Recently, we've been talking to Aubrey about the fact that soon, the Binky Fairy will be visiting our house. (For those of you who don't know, the Binky Fairy visits a child late at night, and collects all of the binkies that the child has "outgrown.") Last night, just after books, as I was tucking her into bed, we had a short conversation, and I realized that Aubrey is already one step ahead of me.
Mom: Pretty soon, the Binky Fairy will be visiting our house! She'll come and get all of your old binkies!
Aubrey: Hmmm? (While sucking steadfastly on said binky.)
M: Yep, she will come and get your binkies, and take them to little babies all around the world who who don't have any, and who are sad and need them.
A: My binkies?
M: Yes. Do you know any little babies who need binkies?
A: Yeah.
M: Really, who? (Anticipating the names of babies at school, or perhaps some of my friends' kids.)
A (straight faced): Aubrey.
Well played, my child. Well played.

Cirque Du Soleil
For Mom's birthday, the fam all chipped in and Beth, Lacey, and I took her for a girl's night out. We enjoyed cocktails, a yummy dinner downtown, and the Cirque du Soleil show, "Kooza." Wow, what an amazing show! The costumes were so ornate, and the the performers were so talented. I would never (ever!) have the guts to do some of those stunts. It was just so fun to get out and about, stay out late, and not have to cut up anybody else's meal for them at dinnertime. :) Thanks girls, for a fun night out, and Happy Birthday, Mom!

We spent our Mother's Day...
Soccer 2010
After a two week hiatus due to her ankle injury, Camryn was back in the game this weekend with her soccer team. It has been fun to see her interact with new kids, and develop team work skills this season.
The soccer part, though? Well to her, that's just secondary to the socialization and snacks, which is what I really think she's there for. She certainly enjoys her time with her team, but it's pretty clear that she's not in it for the competition. She just wants to be a part of the group, and have fun. And that's what it's all about anyway, right?
