The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy:  My big toe is on a different place on my other foot.

Dorothy has Peppa Pig socks, which she was putting on inside-out:  It does fluffy Peppa Pig and no plain Peppa Pig!

Dorothy:  Can I open presents today?**
Sarah:  I think you already opened all of your presents.**
Dorothy:  Can I play with my already presents?

Waking up on the day after her birthday:**
Sarah:  Good morning, three-year-old!**
Dorothy:  I'm not three years old.  It's another day.

Dorothy was setting-up a board game, and she handed me the instructions sheet and said, "Here is the table of contents."

Dorothy opened a sweet birthday card from her Aunt Jean, which had a pastel, smiley bumblebee on the cover holding a birthday flower.  Dorothy opened it and announced, "It has some sort of bug on it."

There is a new girl in Dorothy's class named Brynn, and Dorothy talks about her.  Today she said, "Brynn and I saw something on the floor in the classroom.  We didn't know what it was so we went over to check it out.  We thought it was food."**
Me:  "What was it?"**
Dorothy:  "It was something that fell off of a band-aid."**
Me:  "Was it a band-aid wrapper?"**
Dorothy:  "Yes.  Brynn ate it."**
[Me = surprised face]**
Dorothy:  "It's okay!  Brynn is just a baby, so it's okay."**
Me:  "Did she just lick it, or eat it and swallow it?"**
Dorothy:  "She ate it.  But it's okay!  She is just a baby."

Dorothy brought a small mermaid toy for show-and-tell at school.  Afterwards, she told us:
"I brought a mermaid with no name, and another girl brought a mermaid, too.  The teacher said, 'Is her name Ariel?'  AND IT WAS!"

Dorothy's 3rd Birthday Party

Making the cake
Friends in the park...






Concern over the wind and the flames
Dorothy had a slice of cake
And a "decorate-your-own cupcake"
Jump!
After the party

The Sunday Funnies


I close Dorothy's bedroom door at night until she says "red light", then I leave it cracked at the suggested width.  As she often does, Dorothy was pretending to be a baby, so just before I left the room I asked, "Do babies say 'red light' or 'gaa gaa goo goo'?"  She said in a high pitch, "They say wed wight in their wittle voice."

With our tacos for dinner I gave Dorothy a spoonful of refried beans; she tasted it, set the spoon down, and declared, "This is not tasty peanut butter."

Dorothy is in her dinosaur stage; she referred to her gummy vitamin shape as a "t'rex-a-saurus" (pronounce the "Tt" sound, not the letter).  Also, it's a "vitamint".

Playing outside:  "I am going to use this watering can and dump out the water to make the flowers happen."

We visited a friend's house to swim.  Dorothy walked into the backyard and saw the many pool noodles and floats in the pool; then she ran back to me, yelling excitedly, "Mama, this pool has all the things!"

Dorothy:  "More cucumber."**
Mom:  "You want MORE cucumber?!"**
Dorothy:  "I want to eat more cucumber until we run out of some cucumber."

"What can you do for me?"  This is Dorothy's prompt whenever she wants me to suggest a snack, a treat, a toy, etc.
