She Dreams of Curls...

Why is it that girls with curly hair always want straight hair, but girls with straight hair always want CURLY hair?! Rayna was SO DELIGHTED when her braids came out and her hair poofed out in wonderous waves and curls!

I never cease to be amazed with how much more our kids know about this town than we do. Yet another case in point: recently I mentioned to Grant that I had contacted a member of the Bolivar Canine unit to find out more about Schutzhund training for Ransom. Grant replied, "Does Bolivar HAVE a canine unit?" I told him, "Who knew! But, evidently so!" At which point my six year old interjects herself into the conversation to inform us that certainly Bolivar has a canine unit and that the canine is named Justice and that he is handled by Officer Magill, whose daughter's name is Samantha...and, furthermore, SHE (Rayna) has even blown the siren in his police car!

Well! Who knew?! (Well, other than our six year old!) It is amazing how much more our kids know than we think they know. And, it is amazing how much they never think to tell us. This momentous occasion of being allowed to blow the police siren happened a year ago and we are just now hearing about it!
