Our Independent Taylor

We were at my sister's wedding reception. Taylor had been asked to temporarily sit at the guest sign-in table and guard the cards with money in them. We didn't think a 7-year-old was the wisest choice to greet the guests, so we asked him to come away from the table with us. He adamantly refused. In frustration, Matt asked him, "Who is is charge here?"

Taylor emphatically responded, "I AM!"

(Remember that Safety Kids song called I'm in Charge of Me? It's been running through my mind ever since.)

Geico

We were meeting our friends at a restaurant in Mesa called The Gecko Grill. Taylor pipes up from the back seat: "Where is Geico?"

(By the way, we HIGHLY recommend The Gecko Grill. I just know it's one of those things I'll crave when I'm pregnant, and I live 600-something miles away!)

If I Only Had a Brain!

Nathan was in trouble for messing with our camera. I sent him to time out and told him to think about what he did and why it was wrong.

The next thing I heard was, "I'm not going to think again! Not FOREVER and EVER!"
