A message for Grampa

This evening my daughter caught my dad reading a book on how to create an HTML web page... he's been working at it for about a week now... she asked him what he was reading and when he explained to her that he was trying to learn how to create a web page for the internet, she told him that he was old and out of school, so he didn't need to learn things anymore.

His response to her was that you should always keep learning new things, no matter what age you are... cuz if you stop learning things and stop keeping your mind active then it won't be long before you start forgetting things... and then you'll start getting stupider and stupider. (LOL, my dad has such a way with words!)

At this point I'm expecting my daughter to start complaining about how NOW she has to keep learning even after she gets out of school... (she's been complaining that summer wasn't long enough and she doesn't want to go back to school... her favorite phrase being "I can't wait til I'm a grown up and I don't have to go to school anymore") but she surprised me with her response.

She said "Well Grampa, then I better leave you alone so you can keep reading and learning from your book. You don't need to get any stupider"

LOL She's FIVE!!

Out of the mouths of babes

Yesterday, while my daughter and I were out doing our personal errands - getting our last minute school supplies and picking up dance class stuff - my daughter was in the backseat singing along to her favorite Veggie Tales CD, when suddenly she said to me "Momma, did you know that my love for you is unstoppable?? Nothing is ever going to make me stop loving you"

talk about getting choked up! But I managed to hold it together and tell her that my love was exactly the same for her.

I'm so very blessed to have her!!
