Mommy/Daughter Date

Aubs and I had a date tonight.  A mommy/daughter date.  The kind where you don't really have a plan, but instead you just head out and see what strikes your fancy.  We ended up heading to a park first.  It was a new one she'd never been to, so definitely a "win" there.  When her tummy started growling, I let her choose whatever type of food she wanted, and she immediately insisted on Thai.  (That's my girl!)

As we headed toward our favorite local Thai joint, we spotted a huge field of sunflowers on the side of the road, and on a whim, decided to stop.  With my handy iPhone camera, we captured a few pics, which in turn captured Aubrey perfectly:  sweet one minute, and totally goofy the next!

As we chatted over our chicken pad thai (or "thai noodles" as she refers to them), I asked her some questions.  I remember doing this with Camryn several years ago...  Kind of an interview snapshot of life from a 4-year old's perspective.  The results?  Too good not to share!  Enjoy...

What is your favorite color?
A:  Rainbow

What's your favorite kind of cereal?
A:  The kind you only let me get on my birthday! (sugar-puffed anything)

What is your favorite thing to do with your sister?
A:  Eat candy when you're not looking!

How do you know when you are in trouble?
A:  Cuz of your face!

How do you know Mommy loves you?
A:  Cuz you say I'm your bug!

What's your favorite animal?
A:  Well, not an elephant!  Because I had a dream once that an elephant was eating my back, and pooping in the water!  (*Perhaps we need to chat a little more often about her dreams!??)

What is your favorite thing to do with Mommy?
A: Snuggle with you!

What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy?
A:  Eat cake!

God, I love that crazy girl!!!

Those time alone chats are always an eye opener.
