Recently Alyson has been in deep thought. The other day, she asked: "Mom, is it a law that children have to move out of their parents house when they turn 18?" So- I told her no, it was not a law- that kids over 18 can still live at their parents house. "Well- then I don't think I want to move out when I'm 18- I want to live with you and dad forever." (Followed by a sweet embarrassed smile) I thought that was so sweet- no doubt in 5-7 years that she'll feel the complete opposite...but its sweet to know she loves us enough to want to live with us forever...in her sweet little 7 year old mind!
