Chatter from Cherub

Four year olds are pretty facinating, don't you think? So many little thoughts brewing just beneath the surface. Here are just two little scenes from this week:
(Not so much hilarious or earth-shattering, mind you...just those simple "4 year old moments"...)

While the girls are watching the episode of Little House on the Prairie, in an episode where Almonzo finally realizes he's in love with Laura...there is a scene where the two characters are being rather shy and awkward with each other. Will Almonzo declare his love...?

4 yr old Cherub: "Say something, Boy...say something!"

and later, with a giddy voice, clasping her little hands...
"Ohhhh, I think they're gonna kiss!"

(The first phrase simply blew me away- where did this come from? And the second phrase...at four?? Already, is my baby is showing signs of a romantic nature? I'm in deep trouble...)

Then there was the statement just now...
4 yr old Cherub as she sat on potty: " Mommy, I wish I was a baby again. I just wish I had a diaper to go potty in!" (Yes, sometimes don't we all...) And minutes later... honestly, it was mere two minutes, tops...she walks back in using a library book for a cane, muttering,
"I'm an old lady...I'm an old lady..."

Hmmmm....wish she'd make up her mind! But then, I think we can all relate, can't we?

*And speaking of growing older (sorry Mom!) ...please take a peek at the post my Mom wrote about memories of her mother. She saw my NANA post and then wrote about her personal, first-hand memories. We're talking about the 1930's here...so if you like history, be sure to visit her site from time to time.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
