The joy of masking tape

So I decided to start updating our blog site again. Today, I want to tell about one of the cheapest forms of entertainment I have found for my 3 year old. If you know her, you know that she is always moving. She cannot sit still. She is also a very loud child. I have heard that she is alot like I was when I was little. Oh, did I mention she is pretty strong-willed. I keep reminding myself that she will make a great adult. She will not be able to be pushed around and she will not take no for an answer. Anyway, back to my original thought, she is fascinated with masking tape. I love it because it last a long time, is relatively inexpensive, and won't break or tear anything (unless she tapes a book.) She will put it on our walls and I can just take it right off. She will put it on her toys. Again, I can take it right off. The only thing I have to watch for is making sure that my almost nine month old doesn't follow behind and take it off to put in her mouth. Well, that is my thought for the day.

One funny story (I will probably send this to Reader's Digest.) The other night we went out to eat. We were waiting for our food and Emily was getting a little impatient. She asked me what we were waiting for. I told her we were waiting for them to deliver our good food. She crossed her arms looked at me and said, "I don't want good food, I want our food at home." I thought that was so funny!
