Chicken

A snippet from the car:

Eliza: "Flap your wings, mom!"
Me: "Okay, I'm flapping."
S: "Eliza, can you do the chicken dance?" (She's learned this previously)
Eliza: "No."
S: "Why not?"
Eliza: "Cause I'm not a chicken!"

The kid has reasoning skills. That floors me.

Fistbump

Next time you see Eliza, ask her to say "fistbump." It comes out "smishfump" no matter how hard she tries. Hilarious.

Summer...

...is off to a good start!

The Graduate

Congrats Eli! And hook 'em horns! :)

Oh really?!

The other night before bed Eliza told us she was Jesus. Hrmmm... I always pictured Jesus' childhood with fewer tantrums. S said at least we don't have to pay for swim lessons! ;)

Stubborn

Me: Eliza, you are so stubborn.
Eliza: I'm NOT stubborn!!

Thanks for proving my point, kid. Getting dressed in the mornings has become quite a battle. Good thing she's cute.

Motivation?

At the dinner table...
Eliza: I want a sister.
T: You can't just have a sister sweetie. We have to make you a sister.
Eliza: DAD! MAKE ME A SISTER! [repeated a dozen times]



After school...
Me: I'm sorry I lost my temper this morning.
Eliza: It's okay, I find it.
