I started a year ago measuring the kids on a door we had in the playroom. Joshua was so insistent the other night to be measured when we had just measured a month ago. It was funny because when I measured them I realized it was one day after we had started a year ago. They have grown so much in a year. (Notice Joshua measured himself one day)
This is of the famous wooden spoon. Which I am happy to say we rarely have to use. Once when we wrote on a door...Once when we ran away from home to Mimi's across the street...You know those important moments... Well, one day the wooden spoon went missing and when it returned it looked like this. I am guessing if you have girls the wooden spoon would not be necessary. Maude seems to have avoided the wooden spoon, she seems very content on punishing herself with crying in her room when a sturn voice is used. However, I might keep it around for her teen years.
That is definitely a mad face!
ReplyDeleteLove the spoon ... we've used them and they make great tools for the backside! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to love getting measured. In our old house on Terry Drive there is a spot in the kitchen doorway where Derrick, Danielle & Doug Milner were measured growing up and then Mom & Dad added Emily & me to it. Kinda neat if you ask me...of course there are also teeth marks on the front window sill of where they used to chew on the wood when they were teething... I love the spoon. I wish I lived closer to home, I think your kids and me would get along GREAT!
ReplyDeleteAre there teeth marks on the spoon?
ReplyDeleteyes, but from a puppy not our children. I think!
