Husband calls me into the bathroom where he is giving the girls a bath.
Husband: “Look at Ellie.”
Ellie has bright red cheeks, sweat running down her face and every part under the water has turned red.
Husband: “I think I made the water too hot.”
Me: “She looks like a baboon.”
Gracie: “I’m cold.”

Ellie: “You must eat lots and lots of food to get big and strong. Not lots of candy. If you eat lots of candy you will not get big and strong. You will get big and sick. But ice cream isn’t candy. Its food.”
That’s great. Food issues at 4.

Watch the master at work:
Me: “Gracie did you hit Ellie?”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Did you hit her?”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Are you sure?”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Ellie said you hit her.”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Are you telling the truth?
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Are you lying?”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Do you need discipline?”
Grace: “No.”
Me: “Do you want to tell Mama what happened?”
Grace: “No. But I love you, Mommy, so so so much. You are so pretty. I want to give you a kiss and a big hug! I loooooove youuuuuuu!!!”
