Scarlett sayings

Just a couple of things Scarlett has said or talked about in the last few days.

-"Mommy, when are we going to take out all the dead trees and plant new ones with leaves?  That is going to take a long time because there sure are a lot of trees and they have grow bigger."

-I made cinnamon roll pancakes this weekend for Scarlett, Croix and I and Scarlett just finished up what was left over and says: "Mother, you make the best worlds pancakes!"....I get a kick out of when I'm called Mother.

-This one makes me sad but also happy at the same time.  As I was putting Scarlett to bed the other night she says "Mommy, I want a hug and kiss from my daddy because I miss him a lot.  I wish he didn't have to go to Afghanistan.  Does he have to go there again and again, I hope not because I miss my daddy a lot."

-"Sometimes the sun comes up to fast."

-The other morning I had to work on the computer while Zachary was taking a nap so I let Scarlett watch a show on TV called Super Why.  I guess one of the kids knew someone going to college and talked about it...I am a bad parent as I wasn't watching it with her so I really have no clue what they talked about it but this is what went down:  "Mommy, are you going to miss me when I go to college?" I say of course but then I look over and she has tears in her big brown eyes and trying so hard to hold them back.  Let's just say we talked about going to college verse not going to college and also community college options that are close to home as well.  She was much happier, just thought I wouldn't have this conversation with her yet!
      - later in the day: "Mommy, daddy works a lot, did you know some mommies work and some mommies like to stay home to be with their children and babies?  Well I am thinking I am going to go to the college close to MiMi's hospital then come home, do my homework, then eat a yummy dinner and you will stay home and yes that will be great oh yes!"


Scarlett: "Mommy, do people have more then one babies?"
Me: "yes, sometimes, it is up to them really."
Scarlett: "Mommy, I think your belly is ready for more babies, so the next day I want you to have three babies in your belly!"
   Hmmm, I guess she is loving being a bis sister buuut one at a time little lady and NO by belly isn't ready yet!
