After tucking Miss G into bed tonight, she begins calling for us. Brad goes in to see what she wants…
Gracen: Papa, I want Mama.
Papa: But Papa’s here.
Gracen: I like Papa and I like Mama. Sometimes I want Papa and sometimes I want Mama.
Papa: And right now you want Mama?
Gracen: Yes.
Papa: (knowing this will continue until I come) Okay.
Gracen: I want you on Thursday.

Early this morning while cuddling in bed, Miss G was browsing one of my yearbooks from while I was teaching in Kuwait. She found my class’ page topped with my photo and asked…
Gracen: You are in your classroom here, Mama?
Mama: Yup.
Gracen: Where is Papa?
Mama: He’s in his classroom on the other side of campus.
Gracen: So we had a little babysitter for Grae, ya?
Mama: Well no, Love. You weren’t born yet.
Gracen: So actually I was just zero???

While down at the beach today, G begins to attempt crawling across the busy path…
Mama: Grae, let’s not crawl across the path please. Let’s walk.
Grae: What ’cause?
Mama: Well, because there are a lot of people walking and biking past and the cement is hard and rough. You’d probably make holes in the knees of your leggings.
Gracen: And then I no have knees anymore? I just have my knee’s skeletons?

Grae’s ability to communicate, express herself, and carry on thoughtful conversations is absolutely exploding right now. Not a day goes by where I’m not flabbergasted by the amusing things she comes up with and the connections she’s able to make. Here are a few quotes from today…
Mama, a mouse has a very, very small skeleton because it’s sooooo tiny, and a giraffe has a really, really GIANT skeleton because he’s soooooo big. What has a medium skeleton?

I love Grandma Sue because her feet are nice. Her toes are painted and I like them.

Fruits have seeds. Vegetables have no seeds. Chicken doesn’t have seeds, but it’s NOT a vegetable… So what it is then?!
……………………………….
(After I told her that I love her) I love you fooooorrrrever, Mama. Because I’m your baby.

While getting into the car after a particularly trying visit to the craft store…
Gracen: I’m happy! I’m a good girl.
Mama: Yes, baby. You’re a good girl.
Gracen: But Mama’s still feeling a little bit up-set though…
Mama: (nods)
Gracen: I LOVE YOUUUU!
Mama: I love you too, Grae.
Gracen: Mama still loves Grae Grae even when she’s up-set.
Yes I do, sweet girl. Always and forever.
