I have been trying to help Isabelle and Keith work out their problems with each other without stepping in to referee all the time. So in one such case, when Belle was coming to me because Keith was or wasn't doing something she thought he should be, I started the dialogue of "Can you think of something that might solve this problem? Let's think, what can you do--because it's not Mommy's problem." sort of thing. Belle's response: "But Mom, he's YOUR child, NOT mine".
While declaring at the swimming pool she was never going to go home, but live a the pool forever, David asked her what she would do in the winter and the water is frozen. "Ice skate" witty little stinker. At four it's funny. At fourteen? I guess we'll have to wait and see!
