so today i was driving in the car with all three of the kids when i had the funniest conversation with lily –<\/p>\n

lily:”mom are you going to have any more kids?”
me: “i don’t think so!”
lily: “why not?”
me: “don’t you think 3 babies is enough?”
then she thoughtfully ponders for a couple of minutes and finally says “mom, i only want one baby when i grow up!”
me: ” how come?”
lily: “because if i have three it will be too loud all of the time.”
me: “are you guys loud all of the time?”
lily: quietly says “yes” then she adds “i just want it to be quiet when i try to use the phone.”
do you think she has heard me say quiet one to many times when i am on the phone? i just think she is so funny.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

another conversation <\/span>
the other night after a rough day i layed down with her in bed and had a talk with her about listening and not talking back to mommy.<\/p>\n

me: “i promise to try my best not to get so frustrated if you will promise to try and listen and not talk back to me.”
lily: “i’ll try better.”
me: “do you talk back to your teachers? do you listen to them?”
lily: “of course i do!”
me: “why don’t you do that for me?”
lily: “mom, i spend a lot more time with you so it’s harder.”<\/p>\n

i thought that was very insightful for a 4 year old. i love you lily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
