Miss V ~ 4 Going On 14

Tonight, V decided she needed to draw a monster. When she was done, she informed me it was a Mr. Tickle Monster.

In the car today at a stoplight:

V: Do you use your right blinker to turn left and the left one to turn right?
Me: No. The blinker lets other drivers know that I want to turn. So if I'm going to turn right, I use my right blinker, and if I'm going to turn left I use my left blinker.
V: Do you have a straight blinker for going straight?
Me: No.
V: Why not?
Me: Because it's assumed that if I don't have a turn signal on, I'm going straight.
V: Do you have a turn signal on now?
Me: No.
V: So are you going to go straight?
Me: Yup!

She got mail!

V: 100 is my favorite number!
Me: It is? I didn't know you had a favorite number.
V: Yup. It's 100
Me: What's your favorite shape?
V: I think the coolest shape is..... a crescent! Because it's the shape of the moon.
Me: I see. And what's your favorite day of the week?
V: School day!

Reading the instructions to Uno Spin to make sure we're playing it correctly.

Learning to multitask - playing her leapster and reading her magazine at the same time!

If you've happened to gaze at our blog at all this evening, you may have noticed a change or two. I realized the ladybug background was no longer working. After a few trials and errors, I think I've settled on a design.

A stow-away!

Our conversation on our way to Birch Run:

(We passes a sign for Health Plus, their slogan, "We've got the plus")
V: Mom - they've got the plus!
Me: Uh huh
V: Do we?
Me: No.
V: Why don't we got -- why don't we have the plus?

Would make Jaja proud, and for sure makes mama and daddy proud!
