The other night before bed, I asked Carrie for a good night kiss: Carrie: OK, but let’s have a marrying kiss! Me: A marrying kiss? What’s that? Carrie: You know, you have a marrying kiss and then you live happily ever after. …Do you think maybe I’ve let her watch one too many Disney movies? [...]
Sometimes I’m overcome with the need to freeze time. A picture is as close as I can get.
So today there was a substitute for one of Carrie’s swim teachers, a male lifeguard. At one point Carrie wandered away while they were in the wading pool area, and slipped. Of course the lifeguard picked her up very quickly and she was perfectly fine. After, in the locker room, I asked her what happened, [...]
Carrie: “I love you Mommy!” Me: “I love you too, sweetheart, but what about Daddy?” Carrie: “Well, I love him too, but, you know, not all the way up to my eyebrows.” — Me: “Carrie, what should we call your little sister?” Carrie: “Top!” Denis: “Ok, see, ‘top’ isn’t actually a name, it’s a word, [...]
Carrie: “Mommy, I can’t sleep, my imagination keeps waking me up.” Me: “Sweetie, those are just dreams, it’s OK.” Carrie: (thinks for a bit) “Mommy, you’re silly!

And with all the dialog and vocals she has memorized, I think she’d make a pretty good (although perhaps slightly [...]
Tonight at dinner, Carrie said, “Mommy, I finished all my green beans, can I have some salad now?” That’s just so not normal for a three-year-old. She’s decided to name the baby “Teeny”. So when I went to pick her up at preschool the other day she ran up to me, wrapped her arms around [...]
During rehearsal today (did I ever mention I’m accompanying Beauty and the Beast this year?) Carrie kept begging to go up on stage with the big kids. I had to promise her she could go up there when rehearsal was over. Partway through rehearsal, the director’s wife showed up with their daughter who’s right around [...]
When I went to pick up Carrie from school today, her teachers asked me if she had gotten a Webkinz for Christmas. When I said yes…but why?, they told me that they had gone around the circle and asked the kids what their New Year’s resolution was. Most kids said things like “I want to [...]
This morning Carrie came into our room about 10 seconds after Denis turned off the alarm and announced, “Mommy, I’m soooooo happy to see you! I missed you sooooooo much!” I suppose there are worse ways to wake up!
