Another Lydiaism

. . . and a bonus--a Joelism . . .

Today, per my usual routine, I announced it was quiet time around 1:45 p.m. Lydia and Joel have been bugging me the last few days to have quiet time together. I keep saying, "no." Today Lydia asked, "Mommy, can Joel and I have quiet time together? We want to do Bible study together." That girl, she's a clever one.

Then Joel, not missing a beat, leaned into Lydia, gave her a big hug and said, "I love Lydia, Mommy."

I laughed. Then I caved. I told them they could lay down together with their blankets on my bedroom floor IF they were very quiet--NO WORDS.

This seasoned mom should have known better. Whisper, whisper, whisper. When we got up from quiet time I told them both that they would not be having quiet time together again. Lydia said, "I know Mom, we just wanted to try it one time." Oh, she's good.
