Calling Us on It

This weekend is Stake Conference for our church.  That is a time when all of the congregations in a designated geographical area get together for a combined worship service.  There is usually an adult meeting on Saturday night and a family meeting on Sunday.  Since we didn't have a babysitter, I went to the adult meeting last night by myself while Dave stayed home with the kids.  This morning, Isaac woke up, ran up to me, gave me a big hug, and then got the most serious/scolding look on his face and said, "Mommy - why you go to church without me?"  It made me smile!

We've been potty training commando-style for the last week and a half, and they've done great!  But now we are trying to transition and still get them to keep going potty while wearing underwear. This morning after playing around and giving morning hugs and playful "spankings" from Daddy, Dave said with all the excitement of a five-year-old on Christmas morning, "Today, we are going to try wearing underwear!  Won't that be fun?"  Isaac didn't miss a beat - he walked right up to Dave, laughing, put his hands on either side of Dave's face, got right up to where his nose was almost touching Dave's nose and said, "Daddy!  You too big!"  Silly Daddy -- I guess "we" won't be trying to wear underwear today after all! ;-D

Sometimes it's Isaac and sometimes it's Abby, but either way it's certain that one or the other of them will call us on our actions and words.  Sometimes we're right, but sometimes they are.  And all times they amaze me with how quickly their little brains assess and respond to any given situation!
