From the Mouths of Babes

This morning as I dropped Faith off at daycare I was telling Kathleen about something Faith said last night.

I was getting a bit frustrated with Faith, I was trying to get her to stop messing with some stuff and I'd told her several times and she just wasn't listening. I was obviously sounding a little crabbier with her when she says to me "No Mommy! You just have to be patient with me!" And then went back to what she was doing as I was laughing.

So, we had a good laugh about that this morning as we both wondered where she'd heard that from since neither of us thought we'd said it to her before. Then Kathleen was telling me that last week her daughters were watching Wonder Pets and Faith came into the room, crawled up onto the couch & says "Well, I didn't know Wonder Pets was on!" She just cracks us up!

Kathleen tries to remember all the funny things she says so that she can share them with me. She keeps saying she needs to write it down becuase she forgets stuff. I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE that woman. I am so glad that we were able to find such a great babysitter (and on such short notice, in a matter of 2 days) that is great with all the kids and that Faith really likes. And she has such a nice family. Her two older daughters play with the kids & her two young sons are great too. It's so cute, her older son M (that is Faith's age) and Faith play together real well, then sometimes fight but they always kiss & make up! And her husband will play with the kids when he's home for lunch and when he gets home from work. He's this kind of big burly guy and he'll get on the floor to play with his boys but he always plays with the other kids too. We are just so totally lucky! Every once in awhile Matt & I discuss moving (either to a small town about 15 min. from here or wherever) and my biggest objection now? That Faith loves her daycare and her friends and she would be very very sad to not see them anymore. Of course, now that we're buying a house we won't be going anywhere anyway!
