Triston: I don't like Bridget anymore Mom. Send her back!
Me: What? You love Bridge, we don't want to send her back.
T: Yes I do! I really don't like her now.
M: Where would we send her?
T: To another family.
M: Hmmmm, wouldn't you miss her? You wouldn't have anyone to play with and make you laugh.
T: She isn't that funny, just send her to another family.
M: Well, ok if you only want to be with mom and dad and have NO fun then lets go pack her stuff.
T: Ok.
M: (Thoughts) Oh my gosh what I am going to do with this kid!
I decided to let him think it over for a while and then I came up with a way to win him over. Bridget was asleep so I went in and put a brownie in her crib and then the conversation continued...
M: Triston, did you know Bridgie made you something last night while you were sleeping?
T: She did?!? What did she make??!! (Jumping up and down)
M: It's a surprise. She worked SOOOO hard. You know how small her little arms are right? Well, she had to work so hard to make this for you. She can't walk so she just kept it in her bed.
T: She worked so hard for me?
M: Yep she did.
T: Let's go see it!!!
M: Ok, really quietly.
T: It's my FAVORITE!! A brownie! Ok, mom we can keep her!
Thank goodness our little lady is such a good cook ;)

ha ha! dani you are hilarious, i would have loved to hear this conversation! brownie!?? i love it.
Triston is so cute. Even if he wants to send his sister back. I've wanted to send my siblings back at times too. :) A little jealousy happening there. Good solution. Your fast on your feet Dani! Are you guys going to AZ for Thanksgiving?
Wow, you are a genuis. I would have never thought to do that, but it would have totally won Bentley over too. How cute.
Great thinking! I'll have to remember that in a few weeks, ha.
HAHA..that is such a funny story. Smart thinking on your part too :)
Haha Dani I miss you and your adorable family!!!! I hope you guys are doing great and loving life! You are the cutest mom ever.
Nice, that little boy is such a little fire ball! So funny! It's always interesting when those first children figure out what having "a baby" really means! I remember Savanna would always say, "mom,just put that baby down" and "mom that baby is annoying me"! Good times ahead. They'll be best little friends in no time. Well, maybe in a few years..:)
that is hilarious!!!!
when scott's little sister was born. he told his mom he wanted to throw her in the gutter.
kids say the funniest things!
Love this story. I think Cru has told me he doesn't wike (like) the boys anymore. Sometimes I don't like any of them myself ;)
Dani...I was laughing pretty hard while reading this post. I can hear Triston having this conversation with you. I'm so glad to see things are good!! Bridgete (sp?) is so darling!! She gets cuter everyday!
I love that I can totally hear your voice talking to him, even though I haven't heard it in years. Love you Dani!
Oh my goodness, that was the cutest little story ever! You always have such funny things to share. It made me smile. I can't believe how much Bridget is changing. She is adorable and I'm so happy to hear you are all doing well. :)
