my excellent parenting

ok, so this blog entry isn't so much about evi as it is about what excellent parents we are. tee hee!
evi has broken her first piece of decoration at a store. yes, i am that mother who was not paying attention to her child in a store and she knocked over 2 vases at a furniture store in houston (totaling $120!!!). of course i could also say, what were 2 breakable vases doing that low that they could get knocked over, but it's totally my fault. (luckily there was not a "you brake, you buy" policy)
next, scott and i got 2 other kids in trouble at a restraunt because being the excellent parents that we are, we brought a dvd player for our child so that we could sit in peace and we could both have a meal. 2 years ago i would have been totally disgusted at this sight and would have sworn that i would never do such a thing. (never say never!) so 2 little girls at the next table caught sight of the movie and crawled into the both behind us to watch and wouldn't go back to their table. when they were leaving we heard them ask if they were going to grandma and grandpa's now and the dad responded with "i don't know, they're scared to have you over since they saw how you can't mind". i can just hear it now. the next time they go out to eat the girls are going to ask for movie and say " but that other girl got to watch a movie at dinner" and they will say, " well that little girl is a spoiled rotten brat!" ...and she is...
and now this morning, i just wanted to lay in bed a little longer so i turned on nickelodeon. well during a commercial she started saying "uh-oh" over and over again. so i picked my head to see what she was talking about and it ended up the commercial was one where the dad has a set of approx. 2 yr old triplets and one of them flushes his watch down the toilet and says uh-oh at the end. so yes, my child proved to me in that instant that she watches too much tv when she knew what commercial it was from the beginning!
