An Invitation to a Ball

Elizabeth (3 years, 6 months)

Elizabeth loves to fetch the mail from the mailbox and when she brings it into the house she always asks if she can open it. I give her the pile of "junk mail" envelopes and let her open those and she always says, "I wonder if there will an invitation to a ball?" My little imaginative princess...

Princess Shiny Teeth

Elizabeth (3 years, 6 months)

Lizzie has taken a liking to brushing her teeth and whenever she does, she emerges from the bathroom with a big smile on her face and says, "You can call me Princess Shiny Teeth...because my teeth are nice and shiny!"

Ragamuffins

Elizabeth (3 years, 3 months)

Me: "Lizzie, go get your brush honey. I need to brush your hair."
(She runs off and returns with her brush)
Lizzie: "I will brush my hair all by myself. I will brush all the ragamuffins out of it."

Calls it Like She Sees it

A few days ago Lizzie patted my stomach then lifted up my shirt and said, "It's looking like we are going to have another baby!"

Uh, nope. Mama just has a fat belly! =)

He's Got the Itty Bitty Babies in His Hands

Elizabeth (3 years, 1 months)

While singing and dancing to "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands" Lizzie stopped suddenly after the verse, "He's got the itty bitty babies in his hands..." and said:

"He has ALL of the babies in His hands? He has so many hands?? I only have (she looks down and counts them) two hands. I could only hold two babies!"

"Yeah, I know Mary!"

Elizabeth (2 years, 10 months)

This summer the kids attended VBS at Great Grandma's church. On our way to the first day of VBS I was explaining to Lizzie that Mary (Frazier) would be in charge of the program. I asked her if she remembered Mary and she said, "Yeah, I know Mary...her had a little lamb!"

Pink?...or No Pink?

Elizabeth (2 years, 10 months)

While ordering a burger at Red Robin the waitress asked how I wanted it cooked. She said, "Pink?..or no pink?" I responded "Pink." and Elizabeth chimes in (quite excitedly and completely oblivious to the context of the conversation) with, "I want pink, I want pink!"

Golden Dime

Elizabeth (2 years, 10 months)


Lizzie walked up to Daniel and said, "Look Daddy, I found a golden dime!"
and then she showed him a nickle in the palm of her hand. =)

"Wee-yoo Wee-yoo"

Elizabeth (2 years, 2 months)

Whenever Lizzie sees or hears a fire truck, police car, ambulance, etc. she points and says "Wee-yoo, Wee-yoo". Even if it's way in the distance...

It's pretty cute!

Watermelon

Elizabeth (2 years, 1 month)

Lizzie LOVES watermelon and will eat as much as she can get her hands on. I just love how she asks for it. She's trying to say "Mommy, I want watermelon." but her version sounds like this:

"Mommy, I wanta wanta mewon."

The "wanta wanta" part cracks me up.
