Naughty Nerds

Tonight, Smith was nice enough to share a box of Nerds candy with Laine. Laine had also spent the day with her good buddy Anna. She was so excited about her fun day with friends and Smith's act of kindness, she startled babbling:

"Daddy, I love Nerds and I love Anna . . . I love the pink and purple ones . . . Smith is my friend . . . he plays with me . . . Anna is my friend too and she plays with me . . . Dad, I want to go to sleep . . . Dad, Anna sleeps with nerds . . . Anna sleeps with nerds all the time."

Grandparents, Don't Take this Personally

Lainey and I recently had a conversation about Christmas. I asked her a series of questions to see what she could remember.

Me: "Lainey, what do you open on Christmas?"
Laine: "Presents!"
Me: "Who brings you presents?"
Laine: "Santa!"
Me: "What do we have (I meant, to eat) on Christmas?"
Laine: "I think cupcakes . . . and old people."
