Tonight, Charlotte and I were sharing an apple for our bedtime snack. One bite for Charlotte, one bite for mommy etc.

Me: "Wow. I just took a pretty big bite."
Charlotte: "That's because you have a big mouth Mommy."

Smart kid.

Charlotte does not walk anywhere. To get from point A to point B she will run, hop, skip, crawl or slide. Her practice of non-walking makes me very nervous when she is on the stairs. So, everytime I see her making her way to the staircase I feel compelled to tell her to be careful. Today was no different.



Me: "Charlotte. Please be careful on the stairs."

Charlotte: "Yes, Mommy. They are very stairy"

There is no preface to this story. Only, that my 3 and 1/2 year old is all grown up and that makes me so sad.

Charlotte: "Mommy. I don't want you! I don't need you!

Charlotte now goes to the potty alone. She has no problem getting to the potty or doing her business on the potty. It is the post potty clean up that needs improvement. So, occasionally we will check in on her to make sure she is following the post potty clean up routine. Today, Andrew poked his head into the potty to check on Charlotte and witnessed her post potty routine.......

Charlotte: "Look Daddy. I have a TOILET PAPER TAIL!"

Unfortunately, I did not witness this event. But, Charlotte later recounted her tale of the toilet paper tail in vivid detail. Enough said.

Charlotte had a wonderful Christmas. Santa brought her many presents. My favorite gift is a story book size copy of Charlotte's Web. She calls the book My Web. Just precious.

Last night Andrew and I were both craving a fancy coffee. Meaning the weather has turned cold and Starbucks now has their Peppermint Mochas and Gingerbread Lattes on the menu.

Me: "Charlotte. Would you like to go to the coffee shop for a treat."
Charlotte: "No thanks."
Andrew: "Are you sure?"
Charlotte: "Yah. I just want to stay home."
Me: "You can get a yummy cookie!"
Charlotte: "No, thanks."
Me: "Maybe Daddy could go to the coffee shop and bring home some treats."
Charlotte: "Yah. Daddy should go to the coffee shop."
Me: "Oh Charlotte. Great minds think alike."
Charlotte: "Yah. Great minds stay home."

I love my daughter. I got to enjoy a Grande Gingerbread Latte without having to venture out into the cold night. (Thank you Andrew.)
