Out of the Mouth of our Babe...

Ashlyn: Mom and Dad, I am going to invite 10 girls and 1 boy to my birthday party. Us: Really!? Your birthday isn't until April but who is the one boy? Ashlyn: Connor A. Me: Ahhh the boy who all the girls like in class, huh? Ashlyn: (complete silence) When did girls like boys in Kindergarten!? I didn't like boys that young! She definitely will have to invite more than just the one boy to the party or he'll feel very very left out. Another funny- Ashlyn: Mommy, how come you are throwing away all that stuff (papers) in the trash? Me: Because I am done looking through it all and it is now trash. Ashlyn: Is it because you don't like the things I make at school? Me: I love what you bring home from school, I can't keep all of it sweetie. I loved looking at it for a few days and now it needs to go in the trash so that I can look at what you will bring to me in the next few days. Ashlyn: You don't like my work. Me: I do, I promise but it piles up and I just can't keep it all. Oh my sweet daughter, I love what y'all do at school! I love that you want to keep it all but I am not a pack rat. I keep the things I know you spend lots of time on at school. It stinks when my daughter comes secretly down the stairs as I try to clean up the mounds of paper that is over running my kitchen counters and I try to throw it in the trash. She sure is becoming more and more cute as she blossoms from being in Kindergarten!
