I started using the app Roller Journal as a simple tool to remind me to appreciate the little things my husband and my kids say or do. I have it ask me two questions every day:
- What is one thing Chris said or did that made you smile?
- What is one reason parenting was wonderful?
Here are some of the funny things I wrote down about the kids over the last month:
Conversation with Cooper about the 5 senses:
Cooper: Mommy, did you know there are five senses? Smelling. Tasting. Hearing. Seeing.
Me: That’s only 4, I think you are missing one. Let’s count them again. 1) Smelling. 2) Tasting. 3) Hearing. 4) Seeing. What did we forget?
Cooper: Hmmm…
Me: What about touching?
Cooper: Yeah! You can smell pizza. And sometimes it smells good, but if it smells bad then it’s a warning not to eat it. It means it’s rotten. Rotten means it’s yucky. Like the bananas on the counter.
Me: Guess it’s time to throw away the bananas.

Me: I am freezing!
Charlotte: Yeah, tell me about it!

Me: I need to buy some fall clothes.
Cooper: Do I need fall clothes? Are you going to buy me clothes with leaves on them?

My kids leave me random messages using the label maker. The latest one:
