Megan the problem solver:Yesterday Megan wanted some chips for a snack. Trying to encourage a healthier snack first I talked her into eating an apple. I cut up the apple and placed some in a bowl for her. I told her when her apple was gone she could have some chips. Then I went to read the paper in the other room. A few minutes later she came in and showed me her empty bowl.
Megan: Look mom I'm done.
Mom: Oh, good job Megan. [I get up to go get her some chips]
Megan: But, don't look in the garbage.
Mom: [I put the bag of chips back in the cupboard after discovering Megan's uneaten apples in the garbage.]
Megan the observant:
While we were at gymnastics yesterday a mom sitting behind us got mad at her little girl. Evidently the little girl had made a mess after her mom had asked her repeatedly to not make a mess. Sounds familiar. She raised her voice a little and told her daughter to go get a paper towel to clean it up. Megan was sitting on my lap looking behind and witnessing the whole event while I tried to mind my own business.
Megan: Mom, [pointing behind us and saying something unintelligble, though I know she was speaking about what just transpired behind us]
Mom: What Megan?
Megan: [grabbing my face and turning it around to look] That mom is mad at her sweetie.
Megan the leader
While walking up the stairs yesterday...
Megan: Mom, I'm the boss.
Mom: No, Megan you are most defnitely the boss.
Megan: Uh huh!
Megan the fashion critic:
Megan: You look ugly mom.
Mom:[after changing my shirt] Does that look better?
Megan: Yeah, you look pretty now.
Last, but not least,
Megan the daughter who needs her mommy
Megan: [walking up to me at the computer] Do you want to play mom?
Mom: Just a minute Megan.
Megan: I hate that puter.
That is why I will not be around as much, or at least try to spend less time at the "puter" and more time with my precious little ones.

What a sweetheart. Kids are so honest--"don't look in the garbage".
By the way, is it now "Country Music Thursday"???
She is a crack up! How funny about the apples in the garbage Kids just aren't very good liars.
How great that you've written all these down. My boys have done really cute stuff this past week, and I didn't write it down and now I can't remember! :(
I'll miss you. Hopefully we'll still see a little of you on the "puter"! :)
Awww. Sometimes my kids hate the puter too. It's a balancing act, isn't it?
Kids just have this great way of letting us know what is important. I especially liked that she noticed the mom who was mad at her sweetie. That is just precious.
I hate the puter too sometimes. I know I allow it to suck too much of my time, but it's soooo addicting! I. Can't. Stop. Must. Blog. :)

Now I know in conference I heard something about daily journaling about all the daily good things that come our way. Glad you got this stuff written down ;)
She sounds a lot like my Fat Melody. We have a love/hate relationship. She tells me she loves me when I'm giving her what she wants and she says "me no love you anymore" when I tell her, 'NO!'
