Yesterday as we laid down to take a nap:
Evelyn: What will I be when I'm done being three?
Mama: Next year on your birthday, you'll turn four.
Evelyn: And then five? And then I can drive a sharp yellow car?
Mama: You can drive when you are sixteen.
Evelyn: And eighteen?
Mama: Yes.
Evelyn: When I'm eighteen I'll drive a big yellow car with a steering wheel.
...
Evelyn: What will you be when you're done being a mama?
Mama: I'll always be your mama.
Evelyn: No. What will you turn into after you're done being a mama?
Mama: A grandma!
Evelyn: Yeah! Like Nana.
She agreed that she might be a grandma too some day, maybe. But when she grows up, she wants to be a mermaid. A mermaid, with a green mermaid tail and a green mermaid swimsuit.

oh, that was very sweet!
I was thinking of Evelyn's "what will you be when you're done being a Momma?" and I thought, you're never done being a Momma! Or an aunt, for that matter....no matter how grownup they are! Evie is sooo cute and I miss her and really want to see Lindita. I am working on it.
I love you all! Thank you for doing this blog- I know it takes your most precious commodity, TIME- but it is SO appreciated by out of town aunts who can't be there to hear these things!
