Scary Smart!

Tuesday the twins made little people out of a plastic spoon at Tues/Thurs school. Cutter sat on my lap after school and told me all about them. He told me how his was blue and Cooper's was pink. A little later Cooper got them out of the bag and was showing them to me. I acted very excited and proud of their blue boy and pink girl. She then told me that the blue one was hers and the pink one was Cutter's. I said, "It is not." She said with a mischievous grin, "Yes it is." This went on for a while until I decided to set the record straight.
Cooper has been intrigued with spelling her name from a very early age and she can now spell her name and both of her brother's names. Being the logical mom that I am I turned the pink spoon over and showed her where it said her name. I then asked her, "What does that spell?" Cooper answered, "C-O-O. . (brief pause during which I could see the wheels turning). .C-U-T-T-E-R." When she finished answering she had a very scary grin on her face that I suspect we will be seeing a lot of in the next 16+ years!

They Start So Young

In Temple we just got a new Target. It is so nice to not have to drive 20 minutes to go to Target now. Unfortunately, with the new store comes a LOT of road construction. The intersection at I-35 and the loop is horrible! On our way to church we usually head west on Loop 363 and then go north when we get to I-35. The other day we were stopped at the light at that intersection and Cutter said, "Where'd the girl in her swimsuit go?" I asked him, "What girl?" "The girl in the swimsuit," he replied. Then, I remembered the huge billboard advertising some tanning salon with a beautiful young girl in a tiny swimsuit that used to sit just to our right facing the northbound traffic on 35. It was gone. My question is would he have noticed if it was some ugly old guy in a swimsuit???
