Drew remarked today that people really seem to respond to Rachel, usually by giving her things. Today at the farmer's market one woman gave her a cookie; another one gave her a flower; another something with honey. He was in the grocery store with her recently and a guy behind them remarked to Drew: "You have an adorable companion."
YES.

The other night while I was away, Drew said Rachel asked him, "Will you always be my Daddy?"
"Yes, sweetie!" he replied.
"When you're in heaven you can look down and see me and my kids," she responded.
Neither of us have any idea where that came from. Preschool is secular and neither of us have talked about heaven or hell, so...who knows?

Tonight Drew tried to joke with Rachel that when he and Mommy go to sleep, they take their heads off and put them next to their beds.
"Then how can you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without eyes?" she said immediately. "Because your eyes are on your head!"
We both burst out laughing and acknowledged that she, at 4, is getting to be too smart for us!

Rachel can now sing a song about colors in Spanish to the tune of Frere Jacques: Red is rojo, red is rojo, blue is azul, blue is azul...etc. Glad she's learning at least a little bit of another language.

In keeping with the many fairy books we're reading to her, Rachel has decided that Mommy is the Barbershop Fairy. That's what she told the dry cleaning lady when Drew picked up the cleaning today. "Where's Mom?" the woman asked. Drew told her I was at a chorus rehearsal, she asked what kind of music, and Rachel answered, "Barbershop! She's a barbershop fairy!"
That's probably why I had a good rehearsal today. Tiring, but good.
