Making Magic

Dear Mackenzie,

I cannot with all the cuteness today!

-When I was brushing your teeth this morning, you said, "Mama, bend down! I want to kiss you!"

-When we walked home from school today, you not only walked the entire way without once getting in your stroller, you also kept telling me that can "make magic." You'd go, "Mama, I can make magic! See?" And then you would roll your hands around each other multiple times and aim them at, say, the grass and shout, "Grass! Grow taller! See? I made it grow taller!" When you made magic that made my legs go faster, I played along and ran down the street saying, "Aaaahhh! My legs are going too fast! Mackenzie, make them stop!" You did your arm roll and said, "Legs! Go slower!" It was the most adorable game!

-I opened up your backpack pocket to get a tissue for you and could barely find any because you have stuffed this tiny little pocket with two small stuffed animals, several bracelets, half a dozen stickers and so many other random items you have received from school. I asked if I could take some of the things out and you insisted that you "need" all of it. #futurehoarder

-When you spilled water on the foyer bench, you immediately got a tissue out of your backpack (I guess you don't have trouble locating tissues in your disaster area of a pocket) and wiped it up. Later, you told me that you wiped up the water so that no one else would sit on it and get their pants wet or put their backpack on it and get their backpack wet. Whaaaaa?! So thoughtful and considerate!

Love,

Mom
