- Playing with her food in the kitchen while I did dishes: “I love bell peppers yellow red and green and lemonade! … Look at my food mommy. They’re all lined up.”
- “Im gonna eat my pumpkin before it gets a face and frowns at me.” Totally an original idea. We had just talked about jack-o-lanterns the day before, and she loves her book where the pumpkins have faces, so I guess she came up with that from there.
- Put her veggies in a reusable bag: “Ok less see what Ms Julie gived us today. She gived us carrots and broccodie and orange pepper and green pepper and eggplant!” (We participate in a CSA group with a local farm, and get a bag of goodies every week.)
- “I did it by by myself!”
- “Mom! Dad! Look at me!” Seriously – saying this all. the. time. About EVERYTHING. It’s hilarious!
- Laying on the floor by her door, inside her room, knocking saying “Mommy in there? Hello mommy! Mommy? Hello? Where you go? You in there?”
