what's your name?

ok, i will apoligize in advance for any typos, but only because i am laughing so hard.
my wonderful hubby just told me that he got a ticket yesterday when taking the kids to school -- of course, that isn't why i am laughing, there is more. our little girl, maeson, whom will be 4 shortly, always says, "what's your name" when we go through a drive thru for food or make deposits at the bank or even when you just say hi to a stranger in the store. well, when phil was stopped for his expired inspection sticker, she did as she always does..."what's your name" to the police officer. and, for those of you that don't know my daughter, she is very persistant! she continued to ask, "what's your name, what's your name, what's your name", so finally phil asked the office if he wouldn't mind telling her his name so she would be quiet and that he knew he fully deserved a ticket. apparently mr. officer wasn't very child-friendly as he gave her a not nice look, so my wonderful daughter says to his glare, "don't be mad, i just want to know your name." finally, he replies to her ~ deputy "jones" ~ now here comes the funny part...her reply to him ~ "your name is deputy, now that's just silly" ~ my hubby is doing all he can do to keep from laughing as the officer is trying to do the same. when deputy couldn't keep from laughing he finally had to walk back to his car before issuing my hubby his ticket.
moral of the story, next time you get stopped have your kids say, "what's your name"

Baby A ~ you've grown so much!

As a parent to three kids I know that they change quickly, but also seeing my kids on a daily basis keeps me from sometimes seeing all of the little things even over a short amount of time. This sweet little girl, Miss A, has changed so much since the last time I saw her and that was only 3 months ago. From a tiny newborn to a cute & chubby 4 month old with lots of hair & smiles. Thanks for sharing this moment with me ~
