Literally speaking

If you haven't read the previous post, you should do so before reading this. Somehow, it will only make this funnier.

It's like Jenae's been studying the dictionary lately. She knows her words and she knows what they mean and when to use them. Our conversation:

Me: "Jenae! Be gentle with your sister."

Jenae: "I am."

M: "Be careful. Don't hurt her." (as she overwhelms Avery with her Love)

J: "I'm not hurting her."

M: "Jenae, don't poke her ear!"

J: "I'm not poking it. I'm pulling it!"

Okay, well, continue then! ahhhh! What am I going to do with this child?!

Keeping it Real!

I'm so far behind (again) I'm not sure where to start! So to avoid all the posts that I should be doing....you know...Santa pics, Christmas morning, all the extended family...I'll just jump back in with a story from this morning.

We've been trying to reduce Jenae's sugar intake in a effort to help correct some "attitude" problems we'd encountered. It really has been helping, yet one of our biggest struggles continues to be with how much juice she drinks.

This morning she went to Jordan to ask for some juice...I wasn't there, but I hear it went a little something like this:

Jenae: I want juice, Daddy.
Daddy: No, Jenae.
J: YES!
D: No, Jenae. No juice.
J: YES! YES!
D: Jenae, don't yell at me.
J: I'm not yelling. I'm whining.

There ya go!! We may not know all our ABC's but we know the difference between yelling and whining!

Bring it on 2009!
