This is a great thread! It has made me remember quite a few things my girls have done to make me and hubby laugh and cry!

Last year my Mother-In-Law passed away, and instead of a funeral we had a Memorial Service which we held at my Mom's place in the backyard. It wasn't officiated, it was just family and friends getting together to mourn, pay our respects, and to share stories. Both of my children were there, Moni who was (at the time) 3 1/2 and Crystal who was 1. My daughter one day was trying to tell me about her cousin (she has a LOT of them), but she couldn't remember her name. I asked her where did she see this cousin last, because I just couldn't figure out who she was talking about. She says to me "Don't you remember Mom, at the 'Sad Party'." This of course threw me off, because I have no clue yet again what she's talking about. So I asked her, "What sad party?? Who's Sad Party??" She got upset and looked right at me with eye's that said 'how could you not know!' and said "Mom, the one for Grandma Judy!" I hadn't realized how much that party had affected her, and how well she expressed what that day had meant to her. This was a few months after that party, and she has a great memory, so at that point I could tell her what cousin she was talking about. Blieth, "Yes Mama, the one who's Grandma looks just like mine and sounds just like mine. We have a lot in common." Janet, being Judy's sister, is almost her twin, and another observation she picked up on all on her own.

Another one: My now 2 1/2 yr. old Crystal is potty training, all on her own choice. She's sitting on the potty one day and giggles when she starts peeing. Then she asks for paper, and I give it to her, and she says 'try again' and I say go ahead. She starts going again and gets the biggest smile on her face and while giggling even more says "It's WARM MAMA!!" It was just so cute!
