We are no slackers. Everyone in this family has responsibilities. Greg's responsibility is to clip the fingernails of everyone except me. (I think my children's fingernails are going to be ready for the Guinness Book of World Records after Daddy's year in Honduras.) My responsibility is to resist stuffing people's mouths with chocolate when they whine. (This includes my mouth, of course.) And David's responsibility is to pee IN the toilet. (Which, if you look at the bathroom floor and walls, is apparently too much to ask.) Mary's responsibility is to wake up David from his nap.
In a weird twist of fate, right now David is my good napper and Mary is not. So she is always up well before he is and anxious to fulfill her responsibility.
Yesterday I took some pictures of her in action.
Sometimes not much progress is made. But that's okay. Sometimes their fingernails get really long, and sometimes I break out the M&Ms. Responsibility isn't easy.[These pictures remind me of their desire to take a nap together.]
