A truer sentence never spoke....

This is one of the top Amelia-isms from my point of view for how simply yet purely true it was.

Amelia and I had a really lovely outing yesterday after her preschool 'graduation' and party (this is her last week of preschool!). Mary took Oliver home for a nap, and Amelia and I went out by ourselves - first to see the movie Up (we loved it) then to get a coffee and chocolate milk, then to our delight we happened upon a bookstore. Amelia had an hour to read anything she could get her hands on, and we picked out a couple of new books for Oliver.

While Amelia was reading some books, I was standing by the parenting section and picked up "Your 5 year old" by Louise Ames. Amelia walked by and glanced at the cover, and I smiled and said "Now I will really be able to figure you out."

Amelia just smiled and said, "But I'm not just any 5-year old."
