A Christmas Review

Laura's Post:

Sophia to me this morning, BEFORE coffee:
"Well, that wasn't the best Christmas."

It's amazing any children make it to adulthood.

"Christmas Break" Break

Me: Mommy's taking a nap right now. She needs a break from all of us.
Sophia: Sometimes she needs a break even from her own husband...

The Season for Giving

"If you're missing stuff, check with Sophia first before you start looking everywhere. She's been wrapping anything she can find for Christmas..."

Baby Camel

Laura's Post:

It's a camel!
No. It's a pony.
It's a camel!
It's a pony. 

It's so small.
Yeh! It's a baby camel...

There is no zoo in Traverse City

Healthyish

I explained to Sophia why I wear a CPAP at night:

Me: ...so I don't snore anymore and I sleep better and I'm a lot healthier.
Sophia: (cautiously) Then why don't you...look...healthy?
Me: What do you mean?
Sophia: Uh. You're so...big.
Me: Okay, that's a different kind of healthy than what I'm talking about!
Sophia: (shrugs) Okay...

It's just my winter weight!

Sunday School Sinner

Teacher: Okay. When you're ready, you can sit on the blue circle.
Sophia: Did you say "sin"?
Teacher: I hope not!
