One Smart Girl!

Last night Spence was putting Lezlee to bed and she started to tell him about a boy in her Preschool class. Here's how the conversation went.....

Lez: Daddy guess what! Yesterday, my friend Preston left his blankie in the mailbox for the "Blankie Fairy" and in the morning he went to the mailbox and there was a baseball glove!!

Spence: Really?!

Lez: I want to put my blankie in the mailbox and then the Fairy will leave me something cool!

Spence: But honey, if you leave your blankie then you will never see it again. The fairy will bring you something cool, but you won't get your blankie back.

Lez: Oh..... (thinking...) Well maybe I could just put in a blankie that I don't like very much and still get something cool.

Spence: (Totally trying not to laugh at our conniving 3 year old) Well sweetie, the "Blankie Fairy" knows if you don't leave your favorite.

Lez: Oh man!

Seriously! Maybe all other 3 year olds are this smart and I'm the clueless one! But really, she can find a way around ANYTHING!!

Oh My Sweet Lezlee!

Lezlee and Lincoln were playing "Doctor" last night. It was very cute as they took each other very seriously. They came to the kitchen and asked if I had set up an appointment yet with the doctor and then told me that they could take care of that for me. It was sweet. So a little while later I asked Lezlee if she wanted to be a doctor when she grows up and she said, "No." So I said, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And she didn't even hesitate when she said, "I want to be a mom. I want to be a mom just like you, Mommy!!" Oh it was so sweet! It made me feel like I might be doing something right sometimes. There was something in her tone that made it seem like she thinks it is a great thing to be a mom and I am so thrilled that she thinks that! If I can teach her one thing about myself it is that I LOVE being a mom! I want my kids to know that every day of their lives..... that being home with them is exactly what I want to be doing!
