Saturday morning Aubrey(5) and I snuggled up in my bed. She had found a box of her daddy’s coins and mementos from trips we have taken across the globe and she was intrigued. She pulled out each coin one by one and asked, “What’s that said Momma?”

“It says Singapore, 50 cents.”

I would explain to her where each particular country was and why we had been there.

“Oh Momma! I didn’t know you had been ALL over the world!” She exclaimed.

Aubrey reached in and pulled another coin from the box, this time it was a half dollar with President Kennedy’s profile embossed on it.

“This is President Kennedy,” I said to her.

“Oh, I know! He was my FAVORITE president!”

“He was? Why?”

“Because of his hair,” she said matter-of-factly.

I laughed at her answer because, let’s face it, he did have great hair.

Aubrey scowled at me handed me another coin. This time it was just a plain old quarter.

“This is George Washington, he was the very first president of the United States. Do you love his hair too?” I snickered.

“QUIT having fun at me Momma!”

“I’m not making fun of you. I’m making a joke! Look at him, he’s almost bald and he has a ponytail!”

“You shouldn’t laugh at our pwesidents OR their hair. Everybody is different, Momma!”

Ooo, ouch. That stung a little bit.

This morning Aubrey (5) asked me, “Momma can we go get in your bed and snuggle?”
“Of course we can,” I said. We raced into my bedroom and jumped under the covers.

“Hold me like a sthpoon Momma,” she said as she turned her back to me.

I snuggled up next to her and she curled up in the fetal position.

“Momma, you want me to waddle up like this so you can imagine I’m a baby?”

“If you want to, but I like you being a big girl so we can talk.”

“I WANT to be a baby, so I don’t have to do nuffin’!”

Nobody slept very well in our house last night. When I finally dragged myself out of bed, and told Aubrey to get dressed for school, she whined, “But Momma, I don’t wanna go to school. I wanna play tooky.”

“Play who?”

“Tooky. I wanna play tooky…you KNOW, when you don’t go to school.”

“Ohhh, HOOKY you want to play hooky.”

“That’s what I SAID, MOM-MA! I want to play tooky!”

And yes…she knows what playing hooky is because we’ve done it before (once.) And YES she is in kindergarten…

As we were walking home from school today Aubrey said, “Momma, I know how to spell poop. P-O-O-P. Poop.”

“Well, ahh, I guess you’re right. That is how you spell poop. Did someone at school teach you that?”

“Nope. It’s just a really easy word.”

Loverly. Glad my kid is so smart?

Aubrey: Mommy, yesterday Ms Drake said you should never drive a car and talk on a cell phone.
Me: She’s right, that could be VERY dangerous!
Aubrey: But MOMMA! You did that! You talked on the phone and drove with your leg!

Uhhhh, yeah. Well.

Sadie (11mos) has started kissing. She kisses open mouthed and all over your face. And she likes it. A lot. She will kiss you over and over until you put her down or move on to something else. I was holding her yesterday and she was leaning over trying to kiss Aubrey (5).
“Aubrey, Sadie is trying to kiss you.”
“I don’t wanna kiss her again! Her has dragon breath!”

A few days ago we were talking about birthdays and birthday parties. “Sadie’s birthday is coming up really soon,” I told Aubrey and Emma. “We’ll make her a cake and have a party! She will be ONE!”

Aubrey exclaimed, “YEAH, cause now she is zero!”
