I'm a lollipop

Landon is WAY better at getting our kids to do what he wants them to do when he wants them to do it. He argues superior parenting skills; I argue it's because he's in class 4 nights a week so he's a novelty when home. Here is a typical Cora / Landon convo.

Landon: Listen Buster!

Cora: I'm not a buster, you're a buster.

Landon: ok. I'm the buster you're a sucker!

Tonight Landon got Cora out of the shower and was wrestling her into pjs before dinner (she was suspicious). 

Landon: listen buster we're putting on these pull-ups.

Cora: I'm not the buster you're the buster. I'm the lollipop.

Is there a difference between a sucker and a lollipop? It may be time to start talking about words that sometimes mean the same thing but not always.

Quinn has gotten really cute about coming up, getting right in your face, and saying a long drawn out "Hiiiii". She'll bend sideways if she can't get right in front of your face. It's really stinking cute.

Speaking of lollipops, we did their valentines tonight. Cora insisted on writing her name on the backs of the cards; Quinny insisted on eating the lollipops. Three times I caught her climbing on the table to steal one. I finally put a valentine in her class box:

To: Quinn

From: Quinn
