Listening Ears

Almost every day, Lydia comes home from school with a note that has a heart drawn by her name along with several smiley faces indicating how perfect and angelic she has been that day.

Because she's perfect and angelic and I am not at all biased.

Today, however, Danny couldn't get the note in my hands fast enough. First I saw the bright orange circle around the "Note to Parents" section of the report, which read, "Lydia was not using listening ears and was very defiant!"

Then, I saw the frowny faces. Two of them.

And, I noted, there were no hearts.

It's official. She's going to be just. like. me.

Lord, help us.

Yes, Lord help us all.

Don't worry--I just only thought that Addison was as stubborn as a mule, but it turns out, that was nothing compared to what her little brother gives us on a daily basis.

And that sweet Lydie is still perfect and angelic...and I am not biased either!
