Children and Silence really don't mix.

Living in a household of three girls all under the age of five is an adventure. They follow you around, get in all of your things and are constantly in your business. Privacy doesn't really occur to them. They are constantly laughing, screaming or crying. Silence doesn't ever really exist. UNLESS.

Yes, for all those mommies and nannies, you know the unless.

Lucia, sickly Kayla and I were watching The Mindy Project and Up All Night  I heard silence. My first response was to say something but I thought it was just my paranoid self. After catching up on the episodes it was time for the girls naptime.

Lucia goes into the girls' room and all of a sudden Lucia mumbles something and then there is more silence followed by, "Sam come in here."

I quickly scamper into the girls' room and see white. Not just a little it but white everywhere. It was almost like snow but without the cold. Josslyn decided that she would a)put every single toy in Vida's crib and b) use 1 1/2 bottles of baby powder on everything and yes, everything.

After moments of trying not to laugh, I finally ask Joss, "What made you think pouring baby powder over everything was a good idea."

Her response, "My heart told me to do it."

Then she progressed to explain to me that there was no other option because of her heart.

She is three.

One of my absolute favorite children

Kayla Danielle_-- if only your daddy could drive you to me. 
Or even go to the ATM to buy money. It just breaks my heart when you tell me I'm too far away on skype.

I know I know, you've heard it before. I love this girl. She has so much personality for a three year old and is very wise beyond her years. 

Understanding this, you will understand my sheer joy when I woke up to this story posted on my skype. 

Lucia:  So this morning I'm drawing with Kayla, and she asks me to draw our family...so I draw Edgar and myself and Kayla and Joss....and when I'm finished, she says: "and Sam, and Sam!!!"

The first thing I did 
Smile a big-toothed grin and then looked up plane tickets. Daydreaming about South Africa, pre-packing my bags trying to already consolidate.   Then was hit with the realization that plane tickets are far too expensive. I'm reminded of this daily. 

I keep hoping that I will discover my superhero abilities and fly soon.
