I don't know how the conversation got started, but I overheard Laura tell her Daddy that she kissed Austin in the playground tunnel today.

Daddy: Did you kiss him first or did he kiss you first?
Laura: He kissed me first.
Daddy: Why did he kiss you?
Laura: Because it was a sweet thing to do.

How to Outsmart a 4 year old

True conversation heard in my house:

(Daddy is getting ready for work in the morning.)

Daddy: Laura, what time is it?

Laura: No, no! I want strawberry milk first!

Daddy: Oh, so it's 9:00.

Laura: No, it's 7:15!

More things out of the mouth of Laura

Yesterday, she was looking a at a baby picture of herself. In the picture, she's asleep and has her finger up to her nose as if she's deep in thought -- like a librarian shh'ing.

Here's our convo:

Me: What are you doing in that picture?

Laura: I'm thinking.

Me: What are you thinking?

Laura: That my Daddy is great...

My Dad

My Dad passed away suddenly in the early morning of March 31, 2008.

He was a good man. I love him so much. It's really hard to accept that he's no longer here.

I'll be blogging some memories of him in the future. Can't do it right now without crying all over the keyboard.
