Things I've Learned from my Three Year Old

Seeing as how Hayley is almost not three anymore, (Sad!) here's some wisdom from her three year old brain:

• Sometimes making a friend really is just as easy as, "Hi, my name is _____. What's yours?"
• Milk makes you grow big and strong.
• When you are full, you should stop eating.
• When someone does something mean, you can get over it and still be their friend the next day.
• It's not nice to yell at people. (Even a three year old. Even if I'm frustrated.)
• Sometimes, you need a break from church. (Amen!)
• You can clean it up in the morning.
• It's okay to not really know why you are crying.
• A princess is kind.
• Sometimes, princesses take naps.
• Jesus used to be a cowboy. (Okay, fine. That one was from Lindsey's three year old.)

And she's got princesses and frogs on the brain:

Hayley: "I'm the princess and Daddy is the prince."
Me: "Hmm. Then what am I?"
Hayley: "You're the boss."
Me: "Really, I'm the boss?"
Hayley: "Well, you are just the boss of the baby."
Hmmph.

Jeremy: "Hayley, what do frogs say?"
(Thinking he'll get the response of "Ribbit!")
Hayley: "Kiss me!" (In a funny, deep voice, imitating Naveen.)

I just love my "hoppy" little girl!
