And just in case you thought I was exaggerating how much Brent likes to keep things organized…and to remind myself that I haven’t pigeon-holed him…
Shannon received a small “kitchen” for her birthday. You know the kind…every girl loves to play with it; every person that comes within 1000 feet of it is treated to some sort of wonderful, invisible dinner and of course, it comes with all kinds of little dishes that get left lying all over for mom and dad to step on. The first night I thought I’d better nip the “scattered dish thing” in the bud, and asked Brent to help Shannon pick up her stuff. (Because he had been playing with it too…) Brent’s reply, “OK mom. Come on Shannon, and make sure you ORGANIZE them (emphasis his!). Let’s put all the plates on this shelf, the bowls in here…
I only hope some day some of that will rub off onto me!
And for those of you who we feeling sorry for our "princess" you will be glad to know that Shannon got a "real" crown for her birthday as well!
