Today was a doozie. The things that come out of my daughter's mouth astonish me, and make me laugh. I don't know where she comes up with this stuff. I had to write to capture some of it...
-This morning, while coloring with markers, Kin decided to color on herself. I reminded her that if she continued to do that, we would have to put the markers away. To this she replied, "But Mommy, I need to go color on myself."
- Later in the day, Kinnie and I were in her room, playing with her new Dora doll. I play the role of Dora, and Kinnie played herself. Dora grabbed one of Kinnie's toys and said, "It's mines" (meaning, it is mine). Kinnie grabbed the toy from Dora, and said, "No, it's mines." Dora became upset, and asked, "why don't you want to share with me?" To this, Kinnie offered an extensive explanation; something like: "it's special because we got it at the store and so it's special and it's mines." Dora couldn't argue with that.
- On our afternoon walk, with Kinnie in the stroller, and Daddy with the dogs on leash, Kinnie said, "I'm mad at Daddy. Daddy is Daddy Gay." (This remark is thanks to my little brother and his "teachings.") I asked why she was mad at Daddy, and she said, "No, I'm not mad at Daddy. I'm curious." Hmmm...
- At dinner, the discussion turned to private parts. Kinnie looked at Daddy and said, "You have a vagina."
- Kinnie stubbed her toe this evening, and Daddy tried to kiss it. She said, "Daddy, don't touch me. I'm special."
Yes, Kinnie, you are special. I wish I could record every day, all the times you make me laugh. Of course there were other moments today, like when you pooped in the tub. As I was scrubbing it out, you turned off the bathroom lights and refused to turn them back on. That was not fun. But now that all the bleach I could find has been used to disinfect the bath, I can even laugh at that, too. Anyone who does not believe that parenthood is an incredible adventure is not paying attention.
