Where Ordinary Meets Mom
4 year old Delaney is always good for a morning giggle:
As she stands in front of me trying to work the clasp on a necklace, she says:
“I can’t do this! I need my glasses. I can’t see anything.”
P.S. She doesn’t have glasses. She does, however, have a grandmother who says those very words often. 
“Mommy, I don’t want you to die.”
(well, me neither)
“Baby, I’m not going to die. Where did that come from?”
“God told me.”
Hmmmm….. Is it weird that I actually find that a bit disconcerting? Clearly my “Baby, I’m not going to die.” is trumped by anything God has to say about the matter.
Oh…the things children say…. Three year old Delaney has decided she would like a sister. Dropped that one on Daddy yesterday and decided to push the issue with Mommy and Cooper at bedtime. Her reasoning? “If I have a sister, then we can put THAT ONE (pointing at Cooper) back.” Yep…wants one year old Cooper to head back (wherever ‘back’ might be!)
Of course, Cooper didn’t understand and Jeff and I laughed for a good 15 minutes, while trying to explain, in our most serious grown-up-can’t-keep-the-smile-down faces…Cooper is staying. He’s a real person, a brother, a son and a sweet little boy…and he isn’t going away.
And she wants us to have another one…huh?
