I'll never understand

Bree's school had an open house and Scholastic Book Fair last week.  As I remember going to book fairs when in my school years, I made sure my schedule was clear so we could attend and Jim, who has been working a lot lately, made sure he was home in time to leave with us at 6:30pm.  After an hour of touring her classroom, buying Jacob a new book for Christmas and eating a snack, it time to leave.  In all the Fall glorious-ness, we head out to the parking lot at 7:30pm in almost pitch black.  To which Bree turns to Jim and says:

"Thanks for letting me stay up past dark, Dad."

Why do dads get all the credit?? 

Hello, My Name is...

Anyone who has ever been around children knows when a child is truly excited about something.  You hear the pride in their voice as they are trying to tell you their accomplishment.  Thus was the case of today.

"Momma, Momma!  I just wrote my name!!"

I couldn't bring myself to correct her today which may lead to a problem or two in the future but she was just so darn proud of herself.

And on another Bree quote...

Bree and I were reading a Dora alphabet book where you have to find a picture for every letter of the alphabet.

We found an apple for 'a', and a book for 'b' when Bree was very quick at adding:

"Booger starts with a 'B' too!"
