Viewing the World Through Children's Eyes

My daughter (3) took a shower this morning. When she got out, she exclaimed, "Mom! The shower is all wet!" Once I stopped laughing and asked her more about it, I learned she was concerned her baby brother would go in and get his feet all wet. How sweet and wondrous at the same time. Yesterday, she cut her bangs. VERY short. I laughed, asked her not to do it again and then looked at her baby brother with his amazing strawberry blond hair and curls. Then I politely asked her not to cut his hair. EVER. I may never be allowed to have his hair this long again. So I am postponing the first haircut for as long as possible.
On the other hand, her older sister (5) has a new catch phrase: "Mom! I have a great idea. Let's..." She is learning the art of persuasion early. Maybe she will be a consultant or lawyer. Right now, she wants to be an artist like her Aunt Heather. That would be FABULOUS. Aunt Heather is super talented. Other days, she watches the Foot Network and then turns to me and says "Let's make that..". Some day she will realize I am no Paula Deen.
My one year old just repeats "mama" all day long. Which, of course, is a synonym for "gimme".
