Reason #573 that I love being a stay-at-home-mother
Can you start a list at #573? Oh well, it doesn’t matter.
I have about 100 things that I should be doing right now, but instead, I’m writing this little insignificant story.
We were walking home from Nicole’s bus and she was talking about something (I can’t even remember what—it might have been about how she likes to splash in puddles in her boots) but she stopped mid-sentence to exclaim that she had found a rock for Nicole. When we got to our house she ran off towards our truck while I helped Ila and Thomas come in the house. Apparently, her rock needed a special leaf to go with it.
After lunch she proclaimed: “The rock needs to take a bath with the leaf.” The she proceeded to bathe the rock and leaf in the bathroom sink. I could hear her saying things like: “the rock is so happy to have a bath so it can be nice and clean” and “now the rock and the leaf need a bubble bath.” An hour later, she is still bathing her rock and her leaf.
It’s not a particularly unique or interesting story, but I love all the silly little moments in my day where my girls show their personalities and get excited about their goofy ideas.
Now back to those 100 things I have to do.
