Things I learned today

Some things I learned from my kids today are...

~to stop and smell the roses... and the tulips, and the wisteria, and the ivy, and the broken pieces of brick lying on the ground.

~that there's no sense trying to understand Jane when she asks for something and then adamantly refuses it, asks for it and refuses, over and over and over again.

~that the steps to one of the local synagogues are the actual steps where Cinderella lost her glass slipper.

~that getting a fat lip from trying to put Jane's pajamas on her should not be my primary motive for letting her wear her dress to bed.
