There are a million things to write and I keep meaning to get them all down, but every night I look up and it's past 10 and I'm tired and I still haven't unloaded the dryer, and so I never get around to posting. But today Turtle said something too funny to put off until later. I was helping her get ready for her nap and she was twirling around the room - she likes to be a ballerina about 98% of the time. She asked me to dance with her so I did a few little pretend ballerina steps that I've picked up from watching
Angelina Ballerina. She stopped, shook her head, and said, "No, mommy, you don't dance. Mommies just do the dishes and stuff like that." Then she plopped herself into her bed with Mr. Lovie and snuggled in while I rolled on the floor laughing.
She's not ALL ballerina though. They have been doing lots of little science projects at preschool and last week, after I handed her a cup of water, she said, "Mommy, water is liquid and ice is a solid." "Yes, you're right," I said out loud, thinking to myself, "OMG, we have got to start putting more money in her 529 account to pay for this science prodigy to go to M.I.T.!" Then the other night as she was going to the bathroom at bedtime, she said, "Daddy, pee pee is a liquid and poo poo is a solid." And she cracked up.
So I'm going to hold off on panicking about paying for M.I.T. It was a good cross-application of her science knowledge, but the girl's favorite punch line is still "poo poo."
