So, being a mommy is THE BEST thing ever. A close second? Being an aunt to some of the coolest nieces and nephews on the planet. I love them all so much and I am thankful that my girls are growing up with great family! I grew up with some awesome cousins and I'm happy that God has blessed me with who He has.
Now, my kids say and do some of the funniest things, and there are times when I receive a text from my brother or one of my sisters-in-law that has me in stitches over something one of their kids says or does. That being said, I received this text last week from my brother about my 3 year old niece that watched him change my 2 year old nephew's diaper (My 7 year old, Jessalyn, was there also):
Joey says: Changing Tucker's diaper, Preslee walked over and said, "Is that a long tootie? I want to have a long tootie! Jessalyn, Tucker has a long tootie, do you want to have a long tootie?" Jessalyn said, "Preslee sit down."
We all got a good long laugh out of this text and Joey told us that Preslee was dead serious as she was saying this. Two days ago, my brother's wife Cassey wrote me to say:
Preslee: "Why don't I have a long tootie?" Cassey: "That's the way God made your tootie." Preslee: "I don't want God to make it. I wanted to Jesus to make it and I wanted it long!"
They are taking their two girls to Disney World next week and I told Joey that Preslee was going to be so excited! He said, Yeah, maybe it will take her mind off having a long tootie. LOL

Surveys :)
So, one of the cutest things that I am glad I started so many years ago is asking my girls the same survey every couple years. I first asked Jessalyn when she was 3 years, 5 months old. I just asked Mattilyn her first survey and coincidentally enough she is 3 years 5 months old! This makes me very happy :D
I am going to try to post both surveys on here so everyone can enjoy these as much as I do. The second survey I asked Jessalyn was just before she turned 6, so now that she is almost 8 it is time to ask her again. These just really make this mommy smile!
Since I don't see how to attach a word document, I will copy and paste the whole survey for each girl at age 3 as well as the one from when Jessalyn was almost 6. This might get a tad long, but to me it's worth it :)
