For Cami…
This girl…
..came down the stairs yesterday morning to announce that she had no underwear in her drawer:) What? Didn’t dad just do two days of laundry this weekend?
Me: Where are all of them?
Deidre: I think they are dirty
Me: How could that be, did you put them away the other day, or just drop them back into the dirty pile? (This happens more than I care to admit around here, and she is not the only culprit)
Deidre: I don’t know, but there are no clean ones in my room ( a small smile)
Me: Well, I guess you have a few choices… you could borrow a pair from Enoch ( maybe that will teach her) So I walked away to his room to fetch her a pair. I came back with a brand new pair of size 4T white tidy whities..
Deidre: No way!
Me: They are brand new, never worn, just out of the package, (because he refuses to wear them or pee on the potty anymore, But I digress)
Deidre: What’s my other choice?
Me: Well, you could go comando..
Deidre: Really? A smile across her face
Me: Is that what you really want? (Quick, what is another option? I mean WHO sends their daughter to school comando?
Deidre: OK that’s it!! Another smile
Really, what little girl in her right mind wants to go comando? In levis? The answer.. Deidre. I love her, but not really sure some days where she came from. She is full of life, and energy to spare. She loves a challenge and to compete with anyone for anything. She has this crazy code of dressing anyway, no skirts, or dresses, or anything that looks like it could be considered a dress or skirt. That is not acceptable. She has tons of friends, most of them boys, and loves her “man” teacher. This doesn’t surprise me, I was the same way.
Thanks to Allyson for freezing her toes off to take some pictures of her before she was baptized last month. Yes, I haven’t blogged for a while, hopefully it won’t turn into my journal that I have ignored for 11 years:)
