{during General Conference, while I mindlessly

downloaded fonts and listened to the good word}

Belle: I wanna go somewhere,

Me: Not right now. We're watching Conference.

Belle: You're not watching Conference.

Me: Um. I'm listening?

{BUSTED}

I'm a good girl. Well, sometimes I'm naughty. I'm naughty when I want some-sing.

{at least you're honest}

Belle: Who gave us these eggs?
Me: Grandma Cheney.

Belle: Grandma Cheney?

Me: Yes, Grandma Cheney.

Belle: Uh...Jodi?

Me: Yes, Jodi gave them to us.

{to the tune of I Am Like A Star, while holding a square frame around her face}

I am like a square shining brightly!

Belle: What does Daddy speak?

Me: English and Japanese.

Belle: And what do you speak?
Me: English.

Belle: And what does (great) Gram speak?
Me: English.

Belle: And what does (cousin) Tymon speak?

Me: English.

Belle: {thinking} And what does Blacky (Tymon's dog) bark?

Me: Good question!

When are we going to Old Gravy?

I love you more than MOST!

{after I throw on a pair of ill matching pajamas pants}

That does not look great.

{when Jess and I walk into the room that she's playing in}

Hey guys! Join the family!

+

{a few hours after I attempt to explain the meaning of the word "navigating"}

Are you navi-gum-ating the car Mom?

I spy with my little eye, something in my hand that is red!

+

Belle: I spy with my little eye, the color pink that's on my baby's shirt!

Me: Is it...um...your baby's shirt?

Belle: YES! YOU GOT IT! It's my baby's shirt!

{after watching Numbers Ahoy! during which the sharks lose their teeth}

When I was a shark, my teeth falled out. You know that?

+

{after searching for a toy}

I don't know exactly where it is...

{as Lydia crawled into the bathroom, which she was occupying at the moment}

Welcome to joining me in the bathroom!

+

{as we go up our three flights of stairs to our apartment, to me}

Hey! Are you holding on to the railing Missy?!

+

How does your life go?

{I think she meant, "How's life going?"}

+

{running out to our car}

Where's the freakin' car? Where's the freakin' car?!

+

{during a tantrum}

Me: Why are you crying Annabelle?

Belle: Because I'm FREAKING OUT!

+

I'm gonna go to the bathroom real fast Lou Lou, so don't freak out.

+

{while pushing her stroller past me and Lou Lou}

Sorry. I'm a wild load.

+

{as we finish up a hike}

Let's go home, have a bath, then painting my finger nails. How does that sound?

+

Rosie and Clare-Issa (dolls) are my best friends. They each are my best friends.

+

Peter and Neil (from White Collar) are my boys.

{awesome}

+

{while Lou slimes her with food}

Lou Lou! Gross! You must have to not do this!

+

{while we waited for Daddy to come back from a little trail during a hike}

Um, I'm hating Daddy going away.
