You probably don’t have much clue as to how much I love this kid. So, I’ll give you an example.
For her first birthday, I sent her a package full of things. One of those things happened to be a piggy bank from IKEA. Every 1 year old needs something from IKEA, right?
The plan, according to The Cuz, was to fill the bank with the new Minnesota quarters. It wasn’t until recently that I started looking for them when I get change.
And then, there I was – standing at the Coke machine yesterday with two quarters in my pocket. I was ready to put the final quarter in, when I just happened to look at it. Yep, you guessed it – a Minnesota quarter. After probably three whole minutes of deliberation, I finally put it back in my pocket.
So, dear Clara Jane, you sent me into caffeine detox yesterday just by merely existing. Minus the Red Bull I needed for breakfast this morning, you managed to probably make my walking experience this weekend a lot more tolerable by depriving me of my caffeine a few days prior.
I owe ya one, kiddo.
Aww…you’re such a softie!
Yeah, let’s not tell everyone that. :)
That kid of mine loves to help. She loves that piggy bank, too.
Just to make you totally nuts, right now she’s announcing, “I love you, Mama! I love you Daddy! I love you whoever happens to walk into my line of sight!” all the time.
I save New York quarters. For what purpose, I don’t know. I have put off doing laundry because I don’t want to spend them, though.
