A few things that happen regularly in our house....to remind us that though she is mature in many ways...she IS still four.
Having a cold little hand touch you at 3 am, saying, “ Daddy, you know my name is Luigi” (goes back to bed..and right back to sleep)
Having her come to you and say things like, “ I want to save money and live better, too.”
(Wal-Mart’s slogan)
Having her come out of the bathroom with a dripping wet sponge…saying, “ I cleaned the toilet for you mom, so you won’t throw up.”
Lots of ice cream..crayons, and band-aids.
(Mommy) Falling unconscious on the couch from hours of Noggin on the tv…and waking up to being covered by a blanket. ( so sweet)
Being told 30-40 times a day that a different character loves you.. “Mario loves you mom.” “ I love you too Luigi”
Having to figure out exactly what she wants to eat.. “Avery, what do you want for lunch?” Um, something round, and yellow and red…ahh Pizza..okay.
Trying to explain differences in race.., “Mommy, brown people are brown because they eat too many potatoes.”
“ I can’t wait to go to my new dance class, so I can practice my skating.”
She is ahead of her time technology wise, because she thinks that she can hold something up to the phone and people can see it.
She likes to keep her door shut to her room while she is in it..but when the door opens..you don’t really know who is coming out of the door: She has been different characters daily for over 1 year now. She gets very offended when we accidentally call her by yesterday’s name.
