Oh, the things that kids decide that they want. Yesterday as we were leaving Wal-Mart. Heidi saw a bug guy(a.k.a spiderman) on a box. She was asking me about the bug guy which I was not real sure what she was talking about and had to go back to where she saw it. I told her that was spiderman and then she started saying that she wanted spiderman. She started crying and calling for spiderman. I have no idea what got into her since this was the first time to really ever see spiderman. So there I am walking out of Wal-Mart with her crying and saying I want spiderman. People are looking at me with smiles. I told one lady who would have thought that it would be my daughter crying over spiderman? She at least stopped after we got home and she realized that she was getting no where. Then when the girls were eating dinner last night Heidi informed me that she wanted to go and get a spiderman. She said that she wanted one in a box. Elizabeth also told me that she wanted one as well. I wonder about my children sometimes.
Another episode that we had yesterday was Elizabeth crying because her pink car would not stay up on the speaker. Now this pink car is one of the riding toys that can also be used as a walking toy when kids are just learning to walk. She was wanting it up on the speaker so that Timothy would not play with it. He likes to push it around the house. Anyway, I had made her lunch, which was a hot dog, and cut it up on her plate but had not given it to her because I was going to cut up some strawberries to put on the plate as well. I walked away from the kitchen for a bit and she decided to get her plate down herself and set it on their little table. She was still trying to get her car up on the speaker so her food was left unattended. We are dog sitting for my parents and one of the dogs decided that Elizabeth's lunch smelled pretty good and must have tasted pretty good as well. As I am returning to the kitchen she is crying that the dog ate her lunch. So, there I am locking the dogs up and asking her if she should have left her plate sitting on the table. I had to make yet another hot dog for her. Although I did think about telling her sorry I guess next time you will not take your plate down off the counter without asking, but decided that I would hold off on that and not have her go hungry since it was not our dog that got her food. The girls are not use to having dogs around that will take any moment to steal food, and the dogs are not use to having people leave food to where they can get it if it is not for them.
Well, we will see what happens today.
