Smart.

This afternoon, I shut H in my bedroom with me while I blow dried my hair in the master bathroom. T and a friend were playing a game with a million little pieces in the living room and M had accompanied J to his hair cut to make sure he didn't decide to go bald.

Because H is stubborn and inventive, I knew that he would not just sit in my bedroom doing nothing for 15 minutes so I did what a majority of all mothers I know would do and that was, give him a lollipop. A Tootsie Roll Pop to be exact.

The only catch was he had to sit down. So I sat him down on the floor and started drying my hair, turned around to see him scooting on his bottom around my bedroom. Yes, he scooted around with a lollipop in his mouth for 15 minutes.

That's what I call smart.

T also had an important announcement yesterday during the playoff game between the Giants and the Packers. While most kids are excited for Martin Luther King Day because they get the day off of school. T happened to realize that "if it weren't for Martin Luther King, we wouldn't even be watching this football game."

How right he is.

Thank you Dr. King for all you did to change things years ago so that we could not only enjoy equality for people of all races, but also enjoy a good football game.

Happy Martin Luther King Day! We celebrated by having donuts for breakfast after a very-cold trip in our pajamas to pick up said donuts at oh, 7:00am this morning. We aren't at that, oh we have the day off of school we should sleep in, stage quite yet.
