Out of the mouth of babes

I am almost a week slow doing this! As we were pulling into the church parking lot last week (late), Kjerstin asked if we were late.  Daven responded, "We are ALWAYS late."  Out of the mouths of babes.  Speaking of out of the mouths of babes, it is a good thing I don't get my self esteem from my kids.  Sometimes it can be tempting like when Daven tells me I look beautiful or that he loves me.  He can be so sweet.  Daven has school Monday through Thursday and LOVES it.  He comes home and puppets the rules his teacher tells him and sings me the songs he learns.  He is really loving being big enough to go to school.  Last Friday he didn't have school.  I tried to make it exciting we went to run some errands and went to the library and to the park.  I was still told that it was the worst day of his life.  He asked how many more days until he could go back to school.  I AM NOT EXCITING!  Gideon wanders around from room to room while Daven is at school saying in a very sad voice, "Daven's gone."  I try to be exciting.  But is it also nap time while Daven is gone.  That makes me even more of an enemy.  He doesn't want to take a nap and I want him to take one.  He is not too fond of me during the day.  I don't get the lovey "Mom is the best" feeling.  It is a good thing I don't get my self esteem from my kids! It is once again Friday.  We are going to the library again then off to Costco.  They boys like the samples from Costco so hopefully it won't be a strike out day for me.  There is some mopping I need to do though.  Maybe if I tap dance while I mop that will be entertaining?
