My Pie

I like to call Tamzin "honeypie". 

Two nights ago when we were putting the girls to bed Cameron said to Tamzin, "Good night honey." 

A slightly embarassed Tamzin walked over to me and said, "Mommy, Daddy my pie."

Recorder

I remember the day my little brother came home from school with the dreaded recorder.  I just knew that somehow I was going to ensure that my children would never, ever do the same.

My worst nightmare came true this week.  Annika is so proud of her recorder that she has been wearing it around her neck and tooting on it to her heart's content.  Unfortunately for her, my ears are not equally as content. 

I had to make some rules.  Immediately.  She may practice a nice song for 10 minutes and then she has to break it.  I mean put it away.  I know she was a little disappointed, but I just can't stand it. 

Do I get the Bad Parenting Award for this?
