My Little Mother

1. When I dropped Rebecca off at preschool this morning she took off her coat, presented herself in front of her teacher, and said, "Lindsay! Look at my outfit!" Then she turned to one of her classmates and said, "Oh, let me see your outfit!"

2. Tonight to save time I put the kids in the bathtub together. I usually don't do this, preferring instead to bathe them each on alternating nights, but we'd somehow gotten behind on our bath schedule and I didn't feel like doing two consecutive bath time routines. Rebecca picked up a wash cloth and started scrubbing away at Ben's head with it. Ben turned to me and said, "Aww, she's so cute. She's like a little mother!"
