Sad day

We were walking to our car from the fireworks and Lauren was the only one awake. She kept telling me things and then all of a sudden said "I call you mom now because I'm a big girl. I'm not a baby that call you Mommy"

I can't describe how incredibly sad that made me.

4th of July 2010

This morning we've been watching "The Story of Us" on the History Channel. We were watching a segmentabout the Revolutionary War. Lauren pointed and said "Mommy, were you there." When I said No, she wanted to know if Grandma or Grandpa was there. She has no concept of age.

In my eye

We got pizza at a sports bar we used to go when we played softball in 2002. As usual, the kids wante to know who was there. I told Lauren that she was in my belly. Shannon said "where's me?" I told her that she was a twinkle in my eye.

She now comes up to me and says "Mommy, Lauren grew in your belly and I grew in your eye".
