Silly Things Kids Do

• Find cute fotos like these on the internet and save them in the photo album on your iPhone.
• Want you to be upstairs, where the shower is, before they take a shower at night.
• Ask you to throw out a Raggedy Ann doll, bought circa 2008, because it looks creepy and haunted. [You do it. Even though you adored your own Raggedy Ann and Andy as a girl.]
• Talk affectionately to the hen and chicks cactus plant out front when you point out that a baby chick is growing.
• Say silly things like Hey little dog and Hey Bae many times a day to the shaggy Bichon Frise in the house.
• Wear deodorant before they really need it.
• Squirt the ketchup on their bread in a squiggly design.
• Not want foods on their plate to touch each other.
• Separate out the peas from the tortellini and count out 50 green orbs before eating them.
• Say things like "I have to step up my game for fifth grade," meaning style wise.
• Count how many miles away a storm is based on the frequency of rumbling thunder--a skill learned from a friend named Owen. 
• Say they are lactose-intolerant--as some of their friends are--and then manage just fine with a whipped cream-topped Frappuccino or an ice cream.

We love her little self. Good night.
