Out of the mouths of babes...

My Kerrigan has the sweetest spirit. She is just precious. Tonight, she is up way too late, but no plans for tomorrow so I am just enjoying having some time with her alone while Quint and Kort are sawing logs. I try to spend some time with my kids alone when I can because I know they need that one on one time. Kerrigan and I have had some great conversations this evening. Here are just a few of them:

Kerrigan: When you have your hair pulled up, you look like Keri and when your hair is down you are momma.
Me: What about you?
Kerrigan: When my hair is up I am Kerrigan. When it is down, I am just KerrBear.

Kerrigan (holding a framed picture of me and Len at our wedding): Momma where is this bootiful costume?
Me: It is in the back of my closet.
Kerrigan: Can I see it?
Me: Sure, I will show it to you tommorrow.
Kerrigan: I want to see it now. You can just show me, you don't have wear it. (I had to laugh because my poor baby doesn't even realize that I would have to live on air and water for months to fit back into that thing!)
Me: No, baby, not tonight. We might wake up daddy if we got it out tonight.
Kerrigan: Where is daddy's costume?
Me: Well, he just borrowed his. He had to give it back after the wedding was over.
Kerrigan: Poor daddy.

Kerrigan: Lasterday (this is how she says yesterday) my dreams made me so sad. I had a sad dream about wishes.
Me: Wishes? Why does that make you sad?
Kerrigan: You know, cuz I am sleeping and sad wishes scare me.
Me: Well, you just need to think about happy wishes. What can you think of that makes you happy?
Kerrigan: My family. (How precious is this girl?)

And my favorite....
Kerrigan (palms out in front of her, fully clothed in princess attire): Mom did you know God is in your hands?
Me: He is? (I am thinking that she has been singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" by the way she is holding her palms out to me)
Kerrigan: Yes, cuz we talk to Him like this. (she folds her hands like she is praying) And He folds His hands too so He can hear and He is in heaven and He says thank you.
Me: What does God say thank you for?
Kerrigan: No, silly, WE say thank you to him for everything (pronounced eb-uh-we-thang)

I love that girl!
