Thank you Mia & "Smart Cookie" Kaylee

Today, while at the grocery store I was thinking out loud and said, "ok, need to get cream cheese, choc. chips and grapes and we are done." (all great sale items of course. That is how I make my grocery list, take the add, circle sale items and go . . .problem is . . .) "Mommy, we need bread too, " Mia added. "Oh yes, we do THANK YOU Mia!" I was shocked at her processing. TWO days ago, when i made the last sandwich out of the bread and explained I need to get more bread. . . she deduces this. Seriously needed some too, would have forgotten. THANK YOU Mia!

Driving out of the parking lot, Mia tells me she wants to go home. "We will Mia, and then we will put away the groceries and get ready to go on the boat." I explained. "Mom, but first we need to go get our life jackets." Mia replied. Oh, and yes, we did. In fact, I went TO the grocery store today in stead of tomorrow - just to make the trip to grandmas, were we left the jackets, more worth the drive! Obviously I am loosing my mind, but if I recited what we plan to do for the day, my 4 year old can help keep me on track!

(I have told the story to several people, Mia has caught on, and is quite proud!)

Sitting in the boat with Kaylee, we bust out some cookies. I break one to share with Kaylee and naturally (since she is messier) give Kaylee the smaller piece. She hands me the piece I give her and says, "This is for YOU mom" hands me her small piece and takes the bigger piece off my lap! Smartie or crook? Hmmmm Two min later, we go for a second cookie. She eats her's down to a bite, I haven't touch my half. She hands me her bite left and tells me it is "for mommy" and takes my half off my lap.

Smart cookie, crook or trained by her daddy so mommy doesn't get fat??? :) he he Gotta Love kids!
