Watch how you act

because your little ones are sure to follow.

Why is he counting the tines.?.
because Dad does.
How does he know how to shave.?.
he watches dad.
Why is she cheering.?.
because her family cheers her on.

I'd like to say our children only pick up good thins from us. However, that would be a flat out lie. I don't take pictures of their downfalls, they're not nearly as cute.
So just for fun, where do they get these downfalls, mom or dad?
*leaving the fridge open
*putting empty containers back in the fridge
*eating out of a food container
*leaving their shoes smack dab in front of the door
*the phrase "let's check Ebay!"
*Feeling they deserve a bedtime snack each and every night
*Arguing because they don't want to be wrong

...and the list goes on.
Having children has made me change my habits.
And shown me which ones I still need to change.
Now, I think I might have left the fridge door open... better run!

You are SOO right, with R & R here for a few days I have been thinking about this a lot.

I love the pictures of the kiddos :)

This is SO true! I think about this a lot. I seem to be thinking about it more and more as Morgan gets older.
