"I shocked!"

This is the conversation I had with Bailey this morning:


Me: "What do you want to wear today?"

B: "My Pooh shirt!"

Me, a little sarcastically, because this kid wants to wear her Pooh shirt every day--so much, in fact, that we have three identical ones to keep up with the demand: "Your Pooh shirt? I'm shocked!"

B: "I shocked, too!"

"You're making bad choices"

This morning, Emily and I had the following conversation:

"Emmy, I saw on your homework sheet that your class is getting a pet fish, and you need to think of a good name.  Got any ideas?

"Yeah.  I have a good idea: Nemo (which she pronounces "Me-moh").  Nemo is a good name for a fish, right?"

"Nemo?  Yes, that is a good fish name.  Maybe we should think of a couple ideas because your class is going to take a vote.  How about Finn?"

"Finn?  That's not a good idea."

"Bubbles?"

"Bubbles is not a good fish name, either, Mommy. You're making bad choices. I make good choices and I like Nemo."

We will let you know what the fish is named as soon as we find out!

Cheese Pickles

When I picked Emily up from school today, I asked her what she'd like for lunch.  She said, "Cheese pickles."

"Cheese pickles?? What's that?" I asked.

"They are long and straight, and they have orange salt on them.  They're cheese pickles," she replied.

"Oh, you mean cheese doodles?" I said.

"Yes.  Cheese doodles," she answered.

"Well, we'll have to pick some up next time we're at the store.  I don't have any cheese doodles at home right now."

LOL!!

The Naked Chef

Bailey is really into her kitchen, shopping cart, and play food. The other day, she set up a bunch of food on Daddy's computer tower like it was her counter and she was jabbering away. It was like the Bailey Cooking Show. I tried to get it on video but as soon as she saw the camera, she held her hand up and said, "No thank you, Mama." I was able to get these pictures, though:

I especially love the mittens she was using for oven mitts.  We don't have much use for mittens here but it was cute that she found a good use for them!

Last night I'd taken B's clothes off but hadn't gotten her pajamas on yet, and she ran into her room.  This is what I saw when I looked in there:

How cute is she??? :)
