Felicity-isms

'Mommy, you should say thank you to me for the idea to buy chocolate buttons.'

'Thank you Felicity for thinking of getting chocolate buttons!  That was a great idea!'

'Felicity, you should thank me for buying chocolate buttons.'

'Thank you Mommy for buying me chocolate buttons!'

(me:) 'Thank you God for this beautiful day and for yummy chocolate buttons!'

(Felicity:)  'Thank you God for making me and taking care of me and for yummy chocolate buttons!'  (Felicity chuckling)  'I think God is laughing about that!'

Me:  Now, you know at nursery Mommy will always come and pick you up, right?

F: Yes.

Me:  And you know if you need the potty, you need to listen to your body and go as soon as you need to.  And you can close the doors with the butterflies on them.  And you wash your hands afterwards.

F: Yes.

Me: And if you need help, you know who you need to ask?

F: Yes

Me:  Who?

F:  I ask the Gaelic people.


(LOL!  As if they're another race of green aliens or something!)

Felicity sings to Titus when he gets upset in the car.  It's usually a sing-song of her own invention with words as they pop into her head, sometimes dependent on the things we're passing by in the car.  He loves this and it usually calms him.  After he's asleep, she usually says something like, 'Mommy, I singed to Titus and now he is asleep.  I singed him asleep.'

She wandered in while I was getting dressed.  I couldn't help but laugh loud when she said,

'Mommy!  Your knickers ('underwear' for those not sure of British lingo) are HUGE!  You have HUGE knickers!'

Oh, I laughed so hard.  Then I said,

'Yes.  My knickers *are* huge.  Maybe someday if you're lucky, you'll have huge knickers too.  But only if you are very lucky.'

(No body shaming over here.)

Her favorite thing to do still is to cut animals out of paper and play with them like paperdolls.  She was talking to a family of bunny rabbits as she snipped away the other day and I overheard..

'and see the mommy bunny?  and see this *llllllittle* baby bunny.......(and as she cut him out of the paper background....) and now you are being BORNed!
