I've got an almost five-year-old girl. She talks. Alot. She's got a treasure trove of insightful, heartwarming, and downright funny quotes. Here are a couple that popped out of the little jabberbox tonight:
Quote #1: (First, the context.) We were at the mall, which is one of her favorite places to be. (She is so her mother's child.) We were perusing the little girl clothes as she's quickly graduating from toddlers. As she's giving me directions from her perch on my shoulders, she spots something interesting and steers me over. In my peripheral vision I see a tiny, not so baby-fatty hand point down at a rack of training bras that I didn't realize I was standing next to. Already uncomfortable, I hear her little voice peep, "Dad, are you ready for [me to be in] those?"
"What?! NO! WHAT?!! NO, you're staying a kid forever!"
So Mommy, mischeviously grinning from ear to ear, asks my munchkin, "Do you know what those are for?"
The far-too-little princess proudly proclaims for half the store to hear, "BOOBYTIME!"
Trust me, there's no inside family joke here. She came up with that one on her own.
Quote #2: Just a second ago, as I'm trying to type this tale through chuckling fingers, she gets a really pensive look on her face and then asked in all seriousness, "Mom, Dad, why do you guys have blogs and I don't?"
I didn't ask her what she thinks a "blog" is as I was suddenly struck by the fact that my kid is way smarter than me.
Out of the mouths of babes come the darndest things.

Sooooooo cute!
That's why I love kids and babies. They are so smart and funny. What you wrote about your little daughter made me smile. Thank you! Hehe, my fiance says the same thing when we talk about our future daughters. He won't let them grow up. I just think girls are so cute and easier than boys to raise, what do you think? And about loving the mall, I love the mall too! I'll take my daughter, if I ever have one, to the mall and buy her cute clothes, shoes, bags, etc... fun fun!
my daughter wants one of those, however, like you said, they will stay kids forever, right!?

Adorable.
I have a six-year-old brother, so yes, they say the darnest things 99.9% of the time. Your daughter is too cute.
I haven't been on here in a couple of months and I was so shocked and happy to see your recent photos and weight log! Wow! You really look GREAT! Keep up the good work. That's so awesome, and you inspire me to keep going. You're almost there!
LOL if I could survive "sex ed" for my now 9th grade boy, you can survive training bras, etc for your little princess. I thought I wanted to be swallowed by the floor though!!
I also have a 5 year old (turning 6 in September) and I am constantly amazed at the things that come out of her mouth. They are certainly a lot smarter than we were at that age. Your little girl sounds simply adorable!
For stopping by my blog. 44 lbs lost is really a great accomplishment.
Interval training for me is really difficult. I only have motivation to do it every now and then...but I try. I just prefer a nice steady pace over the interval training.
Thats probably why I am not losing too much anymore!
