Shoes and the man

This morning while I was getting ready, Gillian was exploring in my closet. She first pulled out a pair of flip flops. She put them on and walked to me and said “I a jumping frog!” Then she jumped across the room. She got bored with those flip flops and went back to the closet. She pulled out another pair, put them on and walked around the room. She continued to pull shoes out of my closet and put them back when she was done. She found a pair of silver high heels that she called “Princess Shoes.” She asked for help with the straps. I put the shoes on her and helped her stand up. She took like two steps and stopped. That’s all she needed a few steps in princess shoes and she was off to play in a laundry basket.

Daddy is at a conference and told John that he was “the man of the house.” John loves being man of the house. He thinks its just an opportunity to boss me around. Tonight at dinner, he said “Can I sit in Daddy’s chair? Cause that’s where the man of the house sits!” At bedtime he also said to me “You know, the man of the house gets to sleep in the big bed!” It’s going to be a long couple of days.
