Basic Mom Week in Review - 09/18/17

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

1. My 4-year-old drew a picture of me "in my bathing suit" on the iPad:

Lesson: Nailed it.

2. I told my 4-year-old that she couldn't wear her new boots to school because she can't tie them herself. After several minutes of bargaining through tears, she started screaming, 

"I can't live like this!"

Lesson: You and me both, kid.

3. This scene at my cousin's wedding:

4-Year-Old: [picks up water bottle]

Me: Is that your water bottle?

4-Year-Old: I think it's mine.

4-Year-Old: [uncaps water bottle and sniffs it]

4-Year-Old: It does't smell like mine.

Lesson: My daughter is part canine (and all weird).

4. My husband was talking about getting his wisdom teeth out, and my 4-year-old told him, 

"You're probably gonna have to chew on a Band-Aid."

Lesson: That's an interesting look into how my 4-year-old's brain works, but the thought of chewing on a Band-Aid is horrifying.
