Starring Miss A....

Miss M's antics receive a lot of blog time, but that doesn't mean that Miss A isn't just as entertaining.

Her best friend recently turned 12. That made the long wait for turning twelve that much longer for poor Ashley. We often get asked if she is excited to turn 12. Instead of answering for her, we always ask Miss A to answer the magic question: "How long?".

72 days.....71 days....70 days....

Oh, wait, she just informed me that her birthday (and the much-anticipated youth group program) is a mere 64 days away.

Obviously, I had to honor her suffering until then by posting a counter on the blog!

However, we need not wait for her birthday for her to become skilled at playing us parents. On a recent Sunday, I was resting downstairs and my husband was resting upstairs. She knew he was awake enough to answer questions, so she asked if she could play on her computer and later if she could play her DS. We've all been there as parents...tired enough to not know fully what our children are asking, but awake enough to provide the desired answer (if the kids will just leave us be!). We do try to focus our activities away from screen time on Sundays, but she managed to get away with it thanks to tired parents.

We are going to have to keep our eyes...and subconscious fully aware of this girl! :)
