This weekend we were at my cousin's house for her youngest's first birthday. In the middle of the afternoon, I was in the living room with most of the other adults chit chatting. I see my sister's kids (ages 4 and 9), my two (ages 3 and 4), and my cousin's oldest (age 5) fly past into the kitchen. I can hear the ice machine grinding away, so I knew they were all getting drinks. I considered getting up and going in there because I knew there were 2 Liter bottles of soda on the counter, but decided to let it slide. As they all came out of the kitchen, my sister's kids and my cousin's girl all had soda in their cups. My daughter walked by with ice water and my son marched by munching on a cup of ice.
Score one for Mama! I was so proud, I almost burst!
