Yawn Medicine

Madison has a nasty hacking cough so I gave her some medicine this morning. Ashlyn asked me if she could please have some medicine too, specifically some yawning medicine. She was not able to sleep well last night and requested that I email her teacher and tell her she was too tired to go to school today because she "didn't rest well because of all the yawns" that kept her up all night long.

Three Year Old Love

Ashlyn gave me a huge hug and told me she loved me. Then she gave me a big kiss and wiped the wetness off my cheek as she said, "I love you so I wiped the crumbs off."

That's a thoughtful three year old to wipe the cookie crumbs off her moms face after a kiss because she knew that's what I'd want.

No Longer an Expat

I just walked past the car keys and the small pile of junk that accumulates there. I noticed two one dollar bills and a couple coins. My first thought was, "I wonder where that came from." Second thought, "I need to find my bag of US money and put it away." Third thought as I shook my head, "Or I could USE it because I LIVE in America now." Sometimes I still think I'm an expat. Hehe.

Ashie-isms

Out of no where she comes to me and says, "Mom, God made us washable." 

That's some deep thinking for a three year old but spot on. 

Yelling from the top of the stairs to me in the kitchen, "Mom, where is my sock?"

"I don't know," I replied as I continue to scrub dishes.

Hands on hips, "But you are a MOM and you said you know EVERYTHING."

I've been caught.

Right vs Left

Ashlyn asked "is this my left hand?" "No, it's your right." She had a puzzled look and said, "but my teachers right hand is on the other side than mine."
