Yesterday I said, "D-D, did you know that today is Nene's birthday?" (btw, Happy Birthday mom!)
"Yeth," she said. "I did!!"
"How do you know?" I asked
"Cuz I jess dew!"
"Wow!!! You are so smart, D-D!!!" I exclaimed.
"Hmmmmmm..." she thought. She actually did think this. It was written all over her face. Then she said, "Noooo, nnnnnope! Daddy ees the smwart one. Not me."
"You're smart D-D!...and you will get as smart as daddy, maybe even smarter if you will listen to and not argue with what we are trying to teach you and..."
"Mwommy?...." she says to stop my flow of moralizing and preaching to give me her take on the situation...as well as her point to end the conversation...
"I'd jess wather be cute!" she tells me.
I can just see how she will be if she continues on this route of thinking. Is she already getting blond...and will she just get blonder? :) Or has she really figured out in her little brain that being cute is better than being smart? So now I am wondering if there is a good way to tell her and that little 4 yo brain of hers that to be cute AND smart is the best way to go...I mean, have you seen me lately???
giggle, giggle. ha. ha. ha.
The smart one and the cute one.
