Compliments

I was telling Addilece why I loved her.  I listed about five different things that I thought were special with her.  Then I stopped.  She looked up and declared:

"What ELSE were you going to say."

So I went on.  After a few more compliments she said:

"Ok.  I'm going to get a book now."

I told you...

We were eating dinner and the food was HOT.  We gave ample warning to the kids. 

Addilece: "Big brother be careful it's hot.  It's hot be careful.  Be careful Big Brother."

Big Brother takes a bite and looks up with a look that says he's suprised how hot it really is.

Addilece shaking head: "I told you it was hot.

I Did NOT

Addilece:

Dar-
Mom, I almost said "darn it."
But I didn't say "darn it".
Because I know we aren't suppose to say that word.

Imagine

Addilece:  "There are a MILLION donkeys and they are all holding on to a rope and walking.  Can you imagine that mom?  Can you just imagine?"

Good Nap

Addilece: "Mom can we watch a movie?"
Me: "We are about to go down for quiet time/nap time soon."

5 minutes later....

A: "Mom I'm SOO tired.  Can I go take a nap?
M: "Sure, I guess."
Addilece turns and heads upstairs.

Less than 2 minutes later....

Suddenly Addilece appears down stairs.
A: "I took a nap.  Now, I'm done. Mom can I watch a movie?"

Spiders

Addilece: "Spiders don't like peanut butter."

Old

My back is not the greatest.  To "save" it I can no longer carry any of my three year olds.  They are constantly hearing: "No I can't because it will hurt my back."

One day Addilece declares:

"Mom my back hurts.  I'm old."

Milk

I never give Little Man milk because he rarely actually drinks it, but he always asks for it.  This morning was no exception.  After he finished eating the toast he had asked to have for breakfast he asked from some cheerios.  I obliged but came back 5 minutes later to find the milk in the bowl gone and not a single cheerio eaten. 

Hello

I drove up to the McDonald's drive through with Little Man in the back seat.  We stopped on the first big sign before the intercom to wait our turn. 

Little Man yells out:  "Hello!....It talks mommy."
Me: "Oh yeah?  Not this one.  The next one does."

We then pull forward and I make my order.  As I begin to pull forward Little Man yells out.... "HELLO!"

Woman Stuff

My mom had come for the day.  While here I left her with Addilece so I could pick up Little Man from school.  During this time Addilece had helped my mom make a lemon and honey drink for me.  When I got home Addilece declares:

"Mom, I helped Nana make woman stuff."
