A couple from the past week

Emma to Lilly: "You're stupid!"
Lilly "Mommy, Emma called me a bad word!"
Me: "Emma, apologize to Lilly and tell her that she is not stupid"
Emma: "I'm sorry Lilly. You aren't stupid anymore"


Earlier today Lindsay D was wrapping presents, and was letting Lillian play with tape. Lindsay let Lillian put tape on her mouth, and then Lillian said, "‎"I need bigger tape for my big mouth"


Lillian: growls like a bear
Me: "ahh a bear! I'm scared!"
Lilly: "don't be scared. I can't eat you. Your head it too big for my mouth. See?" opens mouth and places it on my head

My 4 year old is so obsessed with not wasting electricity that the other morning she came into my room in hysterics crying because Josh left for work and left the living room light on. This morning she tells me that he remembered to turn the light off and save power. She is going to need therapy by the time she is a teenager.

Mary Had What?

I was trying to teach Lillian and Emma the song "Mary had a little lamb" in anniversary of Thomas Edison... and Emma sang, "Mary had a little ham"

Emma's Name/Pizza

Friday when I picked the girls up after work, one of Emma's teachers told me that she asked Emma what her last name was, and Emma replied, "I am Emma all the way!"

Today while making dinner
Me: "I'm making Pizza"
Lillian: "Are you going to roll the dough?"
Me: "No I'm not making them by hand, I just have to put them in the oven"
Lillian: "They make themselves? It is like MAGIC!"

Cranky Butt

Me to Emma: "You are a cranky butt"
Emma: "I'm not a butt- this is my butt" (points to butt)

(Emma is 2 years and 4mo)

New Job!

So today I started a new job that will better use my field of expertise... when I walked in I was surprised that Josh was making dinner for me! This conversation followed:

Lillian: "Mommy we are making muffins for you!"
Josh: "Lillian-So why are we making dinner for Mommy?"
Lillian: "I don't know"
Josh: "What are we celebrating?"
Lillian: "Food?"

IronMan

Lillian: "I am going to call my horse Ironman"
Me: "Don't you think your toys would appreciate having DIFFERENT names?"
Lillian: "Nah"

Dirty

Josh: "Oooh do you smell good because you just got a bath?" *gives Lillian a kiss
Lillian: "Ewww now I'm dirty because you gave me a kiss!"

Lip

Me: "You better not be giving me lip, little girl"
Lillian: "I am giving you happy lip"

Me: "It is so hard to eat when you're sick"
Lillian: "Chew really hard"

Lillian's prayer tonight: "Thank you for all the birds, except for the Blue Jays because Mommy doesn't like them"

I need to start updating here again. Here is one from Lillian at 4 1/2 years old. She tried to turn the water to the tub off herself. And I was explaining to her that it was dangerous because she could burn herself or her sister.

Lillian: "Okay, I won't do it again"
Me: "That is what you said last time"
Lillian: "Well maybe you need to yell it loudly so that I can hear you"

Teaching her to count

So.... Lillian did something bad so Josh started counting... he said "ONE..." and Emma pipes up and says, "TWO THREE!"

A few from this month:

Lillian got something in her shoe and later tripped. She proceeded to proclaim, "I am just having a bad day"

Lillian loves to say random things out of the blue... Lil, "I can play guitar behind my head"

April 3- I just asked Emma where she was taking something an sage said clear as a bell, "my bedroom!!"

April 1- "Lillian to Emma: "Can you say Ni Hao? That means hewoow"

Ki'lan just asked what you'd grow in your garden.... Lillian answered "Plants... you know... grass.... and flowers... yeah... grass and flowers"

Not the Mama

Lillian said that she wanted to be the Mommy. I said, "okay you can cook me dinner, and give me drinks, and wipe my butt when I poop, and change Emma's diapers" Lil looked at me and said, "Uh, no. I want to be the daddy" I asked, "What does the daddy do?" To which she replied, "Drive the car"

He Shall Be Called Kix

At Josh's work:
Lillian "What is his name?"
Me "I don't know"
Lil "I will call him Kix"
Me "I'm sure he has a name, I don't think he'll like being called Kix"
Lil "Oh well"

Where Goldfish Come From

One of the goldfish in my pond passed away. He had lived a good long life, he was at least 3 or 4 years old. I realize that 20 years is average, but that is besides the point. So, my mom was down visiting and she buried his remains in the back yard. Later on Lillian asked me why Grandma KK, "Gardened the fish" and if a tree would grow there.

I tried to explain to her the difference between burying a dead fish and growing a tree from a seed.... but before she could comprehend the truth, Josh stepped in and told her, "Yes, that is where your goldfish crackers come from, GOLDFISH TREES!"

Thanks Josh! hahaha... and of course she believes him over mommy.
