I had to comment on Bobbi's comment...she said, "Wait til you take your kids to Disneyland. You'll cry." We've been telling the twins that we are going to take them to Disneyland when they turn 5. Lane will get to go at 3. It's part of Brant's master parenting plan. When I talk about my goals for the kids, I'm worried about their academic pursuits and he wants to make sure they get to Disneyland every 5 years. He said that he's planning on taking them when they turn 5, 10, 15, and for one last time--when they're 20. I guess we make a good mix of parenting...my kids would hate me if I were in charge of everything. I can tend to be so boring.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine brought her barely 4 year old over to play with the twins. Madison asked how old he was and he said (mistakenly) that he was 5. Madison so, "Oh, are you going to Disneyland?" It was funny--just how much that little girl remembers things we tell her. Yesterday, she told Porter, "Be nice to me--I'm the only sister you have." Way to milk it, Madi.

That is so cute. Smart thinking Madi.
It reminds me of time once. We were at Ron's nephews Eagle court of Honor. At the part where they ask for all the eagles to come sit in the eagles nest, this little boy is trying to get his dad to go up. His dad keeps saying I can't. Then the little boy turns to his mom and says, "mom, why won't dad go sit in the eagle's nest?" She says, because he didn't get his eagle. The little boy pondered for a few seconds and then said, "but how can he drive then?" It was so cute. They were sitting right in front us.
