The following conversations took place within the last 24 hours:
Mila: Mom is so good at reading minds.
Ben: What do you mean?
Mila: I was pretending to have a water bottle stuck to my face and she knew I was just pretending.
Ben: Wow.
Mila: That is ONE smart lady!
(Amen)
Mila: Why do you and Mom stay up and have dates watching tv after we go to bed?
Ben: Because we love each other and like to spend time together.
Mila: Love makes you do CRAZY things!
(That it does, Mila, that it does)
Mad me: Mila, you forgot your backpack!? I guess we have to turn around! You need to remember your own stuff! I can't do it for you every day!
A few minutes pass...
More calm me: OK, you stay here and I will run in and get your backpack, ok?
Mila: Mom, did you let go of the anger?
(Uh-huh, yes, of course--wha??)
There. Just a little glimpse. Stay tuned...

I still refuse to believe that Mila is a big girl! Can't wait to see you soon!!!! Glad you let go of your anger.
Are you one of those, "Don't make me turn this car around!" Moms. I sure hope so.
Seriously though....how did you know the water bottle wasn't stuck?
cutie!!! sounds like she's on her way to a degree in psychology or something.
You are a mahvelous mother, Hailey...
I am soooo looking forward to seeing my G-babies again...
They are definitely priceless...
I have an addendum to this blog:
Yesterday when Ben was struggling to get Ethan dressed, Mila says to me, "It sounds like Daddy is not having the time of his life right now!"
Dirty Dancing, anyone?
