This morning while we were getting ready for work and school and Hubby opened the fridge door to take something out, Kiddy#1 pointed to the fridge saying to me "Mom, may I have a sheep?". I was obviously confused as I couldn't remember putting a sheep in the fridge! So to make sure I've heard right I repeated "a sheep?". "Yes, may I have a sheep?" she said. That was the moment I started thinking about the sweeties that is lying in the fridge door, wondering if maybe there was one in the shape of a sheep, but couldn't think of any. Then the realization hit me... What my darling daughter actually wanted was a peach! She had one two nights ago and obviously got the name wrong. Just to make sure I asked "do you mean a peach?" to which she very proudly replied "yes!".
We have enrolled Kiddy#1 for an extramural activity at school focusing on speech and using the correct language, pronunciation and speaking with confidence. Ever since she started it I have picked up words and phrases she has been using which she didn't use before. Lately, I'm not Mommy anymore, I'm simply Mom. Every sentence she says to me starts with "Mom".
A conversation between us two nights ago:
Kiddy#1: "Mom, what's your name?"
Me: "My name is Marianna"
Kiddy#1: "No Mom, what's your name?"
Me: (Thinking very hard) "... my name is Mommy"
Kiddy#1: "Yes Mom, you're a big girl!"
Like a friend said, it is not every day you are being called a big girl!

You can be glad it was only a peach and not a sheep. What would you do with a sheep? Well, I know what I will do! Well, my little one told me the other day, she want a black dog. The funny thing? We have a pitch black Rottie! Can't get any blacker than that! Glad the extra classes are helping. Oh, and the Mom-thing. Mine only goes that road when she is trying extremely hard to twist my arm to do what she wants me to do.Kids! None the less, love them to bits.
