We had one of the those days... in the best sense. One that I'll never forget. No pictures necessary:
Isabel: "Hey Mama, is Grandpa allergic to fairies?"
Mama: "Um, no Isabel, I don't think Grandpa is allergic to fairies."
Isabel (all excited): "Then can we get a FAIRY?"
(The background on this one is that months ago we used Grandpa as our excuse not to get a cat.)
Anyone know of a reputable place with fairies for purchase???
Emelia: We all turned from the table after dinner to find our precocious one-year old smiling at her reflection in the mirror. After the baby in the mirror returned Emelia's smile she proceeds to give her a big wet smooch on the lips. She then turns and grins at us and goes back for a second huge kiss. Yes, she's never been shy...
Abbie: (Watching the city worker flush the fire hydrant outside our house) "But HOW can it hold THAT much water?"
Mama: "Oh, there are pipes underground that carry the water to the tiny fire hydrant, it doesn't really hold all that water, it just comes out through the hydrant."
Abbie: (awestruck) "Yes, but HOW can it hold SO much water, Mama?!"
Mama: "Yeah, it's pretty amazing..." (realizing sometimes you just have to appreciate the awesomeness of things as they look through a child's eyes)
We love you babies,
M&D
