I was at Kohl's with both kids in the double stroller and realized I needed to use the bathroom so I went into the handicap one so the kids and my stuff could stay in the stroller. I don't do this often and decided to just get over it and move on. Then I heard Briella say, "I like your blue underwear Mom" (with a grin on her face). Thanks Brie, I'll remember that . . .
While visiting the elderly, passing gas seems as normal as with infants, except to Briella. After hearing a prolonged toot she loudly proclaimed "Ewwwww, she tooted" and when I tried to ignore her inappropriate comment she repeated the facts again and again.
A couple of times recently after getting dressed (usually on Sunday morning) Briella says "I'm SO pretty." I think because we have said this to her (lesson learned), so we have explained that she can say a dress or shirt is pretty, but not that she is pretty, she should let others say that. As I said it has happened more than once so she hasn't quite gotten it yet. She was also helping me with the leaves a few weeks ago and said "I'm SO helpful." Which at the time she was and I was thankful, but again how do we teach our eager to please 3 year old not to brag?!?
We keep learning about this parenting thing and how there is SO much to teach our children. It continues to be a blessing and a challenge at the same time. We are thankful for wisdom from God and His Word and for grace when our wisdom is lacking!!

I used to announce to my sisters, "I'm the prettiest" and was obsessed with smiling at myself in the mirror. I think being a self-obsessed three-year-old is normal!
Maybe someday I'll meet her!
