When I Grow Up

(I've come to grips with realizing I'm one of those mothers who talks about her kids more than others care to listen to...but so goes life...)

Addy is such a character. Here was a cute conversation we had today.

Add: Guess what I'm going to be for real when I grow up? (She's wanted to be a doctor, teacher, mother, singer, and a few others already.)

Mom: What?

Add: A police girl.

Mom: Oh!

Add: And I'm going to marry Max and we're going to have the same job. And we'll have the same guns. And the same flashlights. But I won't be shooting people all around. Because I'm a good little girl.

Ha!! I love it!

Nursery Rhymes

After a tiring day at work, Barry laid down for a little nap. He asked Addy to tell him a story. She told him she could tell him a nursery rhyme. He said ok. Here goes:

Add: "Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away."

Dad: "Um, I have a question." "What's a 'tuffet?'"

Add: "It's a special little cushion that people put their feet on."

Dad: "Oh, it is?"

Add: "Yes...Dad, you don't know a lot."

Thanks, Miss Sherryn!! :)

"How Would You Feel if..."

This has been Addy's new favorite question for a while now and it usually goes like this:

Addy (to mom): "How would you feel if you had 199 billion, gazillion, katrillion, 57, 78 kids?"
Mom: (While making a crazy face) "Cuckoo-cuckoo."

The Beginning...

Addy started preschool today! She looked so grown up in her jeans (another recent breakthrough). The snow hasn't stopped today, but that didn't stop the learning.
