This might only make my family laugh, but it's worth writing down!
At lunch today Lily and I had this conversation (I pulled out a paper halfway through it to take notes on her understanding of how our family works).
Me: Do you know who is coming to visit this week?
Lily's eyes light up as she squeals: WHO???
Me: Aunt Jenessa and Uncle Kent!
Me: Uncle Bryce isn't coming this time.
Lily: Why isn't he coming?
Me: Well he can't leave his wife.
Lily: Oh, Aunt Janilee? (Janilee is married to my brother Jonathan)
Me: Is Uncle Bryce married to Aunt Janilee? Then what about Kristen?
Lily: thinking... Uncle Kristen is married to Uncle Bryce. (She said Uncle, not a typo, and they are married.)
Me: And who is Uncle Jonny married to?
Lily: Oh! I know! Aunt Janilee! (Yes! She got that right!)
Me: And who is Jenessa married to? (Jenessa in my younger sister who isn't married.)
Lily: thinking... Uncle Bryce? (Back to him, eh? He must be quite the dashing husband in her mind.)
Me: Got it. Then there is Aunt Julia. Who is she married to?
Lily: Aunt Julia is married to...Uncle Kent I think.
(At this point she starts to look confused.) (Julia is married to Mark.)
Me: So what about baby Abigail (her 6 mo. old cousin)? Who are her parents? (Answer: Julia and Mark)
Lily: with conviction Abigail is Aunt Janilee and Uncle Bryce's baby. (Oh, so now Bryce is also everyone's daddy?)
Lily: Um? Aunt Julia and Uncle Kent?
Lily: What's figured out?
A Walk in the Woods with Lily and Sawyer

| Mommy! Sawyer! I found a wish! |
 |
| Me too! I can blow on something too! |
 |
| No, silly. Blow on this! I'll show you! |
 |
| Oh cool! |
 |
| Hmm...I wonder. |
 |
| Oh sick! Ew! |
 |
| Make it stop! |
 |
| Thanks a lot guys. You were of great help Mom. |
 |
| I think I'll stick to blowing on my own things. |
