Marissa (4) has a little Dalmation Webkinz named Penny. Yesterday we were at Target and Corban (6) begged to go look at the Webkinz they had in stock. After I asked why several times, he finally confessed,
"I want to find a husband for Penny so she can have puppies."

Sometimes when Marissa is angry at Annika, she'll yell at her, "You Little Girl" as if it's an insult. We're trying to correct this.
In the meantime, last night I overheard Marissa and Corban arguing in the bathroom as they were supposed to be brushing their teeth.
Marissa was upset and called Corban, "You Little Boy" in an angry tone.
He retorted, "I am NOT little, I'm big!"
Without a second's thought, she replied emphatically, "PEOPLE are little; GOD is big. He is MUCH more powerful and big than you. So Yes, you ARE little."
Guess we're teaching them something right!
