This afternoon I was making lasagna. Little A came in and told me she had to go to the bathroom. I said, "Okay, go ahead. You're a big girl."
She went in and attended to her business, singing the ENTIRE time!
"Twinkle twinkle little star, H I J K L M N O P."
"Open and shut them, open and shut them, give a little clap clap clap. Open and shut them, open and shut them, fold them in your lap."
"Toilet paper is so great to me, I don't have any soap. It unrolls and I love toilet paper...."

A few minutes later the kids were playing neighbors. Big A was going over to Little A's house. He knocked on the door and when she answered I heard, "Hi! I'm here! I brought my dog, my water bottle and these two bombs."
(Editor's note... While it sounded VERY odd, I knew what he was talking about. Last night we were at a silent auction and kids' raffle and Big A won some water bombs for the pool.)

They'd moved on to playing boat (I have NO idea, but they have the GREATEST imaginations!). One would get off the boat and go on a date with their boyfriend or girlfriend while one stayed on the boat, then they'd switch. At one point Little A climbed into the 'driver's seat'. Big A ran over and said, "That's not how you drive, you Little Twinkle! Is that what the GPS is TELLING you to do???"
Ahhh... I love my kids. I don't know what I've done differently today than any other day, but I've been told at LEAST three times what a wonderful mommy I am, and it's not even because they want something! There's something about hearing that from a 3 year old and a 5 year old that just melts your heart.
