*Almost* perfect
Thursday, March 4th, 2010… … …”And LOOK, MOMMA! I drew a PICTURE of YOU and ME and DADDY and…OH, yeah, And DREW, too! And see? Here’s your CURLY HAIR and Daddy’s POINTY HAIR and Drew’s POINTY HAIR just like DADDY’S and MY Just straight hair. Why is my hair JUST STRAIGHT? I want it to be SHORT AND CURLY just like yours. If I cut my hair will it start being curly? And HERE MOMMA, this is where I drew my Flat Cat named SHILRODSAFG and she eats FOOD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I HAD AT LUNCH? GREEN EGGS AND HAM! Haha! It was SO FUNNY! But they were DELICIOUS! And I loved them! And YOU KNOW WHAT? Let’s play UNO when we get home! And then we can play CANDY LAND! And I can get the ice cream card and bzzzzzzuppptttt, go all the way to the TOP and BEAT YOU! And THEN, when Daddy gets home, he can read PETER POTTER. Hahaha! PETER POTTER! I know it’s really Harry Potter but PETER POTTER is FUNNY, Mom! LOOK MOM! There’s TACO BELL! Can I get those twistes with the sugary yummy stuff? And Errrr…ooooo….aaaaaadd. Ro-ad. Ro-ad. ROAD!

My 4 year old daughter…she speaks in Blog Speak. All Caps. Run-on sentences. Without stopping to allow any response on my part.
And…wooboy, she keeps us rolling around here. And I love her. So much that my heart expands a la Grinch and I fight back the tears as I bury my face into her hair (her talking The Entire Time, of course…”Why are you snuggling me so hard, Momma?”).
But Holy God, sometimes I would like a ‘Mute’ Button.
Or maybe just volume control.
But other than that, she’s…well…she’s perfect.
