"Tanks, Mommy!"

Adele is at a stage where she "tanks" (or thanks) us for just about everything. It is super sweet, but also kind of silly. For example, she thanked me for letting her out of a time out this evening, and then there was this conversation, as Daddy was outside grilling pork chops (and mighty tasty ones at that!):

Adele: Mommy, what's Daddy doing?

Mommy: Making dinner on the grill.

Adele: Can I see him?

Mommy: Sure, look out the window.

Adele: Tanks, Mommy!

You're welcome, kid...especially since you were already looking out the window when our conversation started...
