From the Mouths of Babes

Tonight’s conversation:

Me (after a TV commercial with costumes, hoping for a different answer): Selah, what do you want to be for Halloween?
Selah: A ball-rina princess, Mommy
Me: Oooh, a ballerina princess…
Selah: Yes. With you, Mommy. You be a ball-rina too.
Me: Me? You mean you want me to dress as a ballerina princess too?
Selah (laughing at me): Yeah. With me. You need be a ball-rina before you have TWO babies! (still laughing at her “joke”, apparently!)
…
What?! Seriously, my daughter is making jokes already? She completely was laughing like she was telling the funniest joke ever!

(Background: we’ve been reassuring her that even with a new baby, she’ll still be Mommy’s baby too…Mommy will just have two babies then – because when we bring up the sister or brother and that she’ll be our “big girl”, she tells us, no, she’s our baby!)
