Anna’s words:
“I think old sunken ships are so interesting. That’s why I want to be a mermaid.”
I realized I have a lot of quotations from Anna these days and not so many from other kids. I think that is simply because I spend a lot more time with her. I love that I still get her half of each day before she goes to kindergarten at noon. This morning she was drawing and I was trying to motivate her to clean up her room. A task that she despises. So, I wrote: “Clean Anna’s room” and then under the words I drew a picture of sad dolls and stuffed animals. (They were sad because her room was so messy.) My picture was so pathetic it made her cry. Who knew the power of a sad stick figure doll?
Last Saturday we were doing a little clothes shopping as a family. Anna (who LOVES clothes) and I happened to be looking at some girls dresses when we had this conversation:
Anna: I need a new church dress.
Me: Yes you do. So lets look for one.
Anna: I really do need one? I just said that so you would buy me a dress!
