Divas

This is the work of Miss Addy Renee. She picked out these outfits the other night before bed for her and her sis to wear to daycare the next day. She dressed herself and Mace from head to toe.
I've been meaning to do an entire post on Addalyn and some of our conversations, but I keep getting sidetracked, and wouldn't you know it, I've forgotten half of the things I wanted to say! There are a few that I remember and want to remember forever:
Driving to daycare at 7 am the other morning, we passed the middle school that Joey and I went to (as we do every single day) and something dawns on Addalyn. "Hey, mama, if you and daddy went to that school when you were kids, it was a long time ago...so why is it called NEW Mark? Shouldn't it be called OLD Mark?" :-)
A few nights ago Addalyn was helping me make Belgium Waffles for dinner. As she is stirring the batter she turns to me and says, "well, did you have a good day at work today, mom?". She's 4! What 4 year old cares whether or not their mom had a good day at work?!? So sweet.
Last month my dad was over for dinner and we were trying to have a conversation in code so the girls wouldn't know what was being said. It was driving Addalyn crazy not knowing what we were spelling, so Papa and I continued our conversation like this and Addalyn LOVED it! Me: "did you watch the news and see that picture of the F-O-X?" Addalyn: FOX!!! Papa "I missed that, but I saw the C-A-T story." Addalyn: CAT STORY! Me: "Did M-A-C-E-Y finish eating yet?" Addalyn: MACEY! (I think you get the picture, but she thought it was so cool that she could crack our conversation codes. It went on for quite a while. So entertaining!
At the grocery store, Addalyn sees Mountain Dew and says "Mom, you better get some of that before daddy FREAKS out." I can't even describe that grown up tone of voice and body language she uses. It's hysterical. Where's my BABY?!?
