I remember when I was a young child I enjoyed my toys and barbies and little things like styrofoam cups for furniture and old socks for clothes but my 4 yr old takes the cake... I made their bed earlier today and they napped in mine and I was cleaning my floor and Rachel my 4 yr old was helping me so I asked her to throw away an old popsicle wrapper on the floor and wipe up the cocoa buter lotion that she had put on the floor. She wiped up the lotion with toilet paper
and promptly lef the room. Well to make a long story short when I was tucking her in to sleep tonight I rearranged her pillows. Underneath her pillow is where she hides her treasures, I reached underneath her pillows and there was a large pile of food wrappers along with the used toilet paper, ramen wrappers and popsicle wrapper etc.. etc.. even movie ticket stubs. I said oh I need to throw these away, she promptly threw her head back and pitched a fit for her trash. She really wanted her trash, so finally I got her calmed down enough to ask her why she wanted it she said simply, "I love it mommy." I realized, it official, children don't need bought toys to play with they can simply pretend trash is fun.

Dawn,
This is just tooo cute. Maybe we should just quit buying toys and give them our trash. It sure would save a lot of money. LOL
Hahaha. Rachel is such a doll! Oh my goodness. I miss those girlies! They would have had so much fun on the trip! I will tell y'all all about that later.
P.S. She might be picking up a little more habits from Shannan than you would like! ;0)
