Ainsley has really gotten quite expressive, which, if you know how talkative she was already, is really saying something! She amazes me frequently with the depth of what she understands. The following two anecdotes are not examples of this depth, but made me laugh.
On Monday, we went to the library in downtown Little Rock. It was about 5 PM, so I pointed out to Ainsley how much traffic there was coming out of the city and how little there was going into the city. I explained that people go to their jobs like Daddy, and at 5 o'clock, many of them come home. She told me, "Mommy, someday I will have a job like Daddy! When I'm 10, then I will have a job!" This made me smile, and I asked her what job she was going to do when she got bigger. She said, "I'm going to be a driver! You will sit back here, and Daddy will sit back here, and I will be the driver!"
Today, we went to the animal shelter to get city license tags for Misty. We went into the office, and I was talking with the lady about what I needed. Then Ainsley says for all to hear, "Does this place have lollipops?" (Incidentally, they did have lollipops, and she got one!)
Edit 5:00 PM I forgot this one that happened this morning: We have a little plastic slide in our living room. It somehow got pushed against the table, and Ainsley slid down it this morning. She hit her foot on the table and started crying. In the midst of her tears, the first thing she said was, "That's not a good place for the slide!"
