Conversation in the car on the way to daycare:
Rachel: Mommy, why do you like tea?
Me: I like the taste. I don't like coffee, and the caffeine keeps me awake.
Rachel: You like camomile tea?
Me: Like Madeline? No, not really.
Rachel: I like my drinks. They keep me safe and warm.

Did I mention that we all got haircuts when Drew was home? Apparently that's part of our routine -- Drew comes home, all of us, including Rachel, get our hair cut. Twice now Rachel has looked at my cut (which was not the greatest because my stylist is young, not very talented and never cuts my hair the way I want it to look, but it eventually grows back and she's not expensive, so I put up with it) and she said:
"I like your pretty haircut."

Rachel asked for help today to clean up the cereal and juice mess in her lap. Her car seat breakfasts are pretty chaotic.
"It just so happens that I have a napkin!" I said, taking one from my pocket and handing it to her.
"Yay, Mommy!" Rachel cheered, clapping her hands. "You had a napkin!!"
I laughed.
