I have begun to talk more and more about David's up coming FIRST birthday party and it is making Carly quite excited.  There were some muffin/cupcake liners left out on the counter this morning from our breakfast muffins and Carly mentioned that she thought we would need more for David's birthday.  When asked why she thought this her response was "Because there will be what, 15 people here for cupcakes?" (A number I'm sure I've said at some point about the party, but do not know when exactly.)  My immediate response was, "How many do we have already?"  She then began counting the liners.  Once she was finished she looked at me and stated, "We have 10 mom, so we need 5 more." Talk about a quick snap of my mom/teacher head in her direction - I was not expecting to see my little 3 year old looking up after me after that statement.  But she was, and WOW!!
