I was waiting for Livia to turn 28 years old or so before saying what she said last Friday night. We were walking to the car after enjoying an evening of delicious Japanese food and My Neighbor Totoro with friends when Livia dropped it on me:
“You’re a good mommy.”
My heart about stopped. I almost fell over on the sidewalk before pulling myself together. “Oh yeah? Why do you say that?”
“You teach children to obey!”
My thoughts then ran from Huh! to Who is this child? to Awwww… my sweet girl.

Aww. How precious.
It’s funny what kids do/say way before they’re “supposed” to. Like Ellis my TWO year old, always goes to the driver’s side of the car and stands by the driver’s door when we go out to the car. And then gets all upset when I tell him that he can’t drive for another 14 years. Huh??? Like all of a sudden he thinks he can drive the CAR!?!

Well done, RT – will you teach me how to obey?

How completely sweet is that???
My daughter will hug me and say, “You’re the best mommy I’ve ever had!” Of course, I’m the *only* mom she’s ever had. ;) It’s adorable.
