No self esteem problems here

Meagan was quite funny today. She brought home a piece of paper with handprints on it that said, "Hands are not for hitting. They are for....". Obviously, she was supposed to fill in the blank at school, but hadn't. So I asked, "What are your hands for?" She replied, "My hands are for making myself happy."

Later, she was watching Dumbo. We had to turn it off to leave right at the part where the little mouse was trying to convince the ringmaster in his dream that he needed Dumbo to be the climax of his new act. Meagan came up to me and said, "I'm a climax!" Surprised (because I hadn't been paying attention to the movie), I asked, "What?" She repeated, "I'm a climax!" I said, "Do you even know what that means?" She said, "Of course. A climax is something great, and I'm great, so I'm a climax!" I don't think we're going to be having self esteem problems with her.

After dinner, she was downstairs playing with Nate. He said she came up to him and said, "I'm mom, because I cook and bake and sew." What I found funniest is that she didn't mention cleaning anywhere in her list of what Mom does.

The reason we had to turn off the movie early was so we could take Bethany to speech therapy. After her therapy was done, I spoke with the therapist for a bit. She likes to tell me what they covered each time. She told me that she'd tried to get Bethany to talk about her birthday party. She asked if the kids got to take anything home with them. Bethany said, "They just brought things for me, and I got to keep them forever!" This girl knows where her priorities are, I guess.
