Recently:
"Let's go to the front door and use the ring-bell."
"Sometimes I just don't know how to sleep in my big bed and I need to come get in with you. And you say, 'Go back to your bed.' But remember how much you like to snuggle with me?"
"Can I have another lemon slice? My lemon isn't working very well."
"How was your day, Mama?" or "Tell me about your day." almost every day :)
Every morning we pass one of the elementary schools I work in on the way to Ms. Connie's. You call it "Little" (and the other is "Big"). You ask, "Are you going to Big or Little today, Mama?" I always answer "Little." If I try to answer anything else, you strongly advise I go to "Little" which is just down the street from where you are. :)
"Calleptiller."
"Eleflant."
"Blutterfly."
"Purple," you said. "Pur-ple," drawing it out a little. "Mama, can you say purple in Spanish?" "Morado," I answer. "I can, too!" you reply. "Puuur-ple."
"I think my list needs a snapple." (staple)
On a pretend, hands-at-our-ears phone call with me: "Mama, where are you?" "In our house," I replied. You took your phone down for a little pow-wow. "No Mama," you patiently explained, "You live in Florida." "Florida!" I exclaimed. " I'll bet we like living there!" "No, Mama," you replied, a little exasperated with me. " You live in Florida. I live in the City somewhere."
"My room is a 'isaster. 'Isaster!!"
As I tucked you in last night (Sunday night), "See you Monday."
Putting on a new pair of shoes (they look kind of like Toms), you said, hopefully: "Wow. Do these shoes make me look like a mom?"
