Another first
As much as I might complain about my kids' behavior, they are really good kids. Sure, they talk more with their mouths full than empty, Jamie doesn't know when to shut her mouth for her own good, and Katie grunts like an adorable little neanderthal. Generally, though, they are destructive only to clothing, and let's face it, they learned from the best.
Jamie was spectacularly well behaved as a toddler. She never climbed or got into, well, anything that we didn't show her was hers. There were no funny stories about eating diaper cream, no shoving chairs around to climb onto the counter for a cookie. She never rolled off a bed, sat in the toilet or ate a crayon.
(She's starting to sound a little too good to be true. She may not have been a physical challenge, but she was always a mental one.)
So today, when she called me into the bathroom to show me how she had ripped the towel rod out of the wall by swinging from it, I was angry, yes. Especially since she admitted that she knew it was wrong.
Yes, very, very angry.
And sort of amused.
And maybe just a tiny bit...proud.

Oh, man...that's something at least one of my kids totally would have done. They're both so hard on the house. I threw in the towel a long time ago...
