quote of the day

Baby E is often called "Little Miss Echo".  She echos and imitates and follows her sisters everywhere.  But she also loves to be my echo, particularly when it means she's bossing around her sisters.  So as I was addressing one of A's misbehavior, she was repeating me and it was not helpful.  So I told her "You need to stop.  Let me be the mom.  You are not the mom."  To which she replied (with ample sass), "I'm not the mom.  I'm the dad!"
