27

Anniston has been into an "age" phase. She wants to know how old she'll be for certain things. For instance, I have braces right now, and she asked when she could get braces. I told her when she was a teenager she would get braces. She said, "Ok Mommy, so when I'm six I can get braces?" We're not quite there, but she's trying. She's also wanted to know how old we are, and how old MaMa and PaPa are, etc.

We were leaving the pizza place and there was this big gumball machine near the door. We NEVER give Anniston quarters to get anything from a candy machine. She doesn't care at this point. She's asked a couple of times, and we just tell her that we have snacks at home. So anyway, we're walking out the door and she spots this gumball machine. She looks at me and says, "Mommy, I will get to eat a gumball when I'm 27, right?" My response, "Sure, that sounds great!"

I love little comments like that! I just don't want to forget them all!
