Lunch was a bit hectic today. Baby Bug was crying and Little Mouse was hurriedly getting ready to go to her friend’s house. Baby Bear wanted something. I was vaguely aware of him asking something, but that was about all I gathered until he threw up his arms, gasped and said:
Some people just have to do EVERYTHING themselves!
And he proceeded to climb the cabinets to get down the macaroni and cheese. Opening the box is one of his favorite little chores, and he can’t very well do it if mom doesn’t give him the box.
