Having little girls has seasoned our lives with a mix of drama, a pinch of chaos, a variety of squeals and a whole lot of entertainment! The blessings abound.
A sense of wonder… “When will my ant farm come back alive…maybe on Wednesday?”
Ample reason…. “I like to eat chocolate because I like to eat chocolate.”
A touch of social etiquette…. “Thank you and I know I am welcome.”
A bit of suspense…”Is Santa coming next afterday?”
Some tossed creativity… “The teddy likes to wear the plate hat because he likes to have cookies on his head.”
A whole lotta passion… “NOOOOOOOOO!”
A healthy dose of intellectual stimulation…. “Da-da-la-la-wa-wa-ma-ma-ka-ba-ba-ca-ca-cat !!”
Moments of discovery… “Belly button!” (pointing to the spot just south of kitty’s highly held tail.)
A handful of grace and charm… “Sweetie, say hi to Uncle Charlie!”
“No. He is old.”
Episodes of unquestionable wit… “My mommy ate ice cream on the couch aaaallll day long today.”
Unarguable joy… “I love cookies. I love Christmas. I love Mommy. I love Daddy. I love sister. I love preschool. I love Santa. I love cookies. I love…”
And, those two young ladies always give me a run for my money.
That’s not what I meant. Come baaaack here!
