This morning Taylor came to me with a sad look on her face wondering why she hadn't been fed yet. I asked her if she wanted waffles, toast, eggs... TOAST! Okay, in the toaster goes the bread. The toaster finishes, add some butter, cut off the crust, fold it in half (just the way Ryan told me she likes it) and off she goes with the toast on a plate to watch some cartoons. A minute later she comes back and hands me the toast. A few minutes after that she convinces Ryan to help her. I hear, "You want some toast" from the other room. The toaster sounds, Ryan butters it, cuts the crust off, folds it in half and... she eats the entire thing. Really? I still don't know what exactly I did wrong, but then I decided I could take it two ways. I could be hurt that she doesn't like how I fix toast or I can realize that I now have one less thing "I" am in charge of in the mornings :)
For Christmas, we decided to give each of our kids a shirt of a Super Hero that we thought was most like them. Jena received Batman. She likes to party and stay up late... seriously as late as she can go. She likes to be in charge. She loves to be a detective and solve mysteries. She is very devoted to her family and closest friends and also LOVES Batman. Taylor received Spiderman. Mostly because she is an amazing climber and quite fearless. Sometimes it seems she can even stick to the walls and get to places you'd think she couldn't. She likes to make people happy and laugh. She is the hardest to photograph and might remain that way unless she decides to do it herself :)
Cody received Ironman. Our little sweetie loves to laugh and smile at all the ladies... I guess that's what happens when you spend all day with mommy and your sisters. He is a solid little man and after holding him for a while it's seems he might just be made of iron.
