Basic Mom Week in Review - 04/30/17

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. While at the library, my 3-year-old asked if she could get a book about gymnastics. I pointed her toward the gymnastics section, and she brought this back to me: 

Lesson: I already knew she couldn't read, but now I'm also questioning whether my 3-year-old can see.

2. This exchange while I was doing my 3-year-old's hair:

Me: You have really good hair, you know that?

3-Year-Old: Mmhmm. And really good eyes.

Meanwhile, me when someone gives me a compliment:

Lesson: If only we could all have the confidence of a 3-year-old.

3. My 8-year-old made this amazing card for her BFF's Harry Potter-themed birthday party:

Lesson: I kinda want to be my daughter's BFF.

4. My kids started playing this new game called Cuddles in which my 8-year-old ties a leash around my 3-year-old and my 3-year-old pretends to be a dog named Cuddles.

This is how I found "Cuddles" after I asked my 8-year-old to take a break from playing to do her homework:

Lesson: At least my 8-year-old is a responsible pet owner.

5. This week's theme at my daughter's preschool was Pets. For her song project, my 3-year-old told her teacher that she wants a pet dog named Pizza.

Lesson: To be fair, Cuddles was already taken.
