Stinker

Leila drew with marker all over her arms.

Dad:  "Leila. What happened to your arms?"
Leila:  "I drew on them with marker."
Dad:  "Why did you do that?"
Leila:  "Cause mom told me not to."

Stinker...

Only My Kids....

Only my kids play telephone by calling the hospital to schedule a time to get a transplant and to cure osteomyelitis...

Pluto (the one that is no longer a planet)

Eden went to her cousin's birthday party.  They had cake and a few cupcakes.  Eden wanted a cupcake with those large, circle sprinkles on top.  She excitedly came up to me and said,

"Look at this cupcake!  It has little Plutos on it!  Pluto had babies!"

A side note:  Once upon a time Eden learned her planets.
Then we kind of forgot about most of them.
But her favorite was little Pluto...and then it was no longer a planet.
She refuses to believe its not a planet.

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.
