follow me boys



There is an old movie titled 'Follow Me Boys' starring Fred MacMurray (he is also in the original Absent Minded Professor). I haven't watched the movie in years...however, I think of it every day.

Every day and time when Madeleine calls out "BOYS!"


She really is another little mother - I hear my own words through her, and some of her own as well. And so often, I try not to laugh, and sometimes I vow that I need to not say some of the things I do, or improve my tone of voice.

Today as we were getting ready to run an errand, I heard her say:
"Boys! get your shoes on" and "Boys it's time to get on your coats," and my favorite was at the store with, "Boys, you know you are supposed to stay by us!"

She is already in great training....or she is a bossy older sister.

Perhaps she is the best of both :)
