It's that time again. Our dear Ayla constantly keeps us on our toes and is rarely silent. She's got so much to say and ask that I often have to remind myself to treasure each conversation. There will perhaps come a day when she doesn't want to talk to me ALL day, but for now, here are some of her newest gems....
-------------------------------
Making cookies
Mommy: "Ayla, I thought you were helping me?" (She left to play with toys.)
Ayla: "But Mommy, you're doing such a good job by yourself!"
-------------------------------
In the car
Ayla: "Daddy goes to work so we can have food and our house, and clothes and jammies, and our car."
Mommy: "How did you know that?"
Ayla: "Because I turned four!"
-------------------------------
Talking to her animals.
Ayla: "Elephant, I'm the boss today. You have to listen to me or I'm going to send you home....Excuse me?? That's strike one. I'm watching you. Now put your shoes on."
-------------------------------
Singing in the car on the way to Ohio for Thanksgiving. (Lincoln flew with Rhea and Jonathan and wasn't with us.)
Ayla: "Lincoln, I love you. You're always in my heart. Why are you so far away? I love you so much."
-------------------------------
Helping me fold clothes
Mommy: "Oh no! This shrunk!"
Ayla: "What does 'shrunk' mean?"
Mommy: "It means it got smaller. Sometimes when you wash things, they get smaller."
Ayla: (Look of horror) "So when I take a bath, I get smaller? But I thought I was growing up!"
-------------------------------
Random
Ayla: "Hey. What do turtles eat for lunch?"
-------------------------------
At breakfast
Ayla: "Me and my snowman went to a chicken coop and it was so stinky!" My snowman thought we were going to see horses."
Mommy: "Was this a dream?"
Ayla: "No. It happened just now when we were playing."
-------------------------------
Trying to sing Christmas songs.
Ayla "Mary and Joseph went to town, riding on a donkey. Stuck a feather in their hat and called it macaroni."
-------------------------------
In the car
Ayla: "If I'm bad, what will Santa bring me?"
Mommy: "Coal"
Ayla: "Just one piece? Or lots?
Mommy: "I'm not sure."
Ayla: (thinking)........ "Will he wrap the coal?"
-------------------------------
Mommy: "What would you like for Christmas?"
Ayla: "A Christmas present!"
