Squeeze Me

The other day, we were trying to leave the house and for those of you who have a two or three year old, you know how difficult it is to leave the house. I think on average, I say "come on, Katie" 2 dozen times per day, at least. Putting shoes on, brushing hair, getting dressed...It is a painful process.

We were almost ready. Keys in hand, about to give Tucker his "sorry we are leaving you again" treat when Katie says, "I gave Andrew a sticker." Naively I think she is sharing one of the many stickers Santa recently brought her. Nope. Not the case. She took one of the stickers off a new dog toy and stuck it to Andrew's forehead.

Katie thought it was hysterical. Andrew couldn't stop grinning ear to ear. I laughed out loud. Neither of them knew what it said.

I gave them both a squeeze!





These are the little moments that I hope I remember for a long time. It will probably be years before it is actually easy to get out of the house, but I must remember to keep my sense of humor.
