Deep Thoughts

Jerry, Anniston, and I were sitting around the kitchen table this evening eating a snack after she and Jerry got home from dance. Somehow the conversation led me into talking about not following strangers. Jerry and I talked about never walking away with a stranger, even if they seem like your friend, etc.

.

So then I started setting up several scenarios. I said, "You're at the park and a really sweet person walks up and tells you to come to their car because they have a beautiful pink balloon for you. But you have to go to their car to get it. What do you do?" Automatically she answers "Yes!" So I realize she's way too kind hearted, and trusting. We go on and on with different scenarios using various luring items (cotton candy, sprite, dora fruit snacks, toys, sucker, etc). She finally got the hang of it, and was then telling us how she should run away and scream. So we definitely made progress, although it did scare her talking about not being with Mommy and Dadoo.

.

So, we were about to say our prayers this evening. We were gathered around her bedside kneeling, and Anniston says, "Mommy and Dadoo: If somebody walks up to you and tells you to come to their car for some wine, what do you say?" Jerry said, "What did you say?" And then Anniston went on to repeat it. I had to turn my head because I was laughing so hard. I won't lie to you people....I love some good, fruity, blush wines. But I'm no "wine-o" by any means. Her little scenario cracked us up, and it was really sweet how serious she was. So of course we played along and said, "Yes". She said, "No Mommy, you run away and scream for your Anniston and Tresyon."

One more funny Anniston story (some day I'll have funny Treyson stories....he just has to learn to talk first!). When Treyson was little people would tell us he's cute, how sweet, etc. and we would respond, "Yeah, we think we'll keep him." So.....Anniston and I were showering one evening, and she is into rinsing every.single.body part. So I was trying to rinse my shampoo and she frantically says, "Mommy, I really need to rinse my ears. I forgot." So I stepped out of the way and she puts her ear up to the stream of water. It was so cute, so I looked at her and said, "You are so stinkin' cute Anniston." She got done rinsing her ears, and looked at me so seriously and said, "So do you think you're going to keep me?"

I just love the mind of a 3 year old!! So funny, and they have no clue how sweet their little comments are!

Oh, she is such a doll! I won't post a blog about her without a picture. Here's a couple of pics from dance from a few weeks ago. I had to take them through a double sided mirror, so they didn't turn out great. I'll take my big camera some day and get better ones!
