Random Conversations from Around Our House

Elizabeth: "Mommy, I'm just so proud of myself for being a kindergartner."

Me: "Amelie, say 'Mama!'"
Amelie: "Dada."
(Every time!)

Me, after finding out that Elizabeth feels sad at recess because she misses me: "Honey, if you really, really feel sad, you can go up to Mrs. Johnson and tell her that you miss your mommy."
Elizabeth: "Well, I already go up to her every recess and ask her when I get to go home."
(Elizabeth actually loves kindergarten and is excited to go every morning. And yesterday, after we talked about her feeling sad at recess, she had a great recess time!)

Me: "Amelie, who put drool all over my arm?"
Amelie: "Dada!"

Elizabeth: "I want to ride the bus every day. Do you know why I like to ride the bus so much?"
Me: "No, why?"
Elizabeth: "Because it goes super fast and is really bumpy. And if you're the third person in the seat, it's hard to stay in your seat without falling into the aisle!"
Me: "So you like the bus because it's like going on a ride at the fair?"
Elizabeth: "Yes!"

Me: "Amelie, what does a cow say?"
Amelie: "Moo!"
(I know. You were expecting "Dada" on that one, weren't you?)
