Cutting the Umbilical Cord

Going along with something we were discussing earlier in the thread...I had a really cute overall/shortall outfit picked out for the toddler this morning, and she had other ideas, and went to the sitters in pink flannel pajama bottoms and a purple t-shirt. I did, however, convince her to wear her sandals instead of her "clap shoes" (they're really just white dress shoes, but the older girls at the babysitters have tap shoes, so that's what she thinks they are) because they were tearing her feet up, since she wouldn't wear socks/tights with them.

Hey- at least she has flair!

My son just about lost it when I explained that his new school has a dress code and he will have to wear blue pants/shorts and a solid color polo-type shirt every day. He said he's not ready to give up his spiderman tee shirts yet. One more week!

Everytime Mariana sees something Spiderman, she yells "Mommy, Baby John likes that Spiderman". I always quietly think to myself that he's 9 months old, he has no idea who or what Spiderman is.

And one more cute Spiderman story...there was a woman who ran a "Children's Church" between services at my church, and she would take prayer requests from the kids...please pray for my dog/grandma/sister/mom/dad/etc. Well, she got to her own son, and he proudly said "I want to pray for Spiderman...".
