I remember this...

I little while ago I cleaned out the girls closet.  Aubrey was going through the pile I was getting rid of.  She keep holding things up and saying... " I remember this... when I was 4, when we were at Grandma's, and such." Well one of the shirts she held up and said, " I remember this shirt, it was when you didn't yell at us!" After I got over the shock of what she just said. I told her, "Oh, I remember that too.  It was when you use to listen to me.  Maybe we should both try harder."

Thanks, Aubrey, for calling me out on that!

Trash...

Julia - with her hand stretched out with trash in it -  "Here.."

Aubrey - "I am not a mom!"  - and refused to take the trash.

I am afraid of what Aubrey's opinion of what a MOM is.  Nose wiping, trash taking, laundry doing, food cooking... but she is leaving out the hug catcher,  kiss getting and the kid snuggler.  I will admit that sometime I forget and leave those out also.
