— Amy Colleen (@sewistwrites) December 14, 2023My 3yo fetched himself a large metal spoon and a saucepan and declared, "Mommy, I going make something."
"What will you make?" I asked, playing along.
"MUSIC," he cackled.
I think I need a spot in the baby book for "first time deliberately doing a bit."

I cooked a frozen lasagna with frozen garlic bread and a frozen apple pie for dessert and my son (literally oblivious this was all store bought) looked at me so genuinely and said, “In my life, I have never had anything you have made that tasted as good as this.”

Asked my 6-year-old what she wants for Christmas and she said "a toy chicken that's taller than Anthony" so now I can't even finish my shopping until I track down this Anthony and find out how tall he is. Why can't she just want a bike?

My daughter’s friend came over and saw our Elf lazily hanging from a lamp and said “This morning our Elf drew a picture of another Elf on the window with shaving cream” and I was all “OH YOUR ELF IS VERY CREATIVE ISN’T HE”

My sister tells me to make my kids do more for themselves and then she lifts her 75 pound puppy into her car because she (checks notes) can’t jump.
