Alan: Mama needs to iron your first day of school dress before you can put it on.
Lillian looks confused.
Alan: She needs to get the wrinkles out.
Lillian, pointing to Alan's (very small) crows feet eyes: Wrinkles like these?

Last night, babies came up during our dinner conversation, as they do. 
Lillian: We should have a baby in this family
Emily:  No, our family is the perfect size as it is. We aren't going to have a new baby.
Conversation moves on and about five minutes later she says....
Lillian: So... When Daddy dies. And when Simon dies. We can have 2 new babies?
The math is pretty good for a 3 year old, but we still aren't having more babies.
I told her when she was an adult she could decide how big her family was going to be and make as many babies as she wanted.

She was so excited for her first day of preschool! She was ready 40 minutes before school started and then ran down the sidewalk, bouncing with excitement. She was so thrilled to be in Ms. Zairel's room. It was an excellent day.
