"I like Dr Seuss; he's a good writer. All of his stories teach something.Gurtrude McFuzz shows us we should all just be who we are. Yertle the Turtle teaches that everyone is important, it doesn't matter who you are. At least that's how I see it. Someone else might see it differently."

saving up for a house

"When I move out, before I get my house, I think I'll go up into the mountains and camp until I have enough money."

about our backyard

"If I was a little kid I would think it was the best place in the world."

why she doesn't play during recess anymore

"It's more funner to do different stuff when you grow up. Not, like, play, but you know, just talk."

why I can't be the kid & have her be the mom

"Because I don't know how to be the mom. Besides, I don't have that much money."

For her upcoming birthday

we took Tessa to get her ears pierced. I asked, "Do you like having your ears pierced?"

"Yes," she answered, "but it changes almost everything."

for me

"I love you

from you know who

to mommy"
