"Summer - whoo hoo!"


Yep, those were the words Little Miss uttered when I told her she had only one day of school left.  Spoken like a true middle
school-ish, young teen who longs for the school year to be over!   Where does this come from?  Little Miss loves school and yet she has already been corrupted by the world?, by her older cousins?, by the junior high doctrine that the end of the school year is something to celebrate with shouts of joy?  Ugh!  I prefer to believe she is simply excited about the summer ahead and I'm with her on that!  It is going to be an exciting summer for us!!




How is it possible that my baby girl has completed her first year of school anyway?  Little Miss had an awesome year with 2 wonderful teachers and 10 wonderful new friends!  She learned so much and had a ton of fun . . . I couldn't ask for more.

In order to capture a snippet of my ever maturing 4-year-old girl's current wit and wisdom, here are a few of her thoughts on some random stuff . . .

Mommy:  "Who is your best friend?"
Little Miss: "You . . . and K (friend at school)"

Mommy:  "What do you think Mommy does after you go to sleep at night?"
Little Miss:  "Sleep???"

Mommy:  "How do you do a cartwheel?"
Little Miss:  "Put your arms up, then touch them to the ground, kick up into the air and go sideways."

Mommy:  "When will you learn to drive?"
Little Miss:  "When I am 16."  (Wow!  She has done her homework on this topic!  And she's already preparing by backseat driving with questions such as, "did that guy cut in front of us?" and "why did you move over to this side now" as we change lanes.)

Mommy:  "Where would you go if you had a plane ticket?"
Little Miss:  "Texas! . . . to shop!"

Mommy:  "What do you enjoy?"
Little Miss:  "Painting, coloring . . . oh and writing.  I'm like an artist."

Mommy:  "What makes you happy?"
Little Miss:  "Playing with you!"  (she is a charmer!)

And another gem Little Miss recently expressed:
Little Miss:  "Mom,  where is the mail truck's license plate?" - asked as we are driving behind a mail truck.
Mommy: "Hmm, I don't see one.  Maybe mail trucks don't have a license plate.  I'm not sure."
Little Miss:  "Let's investigate that!"
