Decisions, decisions

My kids are not fantastic decision makers. I blame it on myself. I will admit that I struggle with being indecisive. Anyway, to help my children in their decision making (and to save my sanity), I only give them two choices. "Choice #1 or Choice #2. You choose". Today after church while we were waiting for lunch to get out of the oven, Lana turns to Paul and says,

"Daddy, let's play toys."

Paul pauses and says, "How about you bring me a book and I'll read to you."

Lana obviously did not want to read books because her response to that was, "Daddy, do you want to play dolls or play bears? You choose."

Ha! My kids really are listening!
