Emma has entered the most entertaining stage of imagination. No matter where we are or what we are doing she is ready to become magical and enthralled in a world of make-believe. The numerous conversations we have through out the day tickles my heart and sends my face into the biggest of grins. Yet as I try to remember and share the stories of the day with Ian the entertaining thought struck me that these conversations are adorable with a three year old but would be seriously concerning with a twenty-three year old.
For example,
A three year old informing everyone that she wants to be a rainbow, sparkle unicorn when she grows up. -adorable


A twenty-three year old asking if you want to be a queen and she will be your princess - seriously concerning
A three year old climbing all over you to whisper in your ear all the secrets the wind is telling her- adorable

A twenty-three year old climbing all over you to whisper in your ear all the secrets the wind is telling her- seriously concerning
Along with conversations, Three year old, "What is your husbands name?"

"My husband's name is Ian Newkirk. Do you have a husband?"
Three year old, "No"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Three year old, "No"
*Silence*
Three year old, "You did not ask if I have a girlfriend"
Ummmm ok as a three year old, not really as ok as a twenty-three year old.
With hesitation, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I don't think that I am going to have a big wee wee like daddy" -funny from a three year old, not so funny from a twenty-three year old
"Can I get on the table and shake my bootie" -funny from a three year old, not so funny from a twenty-three year old
"I think that that man is a troll or a monster" -funny from a three year old, not so funny from a twenty-three year old

"I don't like wearing underwear" - funny from a three year old, not so funny from a twenty-three year old (well if she is your daughter)
And then of course there are the numerous statements that I had better hear from her no matter if she is three, twenty-three, or a hundred and three.

"I like the roads that tickles my belly"
"This is going to be the bestest day ever"
"Lets dance"
"They are all my favorites and I love everyone"
"Can you hug me?"
"I like making everything prettier"
"I love you"
