It’s not too easy living with a 6.5 year old at times either – but I know I will miss this one day!
1. Constantly whispering in my ear to make sure that I know that something Elliott is saying (eg he is as fast as Flash or he is taller than Natalie) isn’t true
2. Insisting that it’s embarrassing to play with me at the park when other kids (in Sun Prairie WI where the only people she knows are 0, 29 or 31)… to then play fish fishy cross my ocean with 3 grown ups and her brother 20 feet from the playground
3. Empatically telling us “you don’t understand me; you don’t respect me” when we have left her brother two flights of stairs away to listen to her, are practicing our pre-marriage counseling listening skills and just happen not to AGREE with her (since “respecting her” is really putting down her brother)
4. Trying to give her more independence to spread cream cheese on her bagel – only return to find out that all the cream cheese is gone and fully digested
