Catch-up on Maya-isms

Well, my poor blog has really suffered at the hands of Facebook. That's where I've started putting pictures, comments, etc. about our daily lives! But I really want to keep up with blogging too, since it seems more of a permanent record, and I eventually want to make a book out of the blogs for my kids.

Anyway, Nana Debbie pointed out the lack of Maya-isms lately, so here are a couple for those interested!

Friday I took the kids for ice cream after school, which they were VERY pleased about. Maddy said "Mom, you are the best mom ever! If I could pick any mom in the world, I would pick you!" To which Maya added, "Yeah Mom. Me too. Even if I looked at all the other moms, and they were really beautiful, and had lots of really beautiful necklaces and earrings and toenails, I would still pick you." Wow! Now that's love. :)

Today, when I picked Maya up from her Primary class, she ran out of the room shouting "Mom! Mom!! I wasn't mean to anyone! I wasn't mean to the kids or the teacher or anyone! Whoo-hoo!!" Not that Maya has a big reputation for being mean, but we have been talking a lot about being kind to others, so I guess that's how she interpreted it. To a bystander, it probably sounded like we set the bar pretty low in our family!
