Nothing quite prepares you for the day when your three and a half year old daughter walks around the corner and informs you of the following:
“Mom, I’m getting married.”

She was all dressed up and ready for her "big day!"
We just went to a wedding last weekend and I think that it is the first one that she understood what was happening. This morning she said she was going to marry Johnny. I told her that we probably shouldn’t marry our brothers, so then she said “Mom, when I marry Johnny…. just for pretend….”
She put duplos on her fingers and said they were her rings. She wanted to know where the gift table was and if I needed directions to get to her wedding.
Jakob toggles back and forth between wanting to marry Evie and me…mostly Evie though.
Gwyn is ready to get married too. She moves back and forth between the neighbor boy and 2 boys from daycare. She says she has already told their mom’s and it was ok. Her first 3 children are also named (Ellie, Heggy, & Looley).
