I love how naive a child can be. Ever since Nicky can communicate better she's been asking me the same question, "MOMMY, WHERE IS DADDY?" my answer of course is "WELL, NICKY, DADDY IS AT THE HOSPITAL." So she asks me again, "WHY IS DADDY AT THE HOSPITAL?" "WELL NICKY DADDY IS AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BECOME A DOCTOR." "MMM...A DOCTOR? BUT WHY?" (big question) "WELL NICKY BEING A DOCTOR IS A VERY NOBLE PROFESSION. HE WANTS TO HELP PEOPLE TO NOT BE SICK" (Well of course he wants to be a plastic surgeon but I always skip this because I don't want to specify about body reconstruction, or boob jobs, etc). Anyway it's funny every time that we are close to the hospital the way that she describes the hospital as HER HOSPITAL, or MY DADDY'S HOSPITAL.
Anyway today Sunday we were playing a board game called Sorry. Well Nicky was beating us by far, but it was already 9:20 p.m., so she really needed to go to sleep. On the way to her bed she was asking me if we could play the game again tomorrow. I told her that maybe we could play it for our family home evening activity, and she said, "NO MAMA WE NEED TO PLAY IT BECAUSE YOU SEE I'M A DOCTOR." (what that had to do with the game I don't know...she is the only one who knows). Anyway I told her that she was not a doctor, but someday she could be if she really wanted to. She asked me why her daddy was a doctor, and I told her "WELL NICKY DADDY IS NOT A DOCTOR YET, BUT HE IS PREPARING SO HARD TO BE ABLE TO BE ONE SOMEDAY, THAT'S WHY HE NEEDS TO STUDY SO MUCH AND HE NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION SO HE CAN LEARN." Well she looked at me and with her very serious tone of voice told me "MAMA, I WANT TO BE A DOCTOR BECAUSE SANTA IS A DOCTOR TOO" (mmm...now that I think about it I wonder if she knows...nah). Anyway I still don't know what does that mean, but I told her, "Well, Santa is not a doctor but he probably could be if he really wants to."
I just don't know why Santa was brought in her conversation. It'll be interesting when she can communicate more about her thoughts.
Anyway, tomorrow is going to be Nicky's best friend's B-day but since he is not here we might give him a call tomorrow to sing happy b-day. Nicky has been asking for him since he went on his trip.
Before we started playing Sorry, Ian was dancing but on the gameboard. Nicky was pretty mad. Maybe that's why she wanted him to go to sleep so bad. :)
On other subject I've been tagged by a friend, but I don't know exactly how it works. If somebody can help me that'd be great. I already asked Glenn but he doesn't have a clue....doctors...

I just love the things that kids say! It really makes you wish you could see into their little minds!
I am so sorry I didn't explain how the tag works. In this case, it has a choice or question for every letter of the alphabet. If you refer back to my tag post, you can copy each question, and then write down your answer. So for example, the first one is the letter "A" and the choice is Attached or single. You would choose attached (cause of Glen and all!)
You end up tagging other friends and they answer the same questions. It's just fun to see others answers and get to know them better. If you have any other questions, just ask!
Elise I can't wait to start with my anwering question. Thanks for think about me. I'm defenetly looking forward to post my tag and the people who will be tag for me.
Good! I'm excited to read your answers!!
