Been a while since I have been able to post one of these (mainly because I have been having a ton of 'em and no time to blog!)
But, sometimes the Perfect Moments are from the not-so-perfect (or decent) times:
Moment #1: Last night we had company over and we were all sitting down for dinner. We had an unexpected additional person show up, so the my son offered to have my daughter sit on his lap (actually they shared the chair). Everything was going along well, until we saw the monkey-see-monkey-do going on--my son would pick up his corn on the cob and eat; my daughter would pick up her corn on the cob and eat; my son would take a drink of milk; my daughter would take a drink of milk; my son would stick his finger up his nose and play around being silly; my daughter would stick her finger up her nose--and they would both giggle incessantly. And while dad was expressing his displeasure at the rude behavior at the dinner table--inside I was laughing over the interactions of my children.
Moment #2: She is sort-of on her way to potty training (in fact she did both types on Saturday morning--but nothing since then). On Sunday, she wanted to sit down on the potty. I took her diaper off, she was wearing a dress, she sat and sat. And then got bored. And as I was about to get her diaper, she wanted to play--I thought no harm--if she seems to need to do something, the chair is just there---so she precedes to run around and around me (as she has insisted that I sit down on the kitchen floor). At one point, I am thinking--"Yeah, I better get up and get her diaper on" and as I think this, she stands right behind me and liquid can be felt on my backside and on the floor...and yet...I am not mad, but chuckle and go get the diaper.

I'm with you on Moment #1.
You amaze me with your ability to see the perfection in Moment #2, though. I could take lessons from you!
I'm with Lavender Luz. Perfect might not be my first thought. But...
No. 1 is great. And what a good reminder. I don't have kids in the house so I forget about some of the simple, fun, teasing ways we all connect. I'm gonna play monkey-see-monkey-do sometime this week.
Thanks for the reminder.
It isn't necessarily rude if it's cute.. right? right? what adoration the girl has for her brother :)
