I hope the mixture of my posts on blogging, making money online, working from home and being a dad will be a good enough mix to keep everyone coming back for more tips, ideas and stories.
I guess I had better describe my daughters as I see them today. Both girls attend a Montessori school and have never had to stay at a daycare. I’ve watched them practically every day of their lives. I take them to school, have lunch with them most days and pick them up from school. They are very active and currently are involved in dance, gymnastics, piano and tennis.
My oldest daughter is now six. She is very bright and can read practically anything that is placed in front of her. She’s kind, quiet, shy and a bit reserved. She loves bread and butter but hates ice cream. She doesn’t so much like to be hugged or kissed but she’s becomes very sad when we are away. She learns quickly and remembers everything. She rarely get into trouble and knows that doing certain things will get her in trouble. She does not push the envelope.
My youngest daughter is four going on twenty four. She is happy, lovable, outgoing and very rambunctious. She’s smart but is not so much interested in learning. She loves to play, make up things and collects everything. She wants everything now and becomes very clingy to a new item until a replacement comes along. She loves to hug and kiss but has no problem waving good-bye to us when we leave. She loves sweets and is picky about everything else. She pushes the envelope on everything and gets into trouble daily.
Today was a great example of one of my four-year-olds memorable quotes. We were driving home from picking up Hostess Cup Cakes for breakfast, (her favorite at the moment) and we began talking about the clouds and the rain we had just experienced. Without ever having heard her use this word before, my four-year-old says, “I’m assuming the water that comes from clouds is pee.” I chuckled like I always do and thanked the Lord again for giving me such wacky girls.
They bring a smile to my face every morning and I greet them with a big hello and a morning hug. They are by far the coolest things I have ever created.
