Kelsey @ Six-Look at this darling girl! (Sorry it is alittle out of focus)
Have I ever told you how much I love being a mom? Well, I do. In fact, some of the best entertainment in my life has come from either the things my children have said or the things they have done. I have tried to write down the cute things the kids have said for family to enjoy, as well as the child who said it, in later years. Once when Kelsey was about 6 years old we were planning a family reunion. It was going to be a special one because we were going to a town that was quite significant to my husband’s family. His grandfather was born and grew up there. We were going to travel for a long time to get to the place. We told the kids we were going to Lund through Ely. Now, you have to know this little town of Lund had only a few hundred people living in it. It is south of Ely.
They’re both in Nevada. My sweet little Kelsey told everyone that we were going to London and Italy. So people would come up to me and say “Wow, you have quite a trip planned!” Thinking they were being sarcastic I’d say “Yeah!!!”, and then mention something about the thrill we were going to have in Lund. One lady in particular then told me, “Oh, I thought you were going to London and Italy.” We laughed and laughed. The lady did actually know where Lund was, and had spent time there as a child. Let me just say that Lund and Ely couldn’t be more different than London and Italy. Although I have been to Lund and Ely, and I can’t say the same about London and Italy.
Keep a small notebook near the kitchen or some other area you spend time, and write down the cute things the children say and do. Believe me you’ll be glad you did. If you don’t, you will forget, of this I can attest.
