Last night when we were putting Meredith to bed (she comes with me and turns on the nightlight for Meredith)we were walking up the stairs and Melanie looked at me and said, "Mommy, I just love us," meaning our little family. It was so sweet I almost cried! And then, she was playing with Meredith on the floor the night before, and she kept running up to her and giving her hugs, and then came to me and said, "I just gave my best friend a hug!"
So, in typical Melanie fashion, she came up and plopped on my lap a couple nights ago and I said to her, "I can't believe you are almost 3 years old! Where does the time go?" and she looked at me, completely straight-faced, and said, "I think it goes in Magoober's butt." You gotta love her sentimentality....she must get that from her daddy!! From the mouths of babes....
