Sydney learned a new word
I am getting ready to paint my bedroom. I spend a good portion of yesterday afternoon taping. As I am sure many of you have experienced with your own children, my children gravitate toward whatever area of the house I am in. I had to move my bed to the middle of the room so I could tape behind it. I hide birthday and Christmas presents under my bed. When I moved the bed I made sure to keep all of the stuff under it hidden. Normally it works great because my kids aren't ever in my room. You know what happened, right? Sydney was playing with Payton and started 'looking' around. She pulled out her birthday present (not suppose to see it till June) and gleefully squeals, "Is this for me???" I didn't hesitate or crack a smile, "Nope, it's for someone else." The delighted expression on her face crashed. "Oh." And she put it back under my bed. Then I taught her a new word, "SNOOP". I explained (hopefully in a nice way) that looking in places that don't belong to you is called snooping. She still looked kind of confused so I told her that she'd know when she was snooping because the Holy Ghost would tell her she was doing something wrong. Anyway, I hope she understands. And I really hope she forgets about the birthday present before June rolls around!

I am proud to be associated with you. Way to find the blog. I had to do a little SNOOPing of my own to find yours. kristin hancock stowell
The joys of a child's attention span. However, she's old enough to have a GREAT memory when it comes to things that are suppose to remain secret. Good luck!
