The Chirstmas blog is getting a little stale, not due to comments (thank you everyone), but until I have time to start something new, here is an experience we had ( and even wrote about) a while back, and for some reason I didn't get it posted. For the record......
I know I write often about the things she says, and I need to do better at including what everyone else says, but I guess she just consistently takes the cake when it comes to commentary. So today after we picked Brynn up from school we were walking to the car (we drove because we had to go to get haircuts after school). Anyway, today there was a motorcyle policeman patrolling the area. We hurried across the street to get to our car. I was holding Aaron, Abby was by my side and we went to open the passenger side door of the van, Brynn went to open the driver side sliding door and before she made it to the door, she heard the policeman from his speaker, "Get out of the road, get out of the road, get out of the road."
As I was buckling everyone up the officer came over to inform me that she was in the road with her back turned away from traffic, and that it was a very dangerous thing to do. I told him thank you and then leaned in to continue buckling, only to see Brynn's lips quivering, Abby's eyes wet with tears and her lips puckered up like a puppy dog. I told them it was okay, he was just trying to keep them safe.
Anyway, when we got to the salon parking lot a few minutes after the incident, Abby said, "Mom, I wish that no teenage boys in the woold (world) would ever decide to be policemen when they grew up."
She was 3 1/2 at the time and it blew me away that she took the nervous feeling she felt and concocted a wish about something I had no idea she even knew about. Since when do little girls understand that at some point a teenager has to make a decision about what to be when he grows up. Things like this continually keep me on my toes. I often think she experiences life in a much more complex way than I do because of how her brain works.

That is so funny! Kids will keep us on our toes. I need to be better about writing things down that they say. Abby you are a crack up!
