catching up

Today while I was playing dolls with Paige, she chose one with
particularly messy hair and then messed it up further. She then
proceeded to tell me that we could call her "Crazy hair princess" and
that she was the doll I was to play with. She further explained that I
needed to play with her because I have crazy hair too. I went and got a
haircut this afternoon.

We were sitting at lunch when Paige suddenly exclaimed, "Mommy, you
don't have that owie anymore!" (referring to a small cut I had on my
chin about 2 weeks ago) I responded that my body had fixed it right up,
and thanked her for "looking out for me." to which she matter-of-factly
replied, "No, I'm not looking out for you. I am not an angel."

The other day I gave Paige a fruit leather after school on the way to
the library. When we were leaving the library, Paige began to ask for a
snack. I explained that we already had a snack and Paige became very
insistent. I reminded her about the fruit leather to which she replied,
"That's not a snack.....that's a taster!"

We were sitting at dinner the other night when Chloe proclaimed, "Can
you please move these pita chips to the other end of the table so I
won't be so eager to eat them."
