We hit up three parks this morning while Marcel took a morning nap in the car.  Freezing but oh so fun!

"How is dues, Mom?"  or "He doesn't know how it dues!"  Dues = how does it work or referring to how someone does something. 

"What you said, Mom?"  When you didn't hear me, or when you overhear me talking on the phone and you are been nosy :)  

"That's funny!!"  While belly laughing at the latest thing that makes your all giddy with excitement.  It is the best and most joyful thing. 

"Oh!  I choomed!"  In reference to you sneezing and the fact that Mamie and Papa both say "choom!" after you sneeze instead of "bless you".

"Darnit! Oh, it's ok Mom.  We can say that one!"  When your crayon slipped off the coloring book causing a mark on the table.

"I'm pooping!"  Every single time  you push the entire time you are pooping (usually a minimum of TEN minutes!)  you have to let us know with great enthusiasm.

"It's ok Mom.  It's ok!!"  In response to me telling you not to do something. 

A few sad, but sweet things you have said in the past few days:

After I had to discipline you for being disobedient I asked if you understood what we had talked about and your replied while wiping the tears from your face, "Understood Mom. That was awful!"  Indeed it was my love, more awful for me than you to be certain!! 

"I don't want a new tooth!"  While I was looking at your FOUR big molars popping through after you expressed something was going on with your teeth. 

"I want you to stay wiff me, Mom.  There's too many people and I have to make a new friend but I don't have one.  It makes me feel bad."  On our way to Bible study on Wednesday.  Broke my heart! 

"I don't like my rest today.  I saw Mamie but she isn't here!"  In response to me asking how you slept over breakfast.  You miss her every day. 

"I want Grandma! I need Kendrick.  Everyone leave me.  It makes me sad!"  In a moment of pure emotional drama after being told you couldn't have candy because you were talking back to me. 

(Pictures from an impromptu drive by visit to the horses with Uncle Marky this afternoon.  Being outside does us all good, and Marky just makes everything all the better!  You and Marcel both are extremely fond of him.)
