Spanish?

Today Olivia was standing in front of the mirror, completely naked. She had just gotten out of the bath, and lately she's enjoyed running around before she gets dressed...

Anyway, she said "I see my butt", and then died laughing.

I said, "Olivia, let's don't say butt. You can call it your bottom or hiney, okay?"

She said, "But Mom, butt is the Spanish word, so I need to say it."

Oooohhhhh, she's smart. Very, very smart.
And I'm about 99.99% sure that "butt" isn't Spanish.

Horton Who?

Gracie ate a Horton and a who.

Singing: The ants go marching two by one, hurrah, hurrah! The ants go marching two by one, hurrah, hurrah! The ants go marching two by one, hum, hum, hum, hum and suck his thumb. Ran up the clock...

Are You Smarter than a 3 Year Old?

Today I turned 31. Yep, I'm that old. Olivia said so many funny things today, she was just in a "mood" as we call it...

As Jeremy was parallel parking the car in front of our house, she turned around, looked out of the back window and said, "You're good, Daddy."

She told me tonight, "You are going to read one more book or else go to a time out."

She also didn't believe I was 31, but I didn't dare ask if she thought I was older or younger.

Getting Married

This morning, Olivia has about 50 or so animals on the couch. This includes stuffed animals, little people, misc. Happy Meal toys, a sting ray, a plastic airplane and a zhu-zhu pet.

She says, "Mommy, my animals are on the couch because they're getting married."

She is very serious about this marriage business. We discuss it a lot. I'm starting to wonder if this is normal, or if I should be concerned...

Shu-she

Today our car was finally fixed, after waiting for several weeks to have it "diagnosed" and then repaired... to celebrate, we decided to go get sushi, or as Olivia calls it "shu-she". This is a BIG deal, especially here, because the sushi place is pretty far away and we have never gone there as a family.

Anyway, we were sitting outside tonight and Olivia looked over at a condo building across the street and said, "Look Mom, a hell-tel!". That's what she calls hotels. Still one of my favorite mispronunciations!!!

It seemed like the time...

I continually post stuff on Facebook about funny things our oldest daughter says... however, I thought it would be easier to post on here and maybe less annoying to those friends who don't find it as funny as we do. This post will be a re-cap of things said over the past several weeks, and then with new posts will come new stuff. Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment, and I'll read it to Olivia. =)

*****************************************************************
Olivia overheard me on the phone with Jeremy, talking about our truck being at the mechanic. She said, "So, the car isn't ready yet?" I said no. "Well, I guess Santa isn't done working on it yet!"

Today at lunch, Ava dropped her cup. Olivia said, "Oh, pobrecita!" Even in Spanish, she cracks me up.

Olivia, why did you throw that marker lid down there?
O: Because, you're a big girl. You can get it! You can rescue animals and do all kinds of stuff. Oh my!

Mom, last night I did some reeeeally hard arkwork.

"My doll has to go to the store. You know, the one in San Se-spatula." (The real name of the town is San Sebastian.)

Mom, I pee-peed in the grass like a dog.

Moses had a Christmas tree and it burned into a snake, and then it burned into a staff.

Mommy, did you know Kai-lan speaks Spanish?!?

"Mommy, sometimes when big girls don't shave their arms, they get these spotty things. Did you know that?"


I just had to threaten a baby doll. If she didn't stop talking, she was going to have to nap in a different bed. Yeah, I'm tough

Olivia and I are sitting out back talking. Gracie starts barking. Olivia says "Grace, not while we're talking."

Mommy, what is that picture of?
Well, that is from the day Daddy and I got married.
Was Cinderella there?
Um, no.
Why?
...I think she was out of town.
Yeah, she probably went to see her grandparents.
Was I there?
Well, you weren't born yet, so no.
Aww, I wanted to be there though...
