have a wonderful day!
I have one of those too. Will happily sit still for hours or proclaim 'I can do it!' if I'm doing nothing but as soon as I need to do something for myself, she becomes completely incapacitated. Ugh, kids...gotta love 'em.
ReplyDeleteThose days drain the life out of me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling photo!!!
ReplyDeleteSoup huh? Who'd of thunk it?
She's too cute!
