I'm absolutely going to steal Devra's clever response to an impatient child. When Ellis asks for something Devra says "Standby." She's teaching Ellis to say "Roger that." They did this a couple times today & it cracked me up. Devra is NEVER short on clever words. The girl seriously makes me smile & often.
This morning we hooked up with the kids. You can't see Cara but she was there too. You can't see me either but I'm there. Promise. I have to say that for myself this is a rare sighting. We have three toddlers & one infant in relatively calm dispositions all at once. Devra was reading about Noah & the girls were surprisingly engaged. They also played so well together all morning. Ellis received a cool play house for her birthday. With a little intervention they all three enjoyed a tea party. And get this.
The adults were able to exchange words in full sentences among themselves.
