Addison and I shopped at the mall this morning. Before we left home, Addison packed her black purse complete with lipstick, cell phone, mirror, and debit card. She calls her debit card her "wallet". I assume this is because she knows the debit card is like money and Robert & I keep our money in our wallets - I guess it's a fusion of the two ideas in her mind.
After we'd successfully shopped for a dress for Mommy, Addison asked for a cookie. We walked down to the cookie shop, she made her selection, and then as the girl wrapped up the cookie, Addison pulled her debit card/"wallet" out of her purse and tried to hand it to the cashier. I was in disbelief. She wanted to pay for her own snack! I secretly paid with cash and pretended to hand her debit card/"wallet" to the cashier...I don't want to spoil this responsible behavior! She beamed with pride as she carried her cookie to a table.
Today was also the first time I've seen her eat an entire cookie. Typically, Addison will only eat cookies with icing on them (Oreos, etc.), licks the icing off, and leaves the cookie on the table. Today, however, she ate the entire cookie. Perhaps it was pride, perhaps it was hunger. I'll never know. I do know that I was a proud mommy today, for many reasons.

Adds is hilarious! What color lipstick is she already wearing?! Maybe it's time to start giving her a 25 cent allowance?
