Big Sister in Training

I just thought I would share a couple of pictures that my funny child drew today. We were in the car and she was busy drawing something that she wouldn't let me see until she was done. This was her precious masterpiece :)

She drew herself, Mommy, Daddy & in the middle it says "I hope bruthur" & she wrote a 2 beside him

When I first told her about our plans for Foster parenting, trying my best to put it into 6 year old terms, she was adamant that we could only get girls and they would have to be babies because "well, I don't really like 2 year olds, they're wild". I explained we wouldn't be that picky and would love any little boys or girls who need a family while their Mommy & Daddy get well enough to take care of them. She has been going back and forth on what kind of foster children she wants us to have, currently it's a 2 year old boy...go figure!

About 3 hours after she drew that picture, we were home and she proceeded to tape every baby animal poster from a book she got at the book fair yesterday to her bedroom door. Then she posted this sign:


It reads "No Boys Allowed" then she added in the top right corner "Except my Daddy".

I sooo love this, not only because she wrote it all by herself and sounded out the words exactly like she says them, but because she is so hilarious and I know there are many many years of this ahead...except she won't be wanting her Daddy in her room when she's older either! My favorite part is how she spelled except. She says it just like that, "iceps". Precious!
