This sums up Carley

This story really sums up my daughter these days:

Last night Cody was bathing Carley and she was playing with the duck that is dressed like a firefighter. He asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said, "A Christian Mommy". This of course melted Cody's heart (and mine) because it was so sweet. It also sums up how random she is with her vocabulary. I have no idea where she learned the word "Christian". I am guessing Bible class. It was just so funny. We kept going on and on about how sweet it was that she said that and that we prayed she would be a Christian Mommy one day.

So a few minutes later I am trying to comb through her wet tangles and curls and she is crying because she says it hurts. (It didn't) She got really mad at me. So she looks at me, throws her comb and says, "I don't want to be a Christian Mommy, I want to be Christian Daddy!"


This is basically her way of telling me she likes her dad better than me now. So funny.

Speaking of Carley and her Daddy, Cody took her to Toys R Us last Saturday while I was at a Ladies Day at church and bought her some princess jewelry. She thought she was pretty special.
They have been really close lately and it makes me SO happy. Cody has decided to start taking Carley on weekly breakfast dates to McDonalds.

Here is what I love most about these dates:
1. Cody thought of the idea without any nudging from me.
2. He pick a weekday when I am at work to do this. He plans ahead, he schedules around it, and he makes it happen EACH WEEK
3. I am not invited and they both make that clear.
4. He lets Carley sit on the booth next to him (and not in a high chair or booster seat) so they can cuddle. I wish I could be a fly on the wall.


Aren't we thankful for good Christian Daddies??
