My sweet little 6-year-old cracks me up! When she was a baby she had a cute, plush butterfly play mat that has rattles, a flexible plastic mirror, and her name embroidered on the front. The colors match her room and as with many things that Mommy had put away in her "special keepsake box" it has found it's way out and up to her bedroom. This is currently living on the corner of her bed with some stuffed animals nesting on top. Tonight at bedtime, she asked, "Can I sleep on this tonight?" And I said, "No, honey - I don't think so - it's not very comfortable to sleep on." And she said, "But I don't listen a lot, so I'll probably sleep on it anyway!" That got her older sister laughing all the way across the hall in her bedroom. She also gets a kick out of her little sister's new, frequent excuse when she does or says something that angers her 12-year-old sister, "But I'm 6, so I don't know any better!" She must have heard that somewhere, but I swear it wasn't from me! She does make my heart smile though!
