5 Easy Steps

While Uncle Justin, Grammie, and Papa were trying to figure out how to put the batteries into her iXL and not having any luck. Amelia came up to them with the instructions for inserting the batteries and said here follow these easy five steps foe the batteries.

The Grinch

While watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas Amelia asked if the Grinch had a Mommy.  I told her he did have a Mommy, but she wasn't on the show.  Amelia said "Grammie said he doesn't have a Mommy.  I think he is mad for not having a Mommy and that's why he stole all of the presents."

Money

Amelia was playing on her toy cell phone talking to Andy.  She told Andy that she couldn't buy it because she didn't have any money and that you can't buy money you just have to have money.  She then told Andy that if you don't have money you're out of luck.

She then hung up with Andy and said bye Mom, I'm going to Starbucks.  I said you are? She told me yes Mama I live at Starbucks and work at dayschool.

Princess

Today at Target we were walking through the toy section.  Amelia saw a baby Cinderella doll.  She grabbed it and said "Oh Mommy I must have this for Christmas.  She is so beautiful." then she hugged and kissed the packaging.

Itchy

Amelia was scratching her tush and saying itchy, itchy, itchy.  When Michael asked her what was wrong she told him I think I have itchybumitis.  Where do she come up with this stuff?

We were sitting at the dinner table and Amelia looked over at some bears on the wall and asked where did you get that from.  Papa told her your Mommy made those she is very crafty.  Amelia said "My Mommy is not crappy."

Just like Dora

We were watching Dora's birthday celebration.  Amelia said when I grow up I'm going to be just like Dora, and I'm going to be brown too.  But it's going to take me a long time to be brown.

That's the sound an orca makes

Michael was giving Amelia a bath.  She was prentending she was a dolphin.  Michael told her when we go to Sea World she will get to see dolphins and killer whales.  Amelia asked him what is a killer whale.  Michael said it was an orca.  She then tooted in the tub and told Michael that is the sound an orca makes.  She was so proud of herself.

Mom's crazy

Amelia was playing with her tinkerbell cell phone.  She handed me the phone and said I needed to talk to Tinkerbell.  I took the phone and said "Hi, how are you doing?  Oh really.  Nope she can't talk right now she is going to take her nap.  Okay bye."  I gave the phone back to Amelia.  She then dialed on the phone and said "I can talk.  My Mom's crazy and doesn't know what she is saying.  I'm not taking a nap."  Then went on talking to Tinkerbell about her day.

Not the same

Amelia: Daddy's not the same
Me: What do you mean Daddy's not the same
Amelia: He's not white
Me: Yes he is
Amelia: No he's not.  I'm white, your white, and baby's white
Me: So is Daddy
Amelia: No he's not the same
Me: What color is Daddy then?
Amelia: Brown.  He's not the same.
Me: Yes he is.  Just because he is darker than us doesn't mean he is different.  He's still a person
Amelia: Mama he's not the same.

Ariel is a mermaid. She lives in the sea. But she doen't live in a pineapple under the sea. 

Dopey

Mom Dopey can't talk because he doesn't have teeth. You have to have teeth to talk.

Daddy doesn't listen

Amelia: Mommy, Daddy didn't listen to me.
Michael: Yes I was listening to you.
Amelia: No you didn't. I said pick me up and you didn't pick me up.
Michael: You didn't tell me to pick you up
Amelia: Yes I did. I said it quietly. You're not listening this year.
Michael: I do listen.
Amelia: Not this year huh Mommy he doesn't listen.
Me: Nope and you don't listen all of the time either.
Amelia: Yes I do.
Michael: There's no winning this one.

He'll blode

While eating dinner I told Xavier "I think I made you way too much food bud". Amelia replied " you don't give him too much Mama he'll blode".

Dinner

We were at Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. 

Me: I'm so proud of you for eating all of your dinner.
Amelia: I love dinner.  It makes me grow big and strong.
Me: Yes it does.
Amelia: (standing up) Look Mama I'm growing bigger now (as she reaches her arms up to the sky)
Me: Wow

Movie Theater

Amelia and I went to see Toy Story 3.  We were sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start.  The previews started playing and Amelia said to me "It's so loud I can hear it in my butt".  Only a three year old would think of that.

