Conversations With A 5 Year Old

Last night, Morgan was already eating at the dinner table when I sat down with my plate of food and glass of tea. She was sitting across from me, with her back straight, properly holding her fork and her head held high. With a prim and proper look on her face, she looked at me and said, “So mom, how was your day?” A smile spread across my face and I let a giggle slip out. This made her cutely smile but she quickly recovered and stayed in character long enough for my reply.

I can’t believe that was a conversation I was having with my 5 year old. She floors me. She loves to do this English accent and she’s surprisingly good at it. I’m horrible at accents and don’t understand how she picked up one so easily or accurately. She brings joy to my soul.

This morning I dropped Charlotte off at daycare and then drove to Morgan’s school to drop her off. In between dropping off Charlotte and dropping off Morgan, for whatever reason I asked Morgan if she wanted to have children some day and if she was going to drop them off at school too. She happily said yes and said she wanted a girl OR boy. I liked that thought. She continued to say in a very adult tone, that she’d have to pick out a very good daycare for them to attend. She said maybe they could attend the daycare that Charlotte goes to and then they could go to the same school she currently goes to. She went on to say that she’d enjoy saying hi to Kaycee (the current daycare provider) as an adult. I feel honored to get to share her thoughts.
I still look at my girls with amazement and can't believe Daniel and I made these two little people.
