Alina drew this the other day. Daddy has the HUGE head and then I am the tiny head next to him. Then it goes Ethan, Alina and Meagan (L-R). It's hard to see on here, but we are all wearing blue glasses. The "message" at the bottom says, "Mom, you need to put this on your blog." (at least that's what she told me it said when I asked her.)
The other day she asked me at breakfast, "Mom, how many calories are in Lucky Charms?" (Not an eating disorder in the making. Chris and I have been trying to be more conscious of our calorie intake and didn't realize she was picking up on it. Little sponges, aren't they?)
New favorite phrase: "I'm not used to this show" (meaning she has not yet watched it over and over again and doesn't like it)
"This snow is sneezey" (referring to the cottonwood stuff floating around outside)
NiNi is obsessed with looking at her back in the mirror and now only wants to wear what she calls "shoulder bone dresses" (i.e. dresses that have spaghetti straps that, well, show off her shoulder bones). This has actually been going on for more than 6 months, but has just recently been promoted to true obsession status. It's cute now, but let's hope she outgrows it by the time she's 13.
We just happened to be talking about Ethan and I mentioned to NiNi, "You know, when we pick up Ethan, mommy and daddy will have to be gone for a long time" To this she replied, "Good, 'cause you are bossy"
NiNi has been struggling with the whole boy/girl concept. The other day she gave me a ziplock bag of bracelets all wrapped up with tissue paper and said, "Mom, this is a present for baby Ethan...for when he turns into a girl"
We were all sitting around at the table and for some reason talking to the girls about when they grow up and get married. NiNi said, "How will we get married if there are only two boys?" Meaning, daddy and Ethan. She was thinking we would all marry eachother. So sweet when they still want to marry their daddys.