Juice

Amelia:  Mommy guess what.
Me: What?
Amelia:  I know how to make juice and frosting.
Me: You do?  How do you make frosting?
Amelia:  I don't know.
Me:  You just told me you know how to make juice and frosting.
Amelia:  I do.
Me:  How do you make juice?
Amelia: You need juice, frosting and a spoon.
Me:  Then what?
Amelia:  Put them in a bowl and stir really fast.  Only girls can make juice.  Boys don't know how so I have to make it for them.
Me:  Oh really.
Amelia: Yes Mommy, boys don't know how to make anything.

Song In My Tummy

Laurie Berkner has a song called Song In My Tummy. It goes like this:

I've got a song in my tummy
And it wants to come out
I've got a song in my tummy
I've got a song in my tummy
And it wants to come out
I've got a song in my tummy
I've got a song in my tummy
And it wants to come out
And when it does I'm gonna sing and shout

This is Amelia's version:

I got a job in my tush
and it wants to come out
I got a job in my tush
I got a job in my tush
and it wants to come out
I got a job in my tush
and it wants to come out
and when it does I gonna scream and shout
I got a job in my tush

Then her second verse is
I got a sock in my tummy
and it wants to come out
I got a sock in my tummy
I got a sock in my tummy
and it wants to come out
I got a sock in my tummy
and it wants to come out
and when it does I gonna scream and shout
I got a sock in my tummy

It's not a living room it's a car garage

Amelia was playing with her toy cars in the living room.  I went in to see what she was doing:

Amelia:  "Mommy go away only cars are allowed in here.  This is the car garage"
Me: "Okay, but you're not a car so why do you get to stay?"
Amelia:  "Because I'm the teacher and we are planning a birthday party"
Me  "Who is having a birthday party?"
Amelia:  "Panda"
Me:  "Panda is not a car so why does Panda get to stay"
Amelia:  "Because it's his party"

I guess I should have known.

Woof

We were on the way to the zoo and Amelia said "Mommy I want to ride on the wolf" (she pronounced it woof).  I told her "It's wolf not woof".  Amelia said "Okay, Mommy can I ride on the coyote?"

Questions

Grammy if you don't have a door how do you get out of your house?

How do ducks swim in the water if there isn't any water?

How do you play hide and seek if you don't have a tree to hide behind?

Daddy's in time-out

Michael spilled my drink and I was angry about it.  I was cleaning up the mess and Amelia told Michael "Daddy your in time-out for spilling Mommy's drink and making her mad.  All she wants to be is happy and you spill her drink and make her mad.  You're not supposed to make her mad she just wants to be happy.  Now you tell Mommy you're sorry."  Michael told me he was sorry.  Amelia then told him "Okay Daddy you can come out of time out. Now give me a hug and don't ever do that again."

I'm so smart

Today we were driving in the car.  Amelia asked Grammie "Do you know where the ocean lives?" Grammie replied "no". Amelia then told her "At the beach.  I'm so smart."

Amelia after going potty

Amelia had finished going potty.  She has this facination with having us look after she is finished going potty.  This was our conversation:

Amelia: Mommy look at my pee pee.
Me: I can't right now I'm feeding Xavier
Amelia: Mommy look
Me: Okay
Amelia: Is my pee pee beautiful?
Me: Laughing, oh yes it is a beautiful yellow
Amelia: Does my pee pee smell beautiful?
Me: No! pee pee stinks
Amelia then leans over the potty and smells and said Mommy your wrong it smells beautiful
Me: No Amelia pee pee stinks, that's why we flush it.
Amelia: Mommy does my pee pee taste so yummy for my tummy?
Me: No sweetie pee pee is yucky we don't taste pee pee that's why it goes in the potty and gets flushed down the toilet.

She was then finished with her pee pee and went onto playing.
