Out of the mouth of Dash

Dash has been full of adorable sayings today...

First, today is Josh's and my 10th anniversary (hooray for us!) and on the way home from school, Dash told me "Today is The Anniversary Day.  It is special.  It is special because it's about love."  Which is totally true and a very sweet understanding of something very abstract for a two-year old.

Josh got me lovely jewelry for our anniversary but the true gem of a gift was the story he had Dash recount for me after he got up this morning. 

Josh: "Dash, tell mommy what you told me about last night."

Dash: "Last night in the middle of the night, it was very very dark and I did not like that.  So I wiggled my peecee [his word for his penis] with both my hands and I felt better!"

Seriously, such cuteness

 

Clean-up fail

As I did my usual walk-through after Ella and Dash went to bed, the house seemed awfully lacking in the usual kid messes and I didn't remember any big picking-up events that would've rendered it so unusually neat. 

Then I went into my closet to get ready for bed and I saw where all the day's fun had clearly taken place:

Kindergarten homework

Fortunately Ella's school isn't super big on homework for kindergartners, but now that reading groups have started ("I'm in a reading group of only one people!" Ella reported rather incredulously the first day....), we have books for her to read out loud every night.  Here she is doing her reading practice with a real pro.
