In honor of having working internet but no actual time to do extended fun blogging things today I thought I’d relay a conversation with Ivy.
This conversation occurred at bedtime sometime in the last few weeks. John and I were in the kitchen and Ivy was at the top of the stairs out of sight while Ivy and I carried on this very serious conversation after she was supposed to be in bed. John scribbled down the conversation while attempting to suppress his laughter.
It went like this…
Ivy: I need you!
Me: What do you want?
Ivy: I just need three things. (Now keep in mind I couldn’t see Ivy but from her tone of voice if I could have seen her she would have been looking exasperated and gesticulating with both arms by this point)
Me: What are they?
Ivy: Well…first thing is…..
I need you.
The third thing is….what about the rain.
The last thing is…. why is Dad fixin’ the lawnmower?
Yeah, just those three things.
Hooray for working technology cross your fingers it stays this way!!!
Behind the Willows 
Love it!!!
What a sweetheart. She will always need you and that will be the number one thing on every list!
Yeah, but it wasn’t the sincere kind of “I need you”. It was a scheming kind of “I need you” where you can see the gears turning as her brain tries to figure out the right combination of words that will allow her to not go back to her room alone. Still cute, but not so innocent.
I am imagining what the tone was in person. But Ivy will always be sweet, cute and innocent in my eyes!
