Raising Drama

Eden can be such a drama queen.

But I figure that it comes with being a girl....I know that I was the same way when I was little.

The other day, we took a trip to Target and I ended up buying a dollar gift for each of the girls.  Eden wanted these princess rings.  She had ballet later that night and I told her that she shouldn't wear them because they could fall off (they were quite loose on her fingers).  But she INSISTED on wearing one.  I told her, "OK, but if you notice that it gets hard to hold on to the ring then give it to the teacher so you don't lose it."  She agreed.

She ended up giving it to the teacher.

And we forgot the ring and left after ballet class.

After all sorts of drama in the car, there was a little silence...and then....

(Eden starts crying a little)

Eden:  "I'm trying not to cry but I left my ring with my teacher   

The only think with me are my hot candies, 

my blankie, and my tiny little tears!"

"Handful"

Instead of using the words "a lot" Leila uses the word "handful".

"There's a handful cars outside!"

"Me want handful treat treats."

Movie Time with Eden

Eden and I had a late night mommy/daughter movie night.

Eden chose out Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

It was quite entertaining to hear what Eden had to say...

(Snow White first comes to the dwarfs house and nobody is home)

"Snow White just walked into their house

cause she's a princess and can do that. 

I can't just walk into people's houses."

(Snow White is cleaning the cottage)

"Everything there is made of wood. 

There is no carpet. 

If they walk around barefoot, they will get slivers."

(The dwarves sneak up the stairs to see Snow White upstairs)

"Look at their stairs! 

They need to be careful cause they have no railing. 

They may fall!"



Edenish

Eden has developed a new language (both written and spoken) which she has come to call "Edenish".  She often tells me how to say and write things in Edenish.  She also says that she wants to go door to door teaching people her language.

Milking It For All Its Worth

(Leila hits her head on the fireplace)

(Cries)

Leila:  "Need bandaid mom!"

Mom:  "You can't put a bandaid between your eyes.  Want some ice?"

Leila:  "Yeah.  Need ice!"

Mom:  "OK."

(Gets ice)

Leila: (sad face) "Need movie.  Make it feel better."

Mom:  "You need a movie to help it feel better?"

Leila: (sad face) "Yeah....WonderPets....save the goldfish."

(Mom laughs a little...and decides to turn it on for her)

Leila: (sad face) "And need b." (blankie)

(Mom gets her b)

Leila: (sad face) "And soft b."  (another soft blanket on her bed)

Mom:  "No.  I think you're ok now."

Missing Daddy

Leila says pretty much every day...

"Daddy...pick up me...Tuesday."

(or another random day)

Old People

Me and Leila were playing on the swings.

Leila:  "Underdog!"

Me:  "OK."

(Push her and go back to my swing)

(Twist myself on the swing)

(Leila looks at me)

Leila:  "No twist mom.  You old people.  Get dizzy."
