“You’re only one person”

When the girls loudlyÂ ask me for things at the same time and/or are particularly demanding, I sometimes remind them that I can only do so much and thatÂ I’m only one person. (This seems to resonate with them.) I couldn’t help but smile the other night when Q was making dinner for the girls and Avery asked him if hers was ready yet. “Not yet,” he told her, and she responded in a comforting voice, “That’s okay – you’re only one person, Daddy. I totally understand.”
