And the Oscar goes to…

IMG_8485 Toy Story:

Amaya woke me up at 3am a few nights ago with a very urgent whisper:

“Mommy, I have to tell you something. It’s important.”

I immediately woke up and said, “What is it?”

“I’m going to college and I’ll need someone special to look after my toys.”

The next day she was looking at a picture of the two of us and she said, very seriously to herself, “I’m going to miss you so much when I go away to college” and stroked the picture lovingly.

Kipper:

On her birthday Amaya started developing an English accent. Every question ends with an inflection. And R’s have lost their harshness.

Ruby and Max:

“Ruby, tell me that it’s time to go to bed,” she says.

“It’s time to go to bed,” I reply.

“Say, ‘It’s time to go to bed, MAX.”

And this goes on for hours.

4-year-olds are all about drama.

Can she have grown up that much in such a short time? I missed her birthday (as usual). I miss her (and you).

Cute post and even cuter little girl of yours. May her year between 4 and 5 be full of more fun quotes from Amaya! I'm going to miss her and will be checking your blog for updates all the time!
