Miss Crockely the Platypus

Yep, that's right, Crockely the Platypus! Macie has recently decided to rename herself. She no longer likes "Macie" and started calling herself Crockely a few weeks ago. It took me awhile to actually figure out what she was trying to say because when she says Crockely it sounds more like "cwockewey", which makes no sense because she speaks absolutely perfect English, except for when she says "Crockely". After about ten minutes, several mispronunciations on my side and an absolute loss of patience on "Crockely's" side I was finally able to decipher the new name. Today she informed me that she was now Crockely the Platypus and we can call her Crockely or Platypus or even both, but absolutely NOT Macie! I asked her if she even knew what a Platypus was and she said it was her. Who knows where this child comes up with her silly ideas!!!

Today Crockely also informed me that when she grows up she is not going to have any kids because she does NOT like babies. I asked her if she was going to get married and she said "No! I don't like babies!" At least she realizes babies and husbands go hand in hand! I then asked her what she was going to do when she grows up since she doesn't want to be a mom and she said she wants to "paint nails and make people's hair a different color they want." I'm glad she realizes what is really important in life! She also said that she is going to babysit Matt's kids, but only Matt's, no one else's. She will also live with us, since she won't have a husband, I'm glad she loves me soooo much!

Crockely is the best little girl ever, I am so happy she is in our family! She is always making me laugh and smile. I love her so much! And look at her pictures, she is freakin' CUTE!!!
