As relatively new parents, daily life with this growing, exploring little person continues to amaze us. Little A is wonderful and intense–sometimes her intensity drives us batty, but that’s her job as a kid, right? At 3 years old, she constantly says things that amaze us, as well as some things that are cute and crack us up…it’s just an incredible gift to watch her explore and learn about her world every day. She was a very late talker, and I knew that once she figured it out there would be no stopping her (there’s no silence, either–as I type she is carrying on a huge conversation with her soft dough, and tools…singing, chatting away to herself. Just amazing!)

So I feel the need to write these funny ’supergirl’ quotes down for posterity…while they are fresh in my mind–I’ll be adding to the list over time:

Around 2.5 yo–little A was crying about something (that was really not worth it, in our opinion), and Craig told her she didn’t need to cry. Her response to him was “I have to cry, it’s one of the things I do best!”

We frequently read an old Madeline book before bed time. One of the lines is “..they smiled at the good, and frowned at the bad”. When A ‘reads’ it, she says “…they smiled at the good, and grumped at the bad”

“Daddy, your face is fuzzy, you need to scrabe.” (shave).

Grandma and Papa go to Florida for the winter, so at Christmas my Mom was telling A that she would send her a letter from FL. her response: ” ‘A’ would be a good letter to send, Grandma.” Of course, my dad cut an ‘A’ out of wood, Mom painted it, and they mailed her an A. Silly kid…sillier grandparents!

We say “yes you are ___”…she says “no I amn’t!”

I’ll add more later…gotta run. We’re meeting friends at the movies this afternoon, to see Curious George.

Later…
