So... show and tell day.

A kids favorite day for sure.

'Pokey' was today's choice.

Pokey was given to Ailey by Jesse's Family...

(Emily Senior's fiance's family for those wondering

Meet Pokey:

Ailey LOVES Pokey...

She now sleeps with him every night.

When I asked her what she said about him - 

this was our conversation:

Me: "Did you say 'This is Pokey?"'

Ailey: "No"

Me: "What did you say then?"

Ailey: "I said, 'this is Pokey"'

Me: "That's what I just said."

Ailey: "No Mom, I didn't say it that happy.

I just said it normal"

I apparently was trying to 

introduce Pokey with too much happiness.

Gosh, I love her.

Ailey's Craft(s) Today:

Look at her awesome cutting job!!!

Ailey's favorite things about school today: 

(as said by Ailey)

"Mrs. Corron was on a trip so there was this other mom 

of a kid in my class today. She held up Pokey.  

Mrs. Corron was gone, the mom was nice, but I wanted Mrs. Corron."

"Mrs. Gin taught me how to cut with scissors.  

I loooovvve scissors."

(emphasis on love - 

**and I caught her trying to 

get the scissors out of the drawer today - 

I guess we'll be putting those out of reach... 

where they should be already)

And... just because.
