People always tell us to enjoy our kids while they are little because before we know it they will be grown. We have been taking that advice to heart. We are soaking up all the phases kids go through. In fact, we consider ourselves blessed that some of these wonderful childhood phases last a little longer in our family than in other families. Take potty training for instance. I'm sure there are so many parents out there that are literally crying at night because their kids no longer need their "accidents" cleaned up and they don't get to pile their shopping carts with diapers and wipes every month.
And this phase:
It occurred to me that you might not be able to tell that this is marker on the wall behind one of the couches.
It also occurred to me that you might not have heard that 3 days ago someone took a sharpie to the passenger-side of the car.
On the wall she wrote Kapten Rex.
On the car she wrote BYU.
I'm so glad we get to enjoy this phase longer than most parents.
And I'm also glad that we still get to see her like this sometimes too.

Oh boy... how stressful - yet, I couldn't stop laughing/smiling as I read this post. You make all of these things sound a little fun. haha
You know, in our house, we make sure we put all of our markers up high, where the kids can't get them. That way they won't have them to color on the walls.
