Honesty Is Always The Best Policy

While I hate traveling – I love coming home. Prayse is so chock full of things to tell me and while bedtime lasts twice as long, I never mind because we have some of the best conversations! As I came home Wednesday night and we were getting ready for bed (late) she just couldn’t stop talking about a number of different things, all in the same sentence

We discussed how she was reading to her friends – complete with a visual and her signature head cocked to one side statement, and she suddenly told me I had pushed Brynn and needed to go take a break. I informed her I would NEVER push Brynn! Brynn is my friend! So she started talking about everyone that had to take a break and for what. Then it dawned on me as I asked with a smile,

“Prayse, did you have to take a break too?”

(Dramatic pause – followed by a huge  two year old grin).

“Yeah.”

“Why did you have to take a break?”

(Signature head cock again – and another grin) “Because I hit Max.”

“Why did you hit Max? He’s your friend.”

“Well, he hit me. So I hit him.”

LOL! What am I to say to that?? Turns out she did need to take a break that day, but it wasn’t for hitting Max. She did hit him, but it was an accident while she was playing an instrument. I love how kids minds work – and I love her honesty, even if it’s not quite on point.

Enjoy some picture (late) of my little Valentine. I LOVE the video at the end – you can witness for yourself Prayse reading to her friends. She just glows in the limelight when all attention is on her. Wonder where she got that from? (Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, DADDY…)

Prayse’s fun snack at school during their Valentine’s day party:

Washing her hands… but looking cute doing so

Little Miss Brynn – she is so darn adorable. Her and P are the only girls in their classroom -  which is why they are rough can hold their own!

Playing at the Sensory Table (wish we had one of these) with her proclaimed “Best Friend” Alex (he’s the little guy right next to her – to her right, left of her as we look at the picture – that kid is pretty awesome!)

Picture of P reading (video is down farther):

What I like to call the “Mama Train” as I had three little boys all wanting to sit on my lap while P was reading. This was our compromise! Call me crazy – but I totally think I could rock at being a PreSchool teacher.

Random, non-Valentine’s day pictures of Prayse chillin with another BFF/Worst Enemy (depending on the MINUTE you are asking)

And finally – the video, which makes me giggle every time – she is so grown up.
