Remember the rule, "No running in the house!"?

It's funny how you will let "little" kids get away with things that you won't let "big" kids do. Last weekend we had Max for the weekend & during that time Max & Sydney "ran" around the living room & kitchen quite a few times. We let them too. Why? Because their "run" really is not that fast & it was cute to listen to them giggling away while they were having fun.
Well, the same thing happened yesterday. We went to visit Regan to wish her a happy birthday which is tomorrow. Regan had some balloons & her and Sydney had a grand olde time running around the kitchen-dining-living room. Again, we let them because it was fun for us to watch them having fun.Sometime soon I am sure the day will come that we say, "NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!". And because we let them do it before they will look at us, get mad, and try to do it anyway. Who can blame them, right? We let them do it before, surely we must be joking this time. Well, I guess that's why there's the phrase, "start as you mean to go". I have heard this a thousand times from my mother-in-law. Advice that I have also seen her preach & not practice.I am not going to share the "birthday girl picture" until tomorrow, so you will have to wait. But I will share the picture of Sydney's first piece of real cake that she got to eat all on her own- minus cake & icing. Of course, she loved it. It gave her the extra steam to complete her short run track race around the kitchen-dining room-living room.
