Top Five--February 2008

5--Compliments to my niece, Sarah, for the following:
SarahL:“I would never, EVER go to Springville High School, because they are the ‘Devils.’”
Me: Where are you going to go to high school, then?
SarahL: Hmmmmmmmmm. I think maybe High School Musical.
Yep, you and every other girl between the age of 8-14.

4--Adam starting solids: all of the other kids seem to be handling it okay. Back in the day when Isaac started solids, Kye yarfed every time he watched Isaac eat. Not kidding. Sooooooooo glad we’re past that now.

3-- Isaac will only eat green beans by opening them, eating the seeds first, then the shell. It’s very labor intensive. Dinner lasts for hours. . . and hours.

2--Kye: Is this strawberry yogurt made out of pig?

1--Lucy LOVES to read. That shouldn’t be a surprise . . . I am her mother after all. Every day she’s inspired to start a new business that she’s read about in a book. (I mean, c’mon, how many of you wanted to start a babysitting business when reading “The Babysitter’s Club”?) Her latest idea, based on the Jigsaw Jones series: A detective service. While cleaning through her notebook, I found the following:

DETECTIVE SERVICE
JUST A DOLLAR A DAY TO MAKE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS GO AWAY
(Page 2)

Detective Needs—detective journal, detective kit, mistereys (sic), practices, sines (sic)

Looks like she's on her way. My little girl is growing up, solving all the mysteries in our house and neighborhood. Watch out world, here she comes!
