So Dorothy decided to sell some of her old toys to buy a certain Lego set. Goodbye, Peppa Pig set that Santa brought my 3-year-old!

We mailed a letter this weekend

The Sunday Funnies

I asked Dorothy's opinion on some new clothing choices, which included primaries, pastels, etc.  "I'm more into outer space colors," she informed me.

"How many hours do you think you've played with your Legos this weekend?" I asked.  "Do you expect me to count time?" Dorothy retorted.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy, fresh from bed:  "When I have a small stuffed animal in my bed, it feels like I'm supposed to take care of it.  When I have a big stuffed animal in my bed, I feel like it's taking care of me."

When I picked Dorothy up from school I told her that Brian had gotten his Covid booster that day, so he might be feeling bad and grumpy.  I meant that she should be kind and gentle, but she replied, "I'll stay away from him."

Dorothy let me know that a kid in her class used "the word that starts with an Hh that sounds like the Ff word."  After a few more questions, I figured out that she meant "heck."

Dorothy has decided to write a chapter book

We checked out some Halloween decorations around town this weekend

Out of the blue from the backseat, Dorothy said, "I feel like four is a big number, but three is a small number."

I asked Dorothy if she had any parrot stuffed animals for my pirate costume, and when she said no, I told her I would make one out of felt.  "And if you want to be really creative," she told me, "you can wear one of my flamingoes and dress it up like a parrot."
