Love never ending

Me: "Annie, I love you so much."

Annie: (slightly irritated) "Mom, why do you always tell me that? You tell me every night at bedtime. I already KNOW that."

Me: "Well, I don't want you to ever forget it!"

Annie: "I won't! Hrumph."

Adacadabra... Or something like that

Annie's vocabulary is expanding by the second. She's continually surprising me with new 'big girl' phrases and words. She's also brought home some not-so-nice words like butt, stupid, shutup - and the latest one last night was 'dumpy head'. I'm not certain where that one came from or what it means, but when it came out during bathtime last night, she and I both knew it wasn't a nice thing to say...or in this case sing!

So after some redirection, she was singing new songs (composed by Annie herself) about her day and how much she loved me and bathtime and her friends and boys.... What? You heard me. Boys. OMG. My five year old is a tween.

So abracadabra (or adadacabra as Annie says), I have gone from preschool parent to having to really pay attention to what comes out of Missy Moo's mouth!

What's next? She'll probably ask for an iPhone so she can tweet.
