Confessions of a 4.5 year old girl

The Nugget will often cup her hand around her mouth and lean in to "whisper" something in your ear. Now the whispering is very breathy and quite audible. The latest whispering was this morning when I went in her room. She said "dad, sometimes I step in my trash can and sometimes my stuffed animals fall in there but I take them out. That's funny right?!"

Her trash can is next to her bed and she keeps it there to put tissues in (she keeps a box on her bed by her pillow lately). Apparently she falls in every once in a while.

Late afternoon leaf clean up

I could have finished a lot sooner but I had a couple of eager helpers. The reward was getting to jump in the big pile. I'll be begging for their help in 10 years only to find them not even remotely interested. So, I'll take the "help" while I can.

I want to see Henry

Henry boy says this often lately. Whether having a chance to view himself in a picture or video or if he just wants to see how he looks in a silly hat, his play clothes or in a costume.
