Do you ever wonder how many strangers stories you are in?
Just a few examples I could see others telling about our family:
-I saw this poor mom in the bathroom the other day w/ 2 kids on the potty and changing a diaper while the other one ran circle around her trapping her legs in the leash....
-This sweet little girl was narrating her potty experience to her mom in the bathroom…
- I was caught off guard today when a mom came out of the clothes rack holding a 2 kids...
- Did you see how far that little kid shot that food off her plate? She got a future in baseball....
-Or the one we all dread…. some little girls was coach/praising her mom on the potty today. (You gotta love then the tell you they are going to hold to you so you don't fall in and clap for you when your all done.)
Sometimes I think I need to charge admission for the show my girls put on in public, not always bad entertaining either. They are just so stinkin' entertaining! Karis will be trying to help push the cart and Kaelyn will walk beside her going "Skoot back!" Addy insists on wearing her sunglasses the entire time and is always looking behind her so she is constantly running into things/people or having very near misses. And Amara feels the need to constantly narrate everything, sometime even through song. She is a 1 girl musical show. :) We get so many people that stop us to ask, "Are they all your?!?" that Amara, sometime Addy, have started just telling people who haven't asked. And once they start you can't stop them until they have to preform the whole show, their ages, when their birthday is, how old they will be on their birthday, that they are sisters, and that they have twins, etc.
We are trying to give Amara some since of what a stranger is and that its not always appropriate to walk up to someone and have a conversation with them (Say what mom? If they can see me I must converse with them!) So now when she remembers not to go up to someone she will loudly announce to all those in the area, "Mom that man/lady is a stranger. I don't know them so I didn't talk to them. They might not be nice."
One thing is for sure we never have a dull time when we are out in about. But when your 4 on 1 you just learn to expect the unexpected and go with it. And carrying a few extra snacks and wipes is always a good idea! (You never know when one of the twins will pee out their diaper and it will pour out the cart and pool on the floor, so napkins are a good thing to carry to.)
Txt me for the upcoming show schedule!
