Cricket Gems

"Bun is wide awake, and Dove is wide asleep!"

We had made chocolate chip cookies yesterday while she was home (school was closed on Presidents' Day).
Cricket: "Mommy and Daddy and you and me can all have a chocolate chip cookie but Bun and Dove can't."
Me: "That's right, they're too little to have a cookie."
Cricket: "So Mommy should eat lots and lots of cookies so that they get to taste the cookies in their milk."

Me: "Sweetie, do you want an orange for lunch?"
Cricket: "Yes, but only a really orange one."

Cricket: "Me and Mommy are milk monsters!"
Me: "You are?!  Why's that?"
Cricket: "Because I drink lots and lots of milk and Mommy pumps lots and lots of milk.  That makes us both milk monsters!"
Me: "So what about Bun and Dove, since they drink all of Mommy's milk?  Are they milk monsters too?"
Cricket: "No, Caitlin, you're silly.  They're babies."

Me: "Alright, sweetness, it's time for me to go home.  Where's my hug?"
Cricket: "Here!  It's right here!  See??"  *arms thrown wide open*
Me: "Goodnight!  Love you!"
Cricket: "Night!  Love you too!"

as I'm halfway to the car...


Cricket: "Caitlin!!!"
Me: "What's wrong, love?"
Cricket: "Love you one more time!"
Me: "Love you a million times, Cricket."

Holy crap. Is there such a thing as nanny headhunting? Because I want you to be my nanny. You are the coolest.
