Cute Caitlyn stuff

The other night as I tucked Caitlyn into bed after reading to her about the ocean abyss, she noticed date on one of the Christmas bears she was sleeping with.  It was one that Grandma Janis gave Emma so the year read 2005.  She went on to ask me how long we had Emma before she came.  I told her that it was 2 years and 10 months and that when she was born she completed our family.  Without skipping a beat she replied “well our family is complete now with Laura and the baby”.  My heart melted, I said "yes you are right”.   Just a little glimpse into her loving heart.  

As a mom, I sign off on many “official” things…school agenda, music homework, reading logs among other things.  From time to time, Caitlyn will fill in my initials on her music homework and I usually let it go because she indeed has practiced. This morning in carline drop off I told her that I forgot to sign off on her school agenda.  She said, “that’s ok, I can do it.”  I told her that was not a good idea to let mom do it.  She responded with “but why mom, do I not do a good job with your initials?”  So began the lecture on forgery at 7:30am.  :) I love that she had no clue, she just thought that I felt like her writing was not “good” enough.
