She loves me...

I caught Alie singing a song she made up. Made me the happiest momma in the world!! She was singing "Mommy is my favorite, I love mommy the most (repeat)". Luckily her Daddy didn't hear her, I would have felt so bad. Even though she has her daddy's girl moments, she made up for it :P.

When I heard her singing that, I dropped to my knees and immediately hugged and kissed her. Told her that was the nicest thing she has ever said to me. Hearing your child say things like that, unprompted, makes all the naughty things they ever did, disappear instantly. It makes being a mom totally worth it!!

P.S. and yes, I'm still feeling guilty for the big time out she had for breaking the TV, but then it dried and wasn't broken. I guess the time out was worth it in the long run because she has yet to question my authority since then. If I mention time out or anything punishment wise, she doesn't argue, back talk, or continue being naughty. She immediately does what I say. Yay for that!! OH and she accidentally spilt a little apple juice on the table today. I walked into the room and she was cleaning it up with a napkin as fast as her little arms could clean. Another proud beaming momma moment!! She's listening to me, Hallelujah!!


Two more funny things she said today:

I asked her to get me a blanket off her bed (yeah I was being lazy). She huffs, "Give me a break!" She did go get it for me despite her distaste.

She wanted some yogurt for snack. I tell her to grab a straw while I was getting the yogurt. She cheerfully says "Comin' right up!"
