So begins my journey . .

At the urging of a few faithful friends, I have decided to begin blogging about the things that only happen in my world . . .
And to start it all, the most recent life lesson in J's world.
After getting home from the OSS Christmas party, we were trying to get the girls wound back down from having an evening of fun playing at Leonardo's. K was reading to A in her room and J was nowhere to be found. I wandered into the living room to see if I could find her. She saw me and started to slowly walk my way with her hand behind her back. Now for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of a 3 year old who is a little sassy and trying to get some attention, the hand behind the back is a sign that you are about to get upset with your child!
I asked her what she had, her response was "Mommy you didn't get me my bitamins(vitamins)" She held her hand out to me and showed me that she had her vitamins in her hand!!! Little Turkey!!! I left the bag with our meds for our trip out where she could reach it and she opened the child proof vitamin bottle! Hello, those are supposed to be CHILD PROOF!!
K and I explained that if you take more medicine than you are supposed to, you have to go to the hospital. As K tried to think of a consequence at the hospital that might make J rethink getting into the vitamins, A chimed in with "They will take you apart at the hospital!" J's eyes got really wide and scared. K had to tell her they wouldn't take her apart but she might have to get a shot. That got her attention even more that A's comment!
I hate using shots as a scare tactic but a mom's gotta do . . .

Wow, that ended up being a little longer than I anticipated! I am off to finish up a few Christmas presents before I cant keep my eyes open any longer . . . bear with me as I try to figure this whole blogging thing out and don't think too poorly of me if I misspell a word or two or make little to no sense. It will all come together in the end!!
