The wedding day.....

So Sophie my 4-year old was playing dress up yesterday. She comes in the kitchen wearing her beautiful white princess dress. "I am going to wear this to my wedding," she says. "Honey it will be too small by the time you get married," I reasoned. To which she replied," I'll just have to get married tomorrow then." She goes on to say,"Four year olds are supposed to get married. I'll just have to tell Drew we are getting married tomorrow." OOOOOKKKKKKaaaayyyyy. I try to drop the subject. The wedding thing came up a few more times throughout the day I thought okay we will just pretend along with her.

This morning when she got up she asked her daddy where he was going. He told her he was going to work. She cried out, "You can't I am getting married today at 1:00 to Drew and you have to be there." Oh Lord. We asked her if Drew knew about this. She said,"No, I will tell him and he will invite all of his friends to be there." Jerry asked her where they were going to live. She said, "Just down the road in Nashville for awhile then we will move off somewhere." Chicky baby has it all planned out. I asked her if she had a preacher lined up to do the ceremony. She said," No, you can just marry us." I told her I could not that she had to have a minister marry them. She told me to call Bro. Rickenbaker because he was a preacher and he could do it. All of the time she is telling us this she is dead serious. She is not playing. I went into the living room and asked Jerry to hold me. I looked at him and said, "She's going to leave home when she is twelve if we don't watch it." She invited Jaden to her wedding. She called her Grandma while we were making our morning delivery and asked if she could come for breakfast. Grandma told her she could. I thought great this will get her mind off of her wedding today at 1:00. She stayed at Grandma's and Grandpa's for most of the day. Jerry had alerted them to the wedding plans.

Jaden and I made a list of groceries that we needed and got ready to go grocery shopping. I let Jaden plan one meal and decided to call Sophie and see what she wanted one night. So I ring them up and talked to Grandpa for a minute before Sophie gets on the phone. He told me that Sophie had invited them to the wedding. Shoot! I was hoping she would forget about that. While I am talking to him I hear her tell him to get dressed for the wedding. So Grandpa and I talk about this for awhile and I tell him just not to let her know when it is 1:00. So I finally remember to ask Sophie what she wants for dinner. She says to me," I have a wedding today remember." I said, "Sophie this is next week I am talking about. What do you want for supper one night?" She says,"Mom, I am marrying Drew today." I said, " Okay, that's great but what do you want for supper one night next week." She sighed and said," Mom, I am marrying Drew today I will not live with you anymore." Finally I put a stop to it. "Sophie, you are four years old you are not marrying Drew today. You can not get married when you are four. You can't get married until you are through with college." She said ," Okay then I want Pizza." WHEW!!!!

So baby girl will be making pizza from scratch next week and I get to have her under my roof for a few more years.
