Today was such a pretty day so Zale and I decided to take the girls to the park. But the park was packed (they don’t do really well in that kind of crowd) so we ended up at the McDonald’s play place. Which was almost empty, because everyone was at the park. Reagan was sleepy and a bit cranky and Hannah wasn’t really playing much anyway. So we decided to pack it up and head home.

When I told Reagan it was time to go she immediately voiced her displeasure in a not so quiet manner. She was stringing some words together (with a scowl on her face), but I couldn’t quite make them out. We finally convinced the girls to go home and ride their bikes. I was still trying to figure out what Reagan was trying to say when we got in the car. As often happens, I asked Hannah if she knew what Reagan was saying  and of course she knew. Hannah said, “She’s saying that you’re ruining her life.” I couldn’t believe that was coming from my 2 1/2 year old’s mouth, but I asked Reagan if that was what she was saying and she confirmed it was.

So then I ask Hannah where in the world she learned to say that, and Hannah replied that it was from a new Barbie movie that my Mom and step-father bought them this weekend. My first thought was to burn the movies, but then I decided to reason with her instead. Why? I don’t know, I guess because for a brief moment I forgot that you really can’t reason with a 2 year old. She finally did stop saying it, but I’m quite sure we’ll hear it again sometime! I was just hoping it would be at least another 10 years!

Tonight it was Hannah’s turn. While they were taking their baths Hannah asked Reagan if she wanted to get married. I explained that sisters couldn’t get married, and that they weren’t allowed to get married for at least 20 years. Of course Hannah said they were just pretending. I went on to tell her that I hope she finds someone as wonderful as her Daddy to marry, but that she needed to marry whoever God put in her life. She said, ” so not Ethan?” (Ethan is her 5 year old friend from church and our families are very close). I told her that if Ethan was who God wanted her to marry then it would be fine with me….just not for another 20 years or so!

You just never know where the day is going to take you…I for one didn’t expect to be having those conversations with my 2 and 4 year old! Can’t wait to see/hear what they’re going to do and say tomorrow!!!
