As I See It...Police Officers N' Cheese

Today, Allyson and I (Kristen) had a pleasant lunch together at home, while Natalie was peacefully sleeping. We dined on Mac n' Cheese and were about halfway through the meal when I tuned in to Ally's babbling. (Don't think I'm a bad mom, she just talks so much that I often allow my mind to wander...) She was declaring that her Mac n' Cheese bowl was the building where the police officers' cars go. Oooookay. Here's how the conversation progressed.

Mom: So where are the police officers?
Ally: The Mac n' Cheeses are them.
Mom: The police officers are the noodles?
Ally: Yeah, they're dressed up like noodles.
Mom: Oh, dressed up like noodles.
Ally: Yep.
Mom: Do police officers like to eat mac n' cheese?
Ally: (thinks for a few seconds) Nope, they're allergic to mac n' cheese.

Just a glimpse into the conversations that develop with a nearly 4-year-old...

Another quick note...Tonight was "Daddy night" at Ally's preschool. All of the Dads went to school with their child and they did a craft, sang songs, and ate treats. As they were getting buckled into the van to drive to school, Ally told her Daddy, "You're gonna behave, right?" That's my girl!

February 11 Photo Update

Here are a few more pictures of our girls.

I think I will just admit to the reality that I do not have time to do that many updates to this site at this time, so we will try to get some photos up and an occasional video as time allows.

When the pace of our lives slows down a little, we will start updating more frequently again.

For now, enjoy the photos.
