Oh how they are different

I consider myself to be able to catch on to most things rather quickly. But I am being a bit of a dunce with the girls. But my guess here is that it is more about what is easier than what is my new reality.

Caroline is a quiet kid. She is happy to sit and read or do other quiet things on her own. Now Grace is doing the independent play pretty well, but she is a bit more labor intensive. I HAVE to learn that if it is quiet for too long there is something up.

Last night, I was making dinner and all seemed well. But Grace had discovered crayons earlier in the day. Everything was quiet . . . I was about to call all to the table . . . and I finally realized what the small noise I was hearing was . . .

It was Grace's new mural on the dining room and hallway walls.

At least she wanted to help clean too. Thank goodness for Mr Clean Magic Erasers.
