what else am I forgetting...?

With this nasty frigid weather we have had for the past week it occured to me that although I feel like I have said the same things thousands of times over and over again for Tayler and Daniel regarding self care and dangers in cold weather, such as skin freezing and why it's important to cover up....I realized that I have one more child who still needs to hear all this stuff a few hundred more times.

I just kind of fell out of saying the 'be carefuls' and the 'please remembers...'

It may have to be due to the fact that although he is only 8 years old he tends to take better care of his things and of keeping track of stuff than his older siblings...he is pretty self sufficient.


We were watching one of my favorite Christmas movies 'A Christmas Story' and the part came along with the dare.." I tripple dog dare ya" you know the part...will his tounge actually stick to the pole?

Well it certainly did didn't it!? Nathan was quite amazed by that little feet....I could see his 8 year old eyes change as he was thinking about this so I had to act quickly and interrupt this thought process he was in. I was afraid it wasn't good. I went on about the pain and the damage it could do..blah blah mommy talk. I think I got through on this one. Phew.

I just can't believe I never thought to tell him this...what else haven't I told him that we just know?

As the older two are now at vehicle starting stage it occurred to me to talk to Daniel about the dangers of starting a vehicle in a closed garage...I was met with a "Really? You could die?"

I am pretty sure I have told him about the yellow snow...!?
