Do you get Scared?

Yesterday Dakota was telling me about what she did at school.
She told me about a book they read about a mom that kissed her child's hand before she sent him off to kindergarten so that he would feel her love and not be scared.
I asked Dakota if she was scared at school and she said,
"No.  I just get excited and then I fart!"
Thanks for the blatant honesty, Bear!

BFF=Sisters

After school yesterday, we stopped at the park on the way home.  A little girl about Kota's age was there playing and the girls instantly befriended her.
After a few minutes of girl talk and tag, I overheard this little bit:

Dakota:  (talking to her new friend) You are going to be my new best friend.
Charly:  Momma says sisters are our best friends.
Dakota:  That means you are my new sister.

A little background:
When the girls fight, I tell them that their sisters are their best friends.  They will always be there for them and they will always love them.  So they shouldn't treat each other badly.  They should treat their sisters how they treat their non-family friends.
What did the girls glean from this?
If you are a sister, you are a best friend.  If you are a best friend, you are a sister.

I love how little minds work!
