A Conversation

Delaney woke up from her nap today and came out to find me all cozy on the couch. She quickly climbed up next to me and said, "Mommy, get me cozy too." So I covered her up in our blanket and turned on Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas. Brody was still sleeping so it was just the two of us...for like 45 minutes. She asked me for a snack, I asked what she would like, she told me she would like some 'chocolick milk and a nola bar'. I fetched her snack and sat down next to my 3 year old daughter and just stared. I couldn't believe how fast these past three years have gone. I was just staring at her hair, that is now almost to her butt, her eyes, that have the shape of Eric and Kaylie's but are the color of mine and of course, her gloves were on her hands and dancin' shoes on her feet... and I was in awe.

She quickly snapped me back into reality as she said, "Mom... why are you just looking at me? Watch Mickey Christmas". I turned my attention back to the movie and Santa was on at this point. Here is how the rest of the conversation went.

Delaney:  "I want to sow Santa and Mrs. Claus my gloves."
Me: "We can't right now, he is at his house in the North Pole. We will see him next month."
Delaney: "Oh. Okay. When I see him I will show him.
Me; "That sounds good. What are you going to tell him you want for Christmas?"
Delaney: "Um....probably a helicopter."
Me: "A helicopter?"
Delaney: "Yep. Like one for kids not big ones probably."
Me:" Okay..... what do you think Brody wants?"
Delaney:" Um... he really wants a monkey."
Me: " A monkey, huh? What kind of monkey?"
Delaney: "You know...a black one. A black monkey that says ee ee oo oo and poops and farts"
Me: "Lovely..."
Delaney: "I really want to tell Santa now."
Me:" Well, you can't now, but we can next month."
Delaney: "No Mommy... you don't talk to him only me and Brody. You have been bery, bery naughty."

I know this probably doesn't interest anyone, but I really want to remember it:)
