A Visit From Goldilocks!

We were a home school family,

and my youngest two sons

were outside the box thinkers.

While it was a struggle at first

to figure out how to teach them,

I loved the fact that they saw

and experienced things so fully!

And I think Olivia might be a

lot like them!

Why?

Because when I took the girls home

last week their Momma wasn't there.

(She had went to home group after baby sitting

a couple of neighbors so their Momma

could go to the doctor.)

We let ourselves in and they

wanted to show me their doctor stuff

in their toy room.

And - their toy room was a mess!

Grace said, "Oh, no! I know I cleaned

our toy room before I went to your house!"

And then Olivia said, "Someone's been playing

with our toys!"

Then Grace said, "Someone's been playing with

our stethoscope."

And Olivia said, "Someone's been playing

with my blocks."

Then Grace said, "And someone's been playing

with our Barbie's!"

And then - Olivia thought she KNEW

what had happened!

"Oh, no!" she said. "It must have

been Goldilocks!"

Once she figured that out she insisted

that I check the beds.

Nope.... no one was sleeping in Grace's bed.

Nope.... no one was sleeping in Olivia's bed.

Nope.... no one was sleeping in Momma's bed.

Nope...... Goldilocks was nowhere in the house!

Grace tried telling her that Goldilocks

is only a pretend character,

but Olivia wasn't buying it.

We had to check the chairs.

And once we cleared the house she still

wasn't too sure. She even wanted

her Daddy to check again

when he came home.
