When's the Last Time You Talked to Raleigh?

If you haven't seen Raleigh lately, you should! This girl is a piece of work. We cannot keep up with her! We've decided that she doesn't have ADHD- she's just "gifted." She's got this boundless energy and creativity, and she does everything with so much intensity, that it is hard to keep up! Lately, her thing is to do backwards somersaults everywhere she goes inside the house. She's actually very graceful. She washed her hands to the beat of the music in Olive Garden today, and whenever she eats something, she always does a little role play with her food.


To the twelve chocolate chips:
"Okay, we have twelve apostles here." (eats one)
"Now we have eleven!! We NEED another apostle!"

To her crackers:
"Get IN the shopping cart!"
"But, MOM, I don't WANT to ride in the shopping cart!"

To some other plate of food:
"I need four brethren to come forward, please. Four brethren please."


Looks like we have evidence that our kids have been sufficiently indoctrinated. A few days ago I asked her why she just left the dinner table and went to her room without being excused. "Well, Mom, I guess I just have bad manners today."
