The Stuff a 4 Year Old Says.

Isabel turns 4 in a week, a milestone that we have been keeping close track of for the past three weeks, or make that since she turned 3 a year ago. Kids are so engrossed with their age. Acknowledging that they are older or younger than said friend and that they will be even older after they celebrate said birthday (After I turn 4 then I will be 5, and 6, and 7, and...) 

I think 4 will be a promising age. One that will be filled with so many thoughts and wonder. Here are some of my favorite's so far:

Isabel: (Listening to Alica Keys song "This Girl is on Fire"): "If the girl is on fire....where is the fire?"

Isabel (on a deeper note): "What happens when you die?"

Me: Ahhh...fumbling for words..."You become one with the universe." 

Isabel: "I don't want to die."

Me: "You don't have to worry about that for a long while."

Me: (discussing the idea of family lineage): "When you have a baby then I will be your baby's Grandma.

Isabel: "I don't want you to turn into a Grandma." "I want you to stay a Mom."

Isabel: "If we are going to run errands then why are we walking?"

I love you Isabel and hope you have nothing but unicorns and fairies in your future.
