Dorothy's favorite morning activity

Dorothy likes to eat Cheerios, sit on my bed, and listen to audio books about Disney princesses.

Afternoon at the ballet

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy reported from school:  We got to choose to be tadpoles or frogs.  All the other kids were frogs and I was the only tadpole.
Sarah:  Oh, that's nice.  Why did you want to be a tadpole?
Dorothy:  Because I love babies.

We went to see a local high school production of Peter Pan.  At intermission, after going to the restroom, Dorothy noticed many people walking around the lobby with ice cream and cupcakes from concessions.  Wide-eyed, Dorothy said, "Mama, there's all sorts of things to do here."  I said, "Like what?"  She said, "Follow me.  I'll show you."
We ended up with a peanut butter and chocolate double scoop.

Dorothy's first color-by-number

I colored the key, gave her instructions, and left her to it.  She sort of got it.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy:  Crap.  Crap.  Crap crap crap.
Sarah:  "Crap" is a bad-habit word, like "stupid".  So, don't say it at school, and if you, Daddy, or I say it at home, let's remind each other that it's a bad habit.  I don't think you knew that.  There are lots of bad-habit words.
Dorothy:  Can you tell me all the bad-habit words?

Standing at the Redbox with Dorothy:  When is the movie gonna slide right out?

Dorothy:  Dogs don't hatch from eggs.  They hatch from mothers.

Sarah:  What should we pack for our picnic?
Dorothy:  Yogurt and carrot spoons.
Sarah:  What are carrot spoons?
Dorothy:  They are spoons made out of carrots that Dad makes for me when he forgets to pack a spoon for our picnic.

Dorothy:  The crayon broke so I peeled off the ribbon.  (wrapper)

Dorothy:  Elsa, make some ice mountains.
Sarah:  Dorothy, I'm tired of playing pretend.
Dorothy:  You mean "Anna".

Watching Snow White, when the vultures are circling above the cottage where the Wicked Queen is about to poison Snow White:  Those big birds want to eat the poison apple.

More backyard ballet

Dorothy is more accepting of her food as a shish kabob
