Kids say the cutest things

Today I was at a friends house and Carmen came up and said, "I hurt my back." I said, "Oh, no." She said, "Can you kiss it better." I said yes and picked her up and kissed her back about three times. She said, "It better now, thank you, mommy." SOOOO cute. Then she ran off to play. Beckie said she was so adorable and it kept getting cuter by the minute.

One time a my sister Pix told me that her daughter used to call fingers, "thingers". She never worried because this was the only word she used differently. Then one day she was reading and said, "Mom, do you know they spell thingers - fingers?" Pix said, "Isn't that interesting?" and never corrected her. I think that's funny. Kaitlin had a similar experience because she called towels -- tabbels for a long time. I thought it was cute. One day she was reading (she reads well for a Kindergartener) and read the word towels twice, the second time very slowly. She has been saying it correctly ever since. Mom (me) is actually somewhat sad about that. It means she is growing up. Oh, well.
