Funny Girl

I don't have any pictures to post right now. I just wanted to update with a few funny things that Ashlyn has said or done lately.

First, her favorite new book is "Goodnight Moon". She asks me to read it every night. She likes to point out the different objects. Her favorite are the "tars". It's too cute!

Next, my daughter is too sweet for words. I tell her at least 100 times a day that I love her. She has started to say, "I love you too Mommy!" Then I say, "I love you more". She responds with, "I love you more Mommy." I say it again, and she finally shouts it as loud as she can. I LOVE it!!! It's very sweet. Today on the way home from daycare, she was holding her beloved Ariel doll. She says to her, "My Ariel is so pretty. My dolly is pretty. I love her. I love her!" It melted my heart! She is just talking soooo well. She amazes me once a day with something she says. Today we heard the garage open. I asked her who it was. She said, "It's Daddy. Let's go check though Mom." It cracked me up!

Since Ashlyn was born, I have thought that she was a lot like my sister. She is very sensitive and kindhearted like my sister. One story that we never let my sister live down, is when she saw the movie "Bambi" as a child. My sister was so upset that Bambi's mom died that she cried for days, literally days! Nothing my parents could would get her to stop crying. Well, Ashlyn had a similar experience the other day. One day before school, Joey decided to play the movie "Lassie" for Ashlyn. She loves animals and he thought she would like it. She really enjoyed the movie and liked it at first. Well, as usually Lassie found herself in some pretty scary predicaments. Of course Lassie was always okay, but poor Ashlyn didn't know that. She started to get very upset. At the end, Lassie gets lost in a river. Ashlyn became hysterical at this point. Lassie reappears a little later, but Ashlyn was inconsolable. Joey was late for work because she was so upset. The funny thing is that she wanted to watch it again that night. It is her new favorite movie. Once she knew Lassie was okay in the end, she is totally fine with it.

I will try to get some pictures up at some point. Like usual, it will be a busy weekend with an even busier week ahead so we will see :)
