She daydreamed about me running in my school's 1-mile fun run

Not my future Olympic running feats, just my first fun run. ~Harrison (6 years old)

She got a new job

Seems like good news to us, but... ~Hiatt (4 years old) and Sutton (2 years old)

I set the table

As I usually do... ~Hewitt (4 years old)

I told my sister that I love her

My older sister was rude to me, so I smiled, walked towards her, tried to hug and kiss her, and said, "Tula, I love you no matter what." ~Pixie (4 years old)

I told my brother to apologize / I apologized

I told my little brother, "You need to apologize or else your heart will feel sick" (not in a spiteful "I'm-your-big-brother-so-apologize-to-me" way but more an "I'm-your-big-brother-and-I'm-just-telling-you-something-I've-learned" way). ~Harrison (6 years old) I apologized. ~Hewitt (4 years old)

We got excited when our little brother used the potty

We yelled "Mom! We need a jellybean!! Hurry!!!" when our little brother went poo in the potty one night before bathtime. And then the three of us (naked...) waited for her at the top of the stairs, celebrating "our" accomplishment. ~Harrison (6 years old) and Hewitt (4 years old)

I asked for a cookie

Sure, it was the 10th time I had asked "My try this? My eat this?" but I genuinely believed that this time she would answer differently. And perhaps some of her watery eyes were from the this-is-the-definition-of-insanity feeling she had. Don't feel bad for me, though -- I had already had one cookie at that point and sweet-talked two more out of her before the end of the day. ~Heath (2 years old) (aka "Little My")

I was walking in front of her

Skipping a little bit, too. ~Lily (4 years old)

I sang to her

She was singing to me while she rocked me to sleep, so I harmonized (terribly...). ~Holden (1 year old)

I explained helium to her

And I'm still not sure she understood me. ~Hiatt (4 years old)

I asked her to play with me

And the wind was blowing my curls around. She was done for! ~Sutton (2 years old)

She watched a movie preview

Not the actual movie. Just the preview. ~Maggie (2 years old)

I'll be too long for my infant carseat soon

Same thing happened to my two older sisters, so this is should not be an unexpected event. ~Poppy (1 year old)

She got a Christmas card

From our elderly neighbor who moved away a few months ago. ~Harrison (6 years old), Hewitt (4 years old), and Heath (2 years old)

I wrapped up the blessing at dinner with "Pass-to-Heath-AMEN!"

Which is my typical closing. ~Heath (2 years old)

I have a loose tooth

It's not even my first loose tooth -- I've already lost two! ~Harrison (6 years old)
