The Funny Things They Say and Do
Quote From: jcrpetersI'm a military spouse currently stationed overseas. I have 3 children ages (just turned) 4, 2 and 11 months. My oldest daughter has become the entertainment for the base. Everytime I go out it is always to the question of, "What has Rachel done lately?" LOL Now her little sister is following in her footsteps and the baby is not far behind. I will share a day with you. 
 
My husband was sent back to the States for training and I was still in Spain 8 months pregnant with a 3 & 2 year old. I had to walk to the post office and library everyday, because I don't drive and we didn't have a phone so email was the only communication my husband and I had. My fingers were hugely swollen so I couldn't wear my wedding bands. As we arrived at the post office, me waddling pushing my middle child Hannah while Rachel ran around in the grass crazily, Rachel ran up to a bunch of men in uniform and loudly asked, "Are you my daddy?" Everyone looked at me with 2 little kids and huge belly and no wedding ring, and silently walked away. I was mortified. (But what can you do.) I later asked Rachel why she said that and she said that it was funny. LOL Who says 3 year old don't have a sense of humor. 
That same day we walked over to the library and I was trying to type an email to my husband when Rachel and Hannah started fighting over a crayon. A nice gentleman started asking Rachel questions at some point he asked her if she liked computers, well Rachel then states in her indoor voice, (which still is quite loud) that her daddy won't let her play with the "come-peter" Once again, reasons we don't take Rachel in public.   she sounds adorable. I dont know how you did it overseas with 3 small children and one that is as outgoing as Rachel. Good luck your going to have a lot of subscriptions to Americas Funniest Home Video's she sounds like a riot.
