I'm not a perfect mom. I know...there is no such thing. But when I look back at my five years of being a mom, I realize that I did do the book thing right. After breakfast today, I looked up from my usual place--the sink, of course!--to see this. I grabbed my camera, feeling proud of them, and proud of myself.

Lorelei started the trend, and Kiefer is looking straight into his little board book because there is a mirror in it, so he's either kissing himself (he definitely got the self-love gene from me) or just being silly (um, yeah, he probably got that gene from me, too). And Ben had insisted he wasn't hungry and didn't want oatmeal until I coaxed him to the table by promising him to read him a book. He came with five. We compromised with two.
Life is good.
My favorite kids...besides my own of course. Love Kiefer kissing himself in the book.
