Ideas

I'm an idea person.  I throw them out there.  Good or bad, if I get an idea then I put it out there into the universe and let it fall where it may.  My kids seem to have inherited this trait. 

R gets her own ideas...about one a minute, it seems.

"Mommy, can I put a tattoo on my face?" 
"Mommy, let's have a garage sale!"
"Mommy will you take me to a wishing well?"
"Mommy, I'm gonna have an art show!"
"Mommy, I want to yodel at the top of a mountain."

I like to try to encourage her ideas.  So today I took her to yodel at the top of a mountain.  She was a bit disappointed because her yodel didn't come back to her like she expected.  She is convinced that the mountain was not big enough so we are going to have to try it again on a higher peak next time.  It was still fun, though.

B has his own ideas.  His idea of a good time is to go full tilt.  He likes to max out the capacity of fun in every situation and it is infectious. Last night B and I "relaxed" in the hot tub.

I'm proud that my kids have their own ideas.  It makes them who they are and I hope that they are always bold enough to try to make their ideas fly!
