Heart-beep

Lizzy, after running around the house: "Mom! Feel my heart-beep!"

"My just a little bit hungry"

Lexi and Lizzy were counting candles to put on my cake tonight. They are brats. I don't think we need candles, but whatever. Anyway, while they were counting candles I asked how many sandwiches they wanted. Lexi is just like me... she can't count and talk... and I caught her at candle number 11:

Me: "Lexi, how many sandwiches do you want?"
Lexi: "11"
Me: "What?"
Lizzy (laughing): "Wow, Lexi want 11 sandwiches for her 11 years old. My just want three, for my am three years old and my just a little bit hungry."

Y-C-May

We went to the Y last night. Lizzy was so excited to go to daycare, and the big kids were so excited to shoot baskets.

As we were leaving, Lizzy was talking about all the fun things she did at daycare. Jake was egging her on:

Lizzy: "My had so much fun."
Jake: "Where?"
Lizzy (pointing at the Y): "There!"
Jake: "But what is that place called?"
Lizzy: "You know, the Y-C-May!"

Penmanship Practice

This morning I turned the page in my planner, only to find that someone else had already done the same.

Lizzy is fascinated with writing her name. She writes it anywhere she can, and whenever she has a pen and paper (or a wall, or a piece of furniture). My planner is not off limits I guess.

And, interestingly, although she writes her name with an "i", if you ask her how to spell her name, she will tell you it is spelled "L-Z-Z-Y"

Lizzy's Amazing Ears

Brad and I were in the kitchen, helping Lexi study spelling words. Lizzy was in the bathtub. She apparently has awesome hearing....

Me: "How do you spell 'discontent'?"
Brad: "What does that even mean?"
Me: "Lexi, what does it mean? It's your spelling word."
Lizzy (from the bathtub): "Discontent mean camping.. you know, camping in a tent."

Cheering for Lexi

Lizzy's cheer/song: "Lexi gonna kick some butt, kick some butt"... you get the idea.

And, you'll notice Lizzy doesn't like to share her limelight... Morgan and Mary get quite the "look" when they try to steal my attention!

Genius!

Me: "Lizzy, this isn't a good show. I don't want you to watch it."
Lizzy: "Well, it's what is on."
Me: "Maybe you should shut the tv off."
Brad: "Or change the channel."
Lizzy: "Dad! You're a genius!"
