How did she get so smart

A little conversation with Maddie and me today...

Maddie - I like hugs mommy

Me - Me too babe

Maddie - But I really only like 'hello hugs'

Me - What do you mean sweetie?

Maddie - I like 'hello hugs'...you know...the kind that you give when you get to say 'hello' to someone. The 'goodbye' hugs make me kind of sad...like the 'goodbye' hug I had to give Nana Carol when we left NY. (She paused and looked like she was deep in thought) I wish that all hugs were 'hello' hugs. Lets work on that mom.

I love that girl!
