Rose-isms: outsmarting the grandparents

Last week Rose went to my parents' house while Mike was at a training for work. Of course we all had a fun time (I got a start on sorting through our vacation photos, Mike got to go fishing a few days after work, and Rose apparently LOVED Bay Beach), but Mike and I also missed her like crazy! The house was so quiet without her energy, and it was great to get our little family back together again on Friday.


Once we got back together, it was a lot of fun to hear Rose talk about all the cool things she did with Ninja and PopPop -- between the concerts, the amusement park rides, the dinners with extended family, and "inside out canoeing," I'm surprised she slept at all! 


But my favorite part of her recounting the week's adventures was when she gleefully told me "the rules are different at Ninja and PopPop's!!!" She proceeded to tell me about how she drank milk at every meal (usually we limit it to once per day) and she ate mac&cheese every day (we usually limit it to every other day). She just looked SO proud of herself as she talked about the rules being different.


This totally cracks me up because (a) she clearly noticed the discrepancy right away, and (b) she chose not to say anything until after the fact!!  (She's no dummy!)  


I think I like this combo of just a little bit of mischief with a good dollop of honesty. :)

Before she left, we saw "Finding Dory" in the theatre together.

She was happy to dress up as a "princess ballerina" and dance last night
