"Me Too!!!"

Mom: "I'm full."
Yoni: "I'm full too!"
Dad: "I'm tired."
Yoni: "I'm tired too!"
then we start having fun...
Mom: "I'm funny."
Yoni: "I'm funny too!"
Dad: "I'm smart."
Yoni: "I'm smart too!"
and we go on and on and laugh and laugh...
And another new one is "Me do it!"
Everything we try to do for Jonathan (cut up his food, get him dressed, brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc) is now promptly followed by "Me do it!" and he is now trying to do everything by himself. Good thing we are not in a hurry most of the time.
Lately, I've been quite busy. You see, I am a 5ft 4in woman. I believe it is considered average height, yet the average pair of pants is for women that must be 6 ft 2 at least. It doesn't matter where I buy the pants, the petite size is for 4 footers and the regular size is for 6 footers....and here I am, 5 ft 4...right in the middle. I've always had this problem and have always dealt with it. But after a recent (rare) shopping trip, I've decided to buy a nice pair of pants and to get them hemmed by a seamstress. Only problem is, there are about 3 in the whole area and they each have a wait of 2 months. So, taking matters into my own hands, we bought a sewing machine, and a few instructional youTube videos later, I find myself hemming my own pants! Ok, so my first pair turned into shorts, and my second pair is still a little too short, but I am getting better. Hopefully this skill will be a handy one around here and maybe I'll even learn to sew more than just hems.

Good luck to the sewing machine. You may discover a new talent, and it will certainly come in handy.
