It takes longer...

Doing anything takes longer with kids.

I had to go talk to a community employment government agency called WorkOne. I had to take Miranda and Veronica with me. I got lots of cute looks, some funny ones (Miranda was wearing a crown and Veronica was in my pink moby wrap), and lots of smiles. At least, until the 2-year-old started standing on chairs, pulling on the diving rope, taking paper out of the printer, dropping crayons through a hole in the desk onto the floor below.

It's a good thing little children are so cute. It make them that much harder (for others) to get mad at them.

Oh, and we won't talk about the times a child is misbehaving and the necessary requirement of literally dragging or abandoning your child to their temper tantrum. Yeah, the looks on that one are interesting, too.

Miranda grabbed my camera out of my purse while waiting to see somebody at WorkOne and had it out of its case and on before I could grasp or gasp NO! Then, with some assistance, I let her take some pictures. This was the best one (of the 10 she took).
