She came up with a recipe the other night, on her own. So she wrote it down and her parents made it. It was for herbed chicken quesadillas (I think someone has seen the cooking channel a time or two). Evidently they were pretty darn good. I asked her what she did with the basil in it. She said, "I minced it." OMG!!! Totally love her.Saturday she came to my shower. We were eating BBQ. When I sat next to her we talked more about food. One of the cousin's kids came out talking about brownies. Our conversation went something like this.
Me: Oh, you like brownies Eli?
Eli (cousin's kid): Well my mom made them, so yeah.
Me: Really? Cause my mom makes pork chops that are super disgusting. You don't always have to like what your mom makes (Eli runs in the house).
Charli (whispering to me): My mom makes chicken pot pie and it is the most horrible-est thing I have ever eaten in my life.
Me (turning to Charli's mother): Dude, I love your kid. She is bagging on your chicken pot pie. It is good to be honest.
Charli's mom: Not everyone would agree with you about my chicken pot pie.
Charli (with big eyes): I think so.
Holy cow!!! I want this kid. Not bratty. Super polite. Obviously intelligent with personality coming out of every pore. The twins are going to make fantastic "big sisters" to the baby but I think we could make room for one more. Oh and she has an adorable 1 and 1/2 year old brother too.
Between best bud's twins and kids like Charli, my kid does not stand a chance. So I am hoping they will rub off on her and show her the way.
Yes there are more pictures and more to post about. I am laughing as I think about it. However, you know what it is like to be in love. It has to be the first thing you talk about!! Oh, I think hubby is okay with my new love. There is still room for him in my heart too.

Charli sounds unique and adorable... just like her name! It's so fun to meet someone with that must distinct personality and wit. :)

Hilarious! I adore children, especially the really good ones like Charli!
What a doll!! She should met my 4yr old son, he likes to be called master chef when he is in the kitchen. Ha ha ha. Kids say the darnedest things. I was hoping to see your shower pics!! Hope it was great. Hey and any luck on picking things out for the nursery yet?
so flipping sweet.
I love kids, how they think and what they say.
I would like to introduce Charli to my son Henry.... sounds like they might be at least somewhat compatible.
Henry socializes like a 10th grader.
Thanks!
