Conversation With Sophie Regarding Her Glass of Water

Sophie: "Mom, I don't have very much water."
Me: "Yes you do. How much is in that glass?"
Sophie: "Half."
Me: "Right, your glass is half..."
Sophie: "Empty, Mommy."
Me: "Uh oh."
Sophie: "What?"

Three Things Sophie Said

Prayer before bed: "Dear God Thank you for the sky that it's always so bright. And thank you for the animals I see all around my town. Amen."

On the day of Henry's baptism: "Henry is so cute, and so mysterious."

On going with Lucy to the vet: "I do not mind if she goes ballistic. I will be brave of it."

(One of the Many Reasons) Ben is Awesome

Me: "So I ordered Sophie her kitty cat Halloween costume. I just hope it's not too big."
Ben: " Well, if it is, we can just alter it."
Me: (Since no one in our house has any sewing skills whatsoever...) "Who's we?"
Ben: "Us and our allies. A coalition of the willing."

{Laurie and Caitlin, be on the alert: A kitty costume may be coming your way soon. If you're on our side, that is.}
