Making Music

Dear Mackenzie,

While I was helping you in the bathroom this morning, you informed me, "Sometimes when I fart, I make music with my farts."

Cool.

Love,

Mom

Hit and Run

Dear Mackenzie,

What Daddy said: "I'm going out to run errands."

What you told me: "Daddy left. He said he's going to run over Erin."

Hahaha!

Love,

Mom

Poster Child

Dear Mackenzie,

While we were in Paris this month, I took your siblings to the D'Orsay Museum while you had a daddy-daughter day at Galeries Lafayette. Daddy took you to the massive toy section of the mall and you two also explored the souvenir section. Unbeknownst to me, Daddy bought posters of my favorite cities in the French Riviera: Avignon, St. Tropez and Monaco. He wanted to surprise me, so you guys went to a nearby post office and he had them shipped back home. When they arrived today, he asked you slyly, "Mackenzie, do you know what came today?" Your eyes lit up and then you told me, "Mama! Do you remember when we had a Daddy-Mackenzie day and we went to the toy store? Daddy bought you posters! And then Daddy went to the post office and sent them! To surprise you!"

Daddy showed me the posters and said he's going to frame them and hang them up. I loved my surprise but the funniest part was that after you told me what Daddy had done, you ordered, "Kiss him! Kiss him!" Hahahaha! So cute! I love that you were in on the surprise--and I am very impressed that you kept it a secret this whole time!

Love,

Mom

On a Roll

Dear Mackenzie,

Me: Mackenzie, did you drop that blueberry on the floor?

You: It didn't want to be eaten, so it rolled away.

Breakfast Buddies

Dear Mackenzie,

This morning, I asked you if Daddy had gotten you breakfast. You said, "No, I wanted to wait and eat breakfast with you." Then you told me, "When other people do get me breakfast, I take tiny bites so that I can still eat with you when you eat breakfast. Because I like to eat with you." Oh, sweetie! I love that you cherish our time together so much!

Love,

Mom
