This is Violet's costuming vision for her 5th birthday party. Polka dot backdrop optional. She is full of ideas lately.
Some random quotes from my dotty little girl:
"Mary! You are not a ghost. Look in the mirror." Mary is a white, stuffed dog.
"Boobies are funny." Said from the toilet, as she watched me get in the shower.
"Ouch! Mama, you need to clean this room. I stepped on this thing and it hurt." She said this after totally rejecting the verity of my own injury in her messy room.
"Mary stayed awake all night! She is teaching all the other animals to stay up all night!"
"Mama!! I slept in my clothes. I looked down this morning and I was like, OH My God! I never put pajamas on."
"That toothpaste is too spicy." We ran out of her mild, mint kid paste and she had to use the grown up stuff.
"Actually...Mary hates all animals...but only zoo animals." The word actually is a favorite of Violet's.
What have your kids been saying lately?

CUTE! I love Dots!!
ReplyDeleteWe've been using "picy" toothpaste lately. The boys love it.
"Actually" is a favorite word in these parts too. I giggle every time I hear it out of their little mouths. :)
Oh Kelly! That pic is amazing! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Mae too loves to start her explanations (usually something she hasn't done even if she's been reminded 137 times) with actually but only recently has she begun to pronounce it correctly. It would always come out as axally. Same with accidentally, axel-dently.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that photo! I got a kick out of the Violet quotes, too. My kids call anything with more flavor than a rice cake "spicy" too. And they love to say "actually."
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots!
ReplyDeleteAt a party last week my daughter was wearing a watch (no, she can't tell time). When my mother asked her what time it was, she looked at her watch and answered "it's cake time"
Love her style.
ReplyDeleteMy kids also feel that mint is spicy, which makes me want to grind up chipotle or jalapenos or something and go, 'well, what is THIS, then??' Our best guess is that anything with flavor is "spicy".
ReplyDeleteI am picturing that "Actually..." with a big dramatic hand on the hip and another in the air...
Zanders new phrase is "It's Magic!"...not to be confused with the comment after he first peed in the potty "Look mommy, my pee pee is "
ReplyDeletemagic...not quite the same effect with the last word cut off.
ReplyDeleteToo spicy, that's what my kids say about my toothpaste. Where do they get spicy from? It's just really minty.
ReplyDeleteOh, she is such a lovely, creative little darling....cute
