Post-Nap Conversations

Cole was sitting at the computer this afternoon when Jahmia woke up from her nap. She was still groggy as she approached him and engaged in the following conversation.

"Hi Jahmia," Daddy says.
"Where's Benjamin?" Jahmia asks.
"He went home." Daddy replied.
"Where's the box?" Jahmia quickly added.
"Daddy didn't bring one home from work. I'm sorry."
"oh," Jahmia says followed by a short pause. "Do you have any money?"

When little conversations like this happen we are left astounded and amazed. We delight in them not because of her unbridled tongue, but for her tenacious memory and caring heart. For the past year and a half Cole has brought cardboard boxes home and then turns them into houses for Mia to play in. So the last one he brought home was more than 2 weeks ago. Since then she'd ask at various times if Daddy could bring one home, not for her but for Benjamin!

Regarding the money she asked for, Daddy often has change for her after he makes his run to L.A. or San Diego. She asks for his coins because she's saving it for the Boardwalk. (Smart girl!)
