Daring Young Mom

Laylee was playing Polly Pockets with a grownup friend the other day.  I wasn’t around but here’s the way I heard it went down.
Laylee:  This dress is beautiful.
Marge:  Yeah.
Laylee:  But it’s not modest.
Marge:  Hmm..
Laylee:  Should she wear it?
Marge:  I don’t know.  What do you think?
Laylee [carefully considering]:  I think she should wear it.  There’s no [...]

It’s that time again.  February is almost upon us so it’s time to Share the Love.  Go on over and nominate someone you love today.  I’m excited to find some new reads.  (I’m ineligable due to your ridiculous kindness last year.)

Also, today at parenting.com I’m talking about my addiction to having babies.  How do [...]

I was recently babysitting for a friend’s daughter, an adorable little 2-year-old elf who can spell her 3-syllable last name perfectly.   She reminds me of a corporate executive in miniature with bulbous pig-tale buns, marching around the house and calling me by my last name. 
“Thompson!  Excuse me! What does this toy do?”

-So, um, yeah.  I just stopped by Costco and happened to take this picture.  No I did not photoshop it.  That is my real parking spot!   AHH!!!  I know.  The best day ever.  I’ve still got it!
-Fairies are invisible and magic and their names are Laylee.  They wear very little in the way of clothing.  [...]

…In the hours that followed, many people came to visit, passing the boiled-looking newborn around, cooing, and crying tears of joy while I shoved my face full of broccoli. Family members were careful to only take pictures of the baby if I could be seen in the background cramming food down my throat with a [...]

When Magoo asks for a geek, I get him some jews.
When my friend’s daughter asks for her hippy, she prefers the valveless variety with no handles.
This morning Magoo is dining on jews, chi, and faffles.
What are some of your favorite childish mispronunciations?

Being shot down by a three year old who’s almost 4 but still 3 but almost 4 but still wears pull-ups to bed so I’ll call her 3 is too funny to be painful.
Every night at bedtime she gets to pick 2 songs for Dan and me to sing.  Sometimes they’re church songs.  Sometimes she [...]
