After asking Payton to find some tape she tells me:

"Mommy I can't catch that high, I'm just tiny you know."

Payton getting ready for bed tells me:

"Mommy I really need to tell you something. I am afraid that there are monsters in my room."

The things she will say to get out of going to bed. She later told me that she knows there is no such thing as monsters.

Payton's new way to start sentences to tell us things she doesn't think we want to hear:

"Sorry I have to say this but...."

I definitely makes it easier to hear.

Today Payton and I were sitting at dinner and she looked at me and said

"Mommy do you know how much I love you? To the moon and back."

It is something I often tell her, and something she often tells me. But today was my birthday and I was feeling a little down so to hear it today was just awesome!
