The Kid Whisperer

The best part of Easter:

Watching Laura expertly convince my grouchy granddaughter to eat some applesauce by gently singing a pretty song. It goes something like this:

Oh, do you know the muffin man? *bite*
The muffin man, *bite*
The muffin man? *bite*

Umm, yeah. If I am ever threatening to jump off a bridge, I hope Laura is there to sing me down!

The things we are willing to do to get our kids to eat!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

I still have those pictures Michaela drew for Ava. I was putting them in an envelope when she informed me that they "were not completely finished, you know!"....OH, the attitude! When her Highness decides they are officially complete, I will send them along.

Avery loves that song! There have been days I have sung it over 20 times, that day I needed to be talked down from the bridge. Laura is such a sweet momma!

Hi Kim, I would love for you to use it on your blog! That means a lot to me! I really, really hope we can change the way people use the "r" word.You are so kind. I'm so glad we can be a part of each other's lives this way. Blogging is great! When your comment showed up I tried to reply to it but then realized I can't do that so this was the only way I knew to reach you. I'm still learning! :)
