On the way home from ballet today, we had one of those conversations that makes my heart melt and my soul sing. One of those conversations that convince you that becoming a parent is truly the best thing you've ever done. And since she won't say these things to me after age 9 or 1o, I'm trying to soak it up now.
Liv: Mom, what house will I have?
Me: Um, what do you mean, what house will you have?
Liv: What house will I live in with my kids?
Me: You want to know what house you'll live in when you grow up and have your own babies?
Liv: Yes.
Me: I don't know. You'll get to pick it out yourself. When you get married and have kids, you and your husband can find one like Daddy and I did.
Liv: I want to live next door.
Me: Next door to Daddy and I?
Liv: Yeah. Then we could be neighbors.
Me: Then I could see you and your kids all the time. That sounds good to me.
Liv: And I want my house to be turquoise.

fantastic color choice! at least giving direction will be simple enough!
cute, really cute. Katie always says, "when I grow up I'm going to go where ever you go."
Yeah, I live next to my crazy daughter in her turquoise house. Should be popular with the neighbors right?
I love when they talk about growing up and wanting to be with us forever. Gotta get it on video for proof...
so sweet!
That's my girl - turquoise! Yes, that is her favorite color - I have a grandma mug that Livy painted - Yellow (my favorite color) with red dots and wait..wait..here it comes..a TURQUOISE handle! I love my mug and drink coffee each morning - it really wakes me up (not the coffee -the MUG!) Love, Grandma
What love. Let's read this to her when she is 14 and she rolls her eyes and sayd, "Gross. I DON'T want to live next door to you".
And we will know not to worry. Once she is a wofe and a mama, she will be begging for you to come and stay forever...
