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."
