After picking up Princess from the bus, and Little Man from preschool, my kitchen quickly became the dumping grounds for coats, boots, backpacks, gloves, etc., etc., etc.
Usually, this drives me batty.
Today, however, it was ok.
See, as the spontaneous combustion of winter and school gear occurred, Princess (who generally does not readily participate in the "What did you do at school today" discussion), was ripping open her backpack, feverishly looking for something, while excitedly trying to tell me about the cool thing that was eluding her.
ME: Sweetie, what are you looking for?
HER: Hold on, Mom. I'll show you.
ME: Is it the math book you just finished?
HER: No, I made it in art class today. It's cool. But my math book is in here too.
ME: OK.
HER: Here's the math book.
(Still ripping through backpack)
HER: Here is a ruler with all the Presidents.
(Finally finds what she's looking for)
HER: Here it is! It's a necklace. And it has a guy on it. A VERY important guy. But he's not a president.
ME: Is it Martin Luther King?
HER (somewhat shocked I guessed it): YES! THAT'S HIM, mommy! Martin Luther King JUNIOR. How did you know?
How cute is that?

Very cute! No power play here at all. Just genuine pride in learning. I love it!
JUNIOR. Very important. What a little cutie.
In other news - why can't I find the link to "follow" your blog? Am I retarded, or did you hide it?
Hmmm....
P.S. Thanks for kicking off the new blog comments. When I think of a prize, I'll send it to you. :)
Mimi: I know, so cool.
