Glasses....The Fountain of Youth!

A couple of weeks ago I had an eye doctor appointment for just a normal checkup and I also wanted to get a pair of new frames. Sydney came along with me and being that she is 4 years old, about 400 questions were asked. Like all parents of 4 year olds, the depth and the detail of questions they ask certainly become head scratchers and you feel like you need a degree in philosophy to answer simply and properly. So after being asked why I needed to see the doctor, I told her I was getting older and my eyes didn't work as good and that I couldn't see things far away. Well today she asked again why I was getting older. I just explained that I had another birthday and you get older each time you have a birthday. Had to explain that she is 4 and she will be older when she turns 5 at her next birthday..yada yada yada. She simply said for me to put on my glasses and then I will be younger again. :)

I really wish it was that simple!

I make Olives

A couple of nights ago I made Sydney's ultimate favorite meal...spaghetti. I've never been thanked and hugged so much within a minute of telling her what we were having for dinner. Along with the meal was garlic bread and just our normal standard side of vegetables....salad with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and olives. After dinner was over, Sydney again thanked me for making spaghetti. And Keaton chimed in and thanked me for making olives. :)
