Me: We can only pick one of those things.
H: I want to do the outside and the wash the babies and the walk.
Me: How about we go on a walk and you can take your baby?
H: "Lay-a" (How she says "Yeah")

Chocolate Icing

We like to cook things in our house. H was helping me make cake tonight and wanted to read the icing recipe to me (along with most of the cookbook).
Here is her recipe for icing:

H: We need the chocolate. First the chocolate. And then the chocolate milk.
Me: What about sugar?
H: Yeah...the sugar. And then more chocolate. And we stir. I see the butter.
Me: We're mixing it together.
H: I want to eat it.

Bathroom Art

Two recent episodes of bathroom art - both of the clean and dirty varieties....

In the bathtub:
H: I want to do the color, mommy. I need a picture.
Me: What kind of picture?
H: Of a spider. And Boots.
Me: Ok...here's a spider and a pair of boots.
H: NOT THOSE BOOTS. Make the Dora and her "pend" Boots. And Boots has the "liddle" boots. They red.
Me: Ok, Dora, Boots, and his boots. What else?
H: The spiders. And the mommy and the daddy. And the "liddle" spiders. They a family.

After pooping in the potty:
H: I all done Mommy. I get off the big potty. (notices poop). WHAT THAT?
Me: That's poop. You pooped in the potty.
H: (puts both hands on rim of toilet and looks closer at the poop). I MADE IT! That's a poop.
Me: Yep. Now wipe.
H: And I "plush" the poop. Bye, poop.
