Another Andrew Quote

Andrew: "Mommy, Samantha says I'm not cute"
Jennie: "Well, she's wrong, you're adorable"
Andrew: "Mmm hmmm"
Jennie: "You know what adorable means, right, it means you're super extra cute."
Andrew: "Well, I am the cutest one really in my class."
Jennie: "Mmm hmmm"
Andrew: "Yeah, really, I am."

Nice things kids say

Last night Andrew said, "Mommy, why do you always smell nice?"
