I believe I've mentioned a time or ten what a cool kid O is. I get to write a little more about her later (she turns 4 on July 4th!), but seriously the girl is stinking hilarious.
I really don't like to be away from her because those few hours of my life are boring, boring, boring. The way she carries herself, her expressions, her insights .... all keep me laughing.
Last night as I was fixing dinner, she wanted to 'help'. I sat her on the counter beside me so we could chat. I love to ask her grown up questions just to see what she'll come up with. She doesn't talk like a soon-to-be four year old. I'm serious when I tell you she talks more like she's 7 or 8, which makes the things she says even more entertaining ... she also talks completely random.
Me: "So, have you had a good day?"
O: "Yes. I did lots of playing and eating and drinking. It was fun."
Me: "Are you tired?"
O: "No, Mom! Stop asking me if I'm tired."
Me: "Sorry. (switching subjects) Are you excited about your birthday on Saturday?"
O: "Yes! It's going to be the greatest surprise party! Mom, don't forget to shut your eyes and have everybody yell SURPRISE, okay?"
Me: "Okay. Hey, I don't want you to be FOUR! I want my baby to stay THREE!"
O: "MO-OM, I have to grow up. I just have to. God says I have to."
Me: "Well, did you enjoy being three?"
O: (sighs and looks off in the distance) "Yeah, it was a good year. I learned a lot. Read a lot of books and played a lot of stuff. I can poop and pee in the potty, cut paper with my scissors and recycle."
Me: (wanting to crack up but sensing the seriousness in her expression) "Those are all grown up things. So, what do you think it will be like to be four?"
O: "I don't know. Maybe when I'm four I will spend a lot of time at the zoo or the fair or the mall or at Target ... but, I'm still not taking showers. Showers are for 7 year olds."
Personally, I'm thinking she's right on the money with spending time at Target. The zoo never entered my mind.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the words that come out of your kiddos mouths! They are so funny!!!
I love that one of things she knows she did was learn to recycle!!! Hilarious!
Dear O,
You certainly are going to be four. Maw Maw does not want you to get bigger either. I enjoy so much the conversations we have. I especially like the one when I was staying with you and I was sick with bronchitis and you came into where I was sleeping and ask me if I was sick, I said to you, yes I was and you said well, did you frow up. I said no and you said, well I did once, I frew up bread in my mouth and had to take a bath. LOL. You are my sweet girl and I love you so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS FOUR YEARS OLD
Maw Maw
