Every morning my 4yo tells me it’s a “blank day” because nothing good or bad has happened yet. At night, if anything remotely negative happened, she pretends to throw the memory into a garbage can to make room for more good memories.
So basically she’s already smarter than I am.

4yo: Can you read me one more book?
Me: No kiddo, it’s time for bed.
4yo: But I’m a curious woman. And reading books helps me learn things and be smarter. Don’t you want me to learn things and be smarter?

Me: A rainbow flag. It reminds us that there are lots of different kinds of people in the world & that we should love everyone.
Audrey: Well I already love everyone, so I WIN.

My 4yo just asked me if I was there when we went to Disney 6 weeks ago for 5 days, so I’m obviously making a huge impact in her life.

If you ever want to see how patient you are, watch a 4 yr old try to zip up their jacket. You should be canonized for sainthood after that.
