Graffiti

Dear Miya,

I have asked you many times without you ever wavering in your response.  However, I feel I must ask one more time as there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.  Are you sure it wasn't you who drew on the wall?


Love,
Mommy

Vacuuming

Dear Rhys,

At present, it is a hilariously adorable response to being asked what you are doing. This is due to the fact that I know it means you are pretending to vacuum.  In 15 years, the reply "I vucking" will be met with a much less positive reaction.

Love,
Mommy

New Eyes

Dear Rhys,

While I will acknowledge that getting soap in one's eye is a painful experience, I am not going to get you new eyes.  They tend to reserve eye transplants for more serious afflictions.  Despite what you keep insisting, I cannot just buy you some new ones at the store.

Love,
Mommy

Exercise

Dear Miya,

Before you were born, going for a run meant I went outside and ran at a comfortable pace for a length of time determined by me.  My motivation was fitness.  Nearly five years after your arrival, going for a run means running as fast as I can while pushing a double stroller from the park to our house.  My motivation is hearing, "I have to poop AT HOME and I don't think I can hold it."

Love,
Mommy
