"Mom, when I was in your tummy it was like a party everyday. I had a slide and a trampoline in there and would do gymnastics all the time. After reflecting for a second she said, "I think I want to go back!"
"Mom, you don't let me do anything; I think I need a new mommie." I escorted her out the door and told her, "Good luck--come back and tell me who you found..." She quickly retracted her statement.
I was rocking her last week (as she insists on doing everyday) and I was telling her how I dreamed about her for soooo long and that she finally joined our family 4 years after Monson. She looked surprised and said, "Well, mom, Caleb was in my eye last night." What? What's in your eye? I figured out that this is the way she relates a dream...what she sees in 'her eye.' And apparently she's already dreaming of boys. JOYS.
"Next year I turn FIVE and I'll be almost as old as you!" (speaking to me...oh, how I love this girl!)
I was picking my face and Lexie said, "Mom, you're really strange."
Whenever Alexandra is in a good mood and I ask her do something she replies, "I'd be delighted to."
It's the times like these that I sit back and chuckle at my kids that make all the other mommie stuff like outright defiance, tantrums, little arguments... just a little more bearable (I don't tolerate them, but keeping perspective is a big thing). My kids do make me laugh and bring me unexplainable joy...even if I do want to give them away sometimes!
Love you first, Lexie!

Cute Lexie! Its so funny to hear the things that kids come up with. And, I agree that you need those things to get through the crazy times with them. On Sat Mattie through her first tantrum in the store, and I had to stop what I was doing and take her outside. About an hour and a half later, out of no where, she says, "Mommy, I'm sorry that I was so mean to you at the other store!" It melted me!
How do you frame photos on a post? I am so not creative but I have to learn. Lexie Loo is very funny. I need to remember to write down the funny things my kids say.
gosh I love that girl!!! what a cutie patootie. she's sure came up with some gems!
Totally hilarious. When Jos and Jon were about 3 and they were coming to grips with the knowledge that they were twins and grew in my tummy TOGETHER, Josie one day in a rare fit of chumminess told Jon, "Remember in mommy's tummy and we played and I talk to you? Jon, in a bad mood responded, Well! I not talka YOU!".
Isn't it fun to blog these things--you think you are going to remember this stuff but you don't!
I love her self portrait eyelashes!!! She really is so precious. Kelly and I reflect often on how wonderful it was having her and Izzie here when you were on bed rest and in the hospital with Viv's.
LOVE the self portrait, and the real photo portrait shows she's got a lot of her daddy too. Her little blurbs are hilarious!
That's funny, I didn't realize we had both posted our '04 kiddos artwork on the same day. She is quite the artist!! And so cute.
You need to get a jar and tie some cute ribbon around it and tag it "a year of magical thinking" and write these gems on little slips of paper and deposit them into the jar for future chuckles! Read them at her wedding.
