Number Five is my almost four year old daughter who gives. The. Best. Advice. Ever. She may be young, but she knows what's good. And she never fails to steer me in the right direction. She is honest. She is opinionated. She is insightful. She is spot friggin' on.
For instance, when Little Bird's doctors first uttered the word "tracheostomy", we were really at a crossroads. One night soon after, Number Five and I lay in bed and she asked me what was wrong. I told her that the baby's lungs weren't working too well, and that the doctor wanted to fix them for her by giving her a machine that would help her breathe. Number Five told me "Don't be ah-fwade, Mommy. My baby needs to breef and make winds out her nose, and she will grow big and come home!". Call me crazy, but she was right. And the other day? I asked her what I should make for dinner. She? Told me, "Nothing!". "Nothing?", I replied, and asked her what we were supposed to eat if I didn't cook. "Pizza!", she said, as a matter of fact. "Mommy, you burn too much foods!". That, I couldn't argue. What can I say? The kid has a gift!
