Yesterday Anslee saw an outdoor ashtray and asked me what it was for. I told her and she said "I am going to smoke cigarettes when I grow up". I explained how bad it would be for her and thought we were done. She waited a second and watched a guy smoking and said "But I really want that smoke to come out of my nose."
At breakfast time, Anslee will come up to me and hold out something like marshmallows and a cookie and say "which one should I have for breakfast?".
Anslee loves this Laurie Berkner song called "I'm not perfect". One day in Sunday school the teacher told the class that only God is perfect. So now when Anslee is talking about God she calls him "perfect". When I picked her up from Vacation Bible School on the first day she ran to me yelling "Mom, Perfect was here!!" I asked her if that was so exciting and she said "Well, I didn't get to see him".
She loves to watch the DVD of our trip to China and wants me to tell her the story. One night after we talked about it, she asked about being on the steps of the Elementary school waiting for someone to take her to the orphanage. I asked her if she thought she was scared. She said "No I wasn't, cause Perfect had his arms around me!"
