We had a very lovely Superbowl party, complete with football cake. If only the game had lived up to the loveliness of our party. I almost can't enjoy myself when one team gets so thoroughly whooped.
Ry made me laugh today. I love it when my large vocabulary pops out of his mouth. Today, he kept asking me if he was "asponsible." I would explain what responsible means. Then he would tell me why being responsible means you get to eat marshmallows at dinner. I tried to explain that was directly opposite the meaning of responsible. He wasn't buying it. If he was going to take charge of his shoes, feeding the cat, and not dumping water on his brother, then he expected a fluffy, sugary reward for his efforts.
I felt icky today, so less effort. However, as I stumbled through the day, I figured out which of my tasks have become important to me. (The Calorie one is a cheat, though. I had no appetite, so I lucked into that one - I still hate dieting.) Also, I noticed that my children are beginning to anticipate the clean-up and bedtime routines. Success!
