These little stories and quirks most likely won’t be funny to anyone else, but they made me laugh in the moment and I want to remember them. 

Annabelle is very interested in the day of the week and the date. Once hearing that it was March 1st she drew an invitation and planned a March 1st party. She is my child. Every event deserves a party.

A few weeks ago, Christopher and Sesame were making a big Saturday breakfast. He told AB to ask me if I wanted to pick something off their menu or create an a la carte breakfast. She bounced over and said, “Do you want to eat an olive cart?”

She’s begun referring to anything less than ice cold milk as “dead milk.”

I heard her telling our neighbor Olivia about the characters in The Greatest Showman. When she got to the character played by Zac Efron she sighed, gazed out to the mid-distance and said, “He’s just really beautiful.” I almost cried from laughter. 

She loves to drink out of a metal measuring up like a minor from ye olden days.
