It's true that kids say the darndest things...I have come to know my daughter so much better by listening to what she says and just loving the way her little mind puts things together at this tender age. I decided that I need to start keeping track and will add to this post as the wisdom grows.
1. I am putting insulin into my pump and she says, " Mom, are you taking your medicine?...Well, when I was a big girl, I loose to take medicine too..."
2. I told her that I made her chalkboard when she was in my belly. She says, "Well, when you were in my belly, I was the mommy and you were my BABY!"
3. Like some kids I have known, she still holds her arms up to me and says, "I want to hold you..." I will never get sick of that and do believe that I need it more than she does at times...so her wording seems fitting.
4. She has the most compassionate heart and is so tender with all her babies and any animal she comes in contact with. When she speaks to them or about them, her voice raises 2 octives (if that is even possible) and she cups her little hands and says something so very sweet. Today in the public restroom at the park (YUCK), we saw a rather large spider on the wall. In the exact voice and mannerism described above, she said, "OHHHH...Mommy look at the wittle baby spider...he's so cute and he misses his daddy and mommy:)" Perspective folks! Perspective. I decided not to kill that spider at that moment.

She's a sweetie. One for the records- when we were playing in her room with her babies she showed me a doll, Penny, and said, "This is me when I was a baby. We both have blue eyes. Here, (handed me the doll) you hold me." And another- she was hiding dice under a cup and I'd find them. One of the times Keith took the dice out from the cup when she wasn't looking. She was shocked that they weren't there. She said, "They just poofed out!" He put them back when she walked away. She came back, found them, and excitedly yelled, "They poofed out...then they just poofed back in!"
