Toast

The other morning, Olivia asked for toast for breakfast. I opened the pantry and said, "Sorry Honey, we're out of bread."
Olivia responded, "But I said I wanted toast."
And that's the day Olivia learned where toast comes from.

She got that Phrase from Daddy!

A few days ago, as Olivia jumped from the little kid table to my office chair, she boldly stated, "That was rock solid!"

While eating like a champ at lunch the other day, she said, "Look, I'm really hammering it down!"

Daddy's Getting Old

While getting ready for nap today, Olivia said, "Last night Daddy said he's getting old."
I thought she was just stalling at nap time, so I agreed, "Yeah, he is."
She looked down, and sadly said, "Oh, I'm sad about that."
I quickly explained that he's getting old very slowly and will still be young for quite a while. Apparently, she was really worried about this and had been thinking about it since last night.

Our Unique Performer!

Olivia LOVES to sing and dance. All she wants for Christmas is a microphone and blue cowgirl boots. Yesterday she created a song called, "Bug's First Lick." She certainly is one-of-a-kind!

Not Everyone Poops

We have a great Usborne book called, "Everyone Poops." Olivia's comment the other day reminded me of that book.

I caught a whiff of poop (a common occurrence at a daycare with 3 kids in diapers) and said, "Someone pooped."

Olivia responded, "Not me, because I'm a princess and princesses never poop."

That's when I thought about our great book. It tells us that elephants, birds, fish, and even bugs poop, but it never mentions princesses. Hmmm? Maybe they don't poop!

Olivia's Thoughts on a Mother's Job

Brandon: "I'm the Dad, Lila is the kid, and Livi is the mom."
Olivia: "Yeah, I make the decisions and balance the house."

It May Be Time for the "Don't Do Drugs" Talk

Olivia was playing in her tunnel the other day and acting really goofy. She said, "Mom, we're using swess. Do you know what swess is? (She stood up with the tunnel wrapped around her and then fell down.)

I responded, "No."

She answered, "It's candy that makes you fall down." (She stood up and fell down again.) "So we're using swess."
