Ashley's Misnomers!

It's quite charming to listen to Ashley incorrectly state something! She is the Queen of Misnomers!

Definition: Misnomers - mis-no-mer 
1. a misapplied or inappropriate name or designation.
2. an error in naming a person or thing.

The three I can recall are quite funny to hear and what's even funnier is that we never tell her she's saying them incorrectly. One day she will realize this, think back on all those times she said these things and simply laugh.

Here they are in random order!

1. Old McDonald's -- It's just McDonald's Ashley, we don't need the old part! Really! That was just a song you sang in pre-school!
2. Hamburger King -- Ashley, just because they sell hamburgers doesn't mean they call it that. It is simply Burger King or BK!
3. Book Fairy -- Ashley, there isn't a book fairy that visits our house, rather we attend book fairs where we actually have to pay for the books!

My little Bestfriend!

Last night after preparing Ashley's lunch, her outfit and bag for school, I woke her up to use the potty. After her trip to the potty, we turned the light on in the room and started a conversation. Although it was 2:30 in the morning, we laughed about her favorite cartoon, spongebob squarepants, talked about her day and giggled for more than 30 minutes about the important things in her life: toys, green dots, chocolate milk, rhyming words, baseball, friends & daddy. As our conversation faded and we turned out the lights and put our heads on our pillow, I couldn't help but smile as this conversation reminded me of the ones I used to have with my mom while I was in highschool. They were conversations I looked forward to and ones I often think about when reflecting on the past.

As Ashley grows older, I often worry that I will lose this special bond we have; however, last night after our conversation my worry was wiped away as I smiled with excitement knowing that this was the beginning and our relationship would only get stronger and better with time!
