I was combing Evie’s hair today. It’s getting really long and therefore, can hurt a little. I told her I needed to get her one of those special brushes. She says:
“You mean one of those unnatural detangling brushes? They tangle the snarls out!”
This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!

Nana – “Are you ready to get cleaned up?”
Evie – “Hold that thought. I need to finish my milk.”
Having a discussion about when Evie goes to school. Got to the part about how she will have to obey the rules. Her response:
“Yeah, that’s the tricky part!”
Mom and Dad were tucking Evie into bed. As they’re walking out, they give each other a little kiss and hear:
“Is that necessary!?!”
After putting some Chapstick on her lips, she gave me a hug and said:
“Nana, you’re the best.”
I said “Oh, really! How come?” She said:
“Because you take care of me!”
I was gonna ask her if her little finger felt weird with me all wrapped around it like that!
Nana – “Your feet are dirty!”
Evie – “Yeah, I didn’t take a B-A-T-H today!”
We were playing outside with a bucket of water. I saw Evie try to climb into the bucket and stopped her. A couple of minutes later she was trying to dunk her head in. I said not to dunk her head in, either. She said she was trying to just get her hair wet to “see if it would color change”.
Pretend butterflies came to visit today. A pretend picture was taken. According to Evie, it will be sent to National Sea-ographic.
Evie – “Nana, was that you or me?”
Nana – “What do you mean?”
Evie – “Well, I think I smell a stunk!”
Evie – “Uh, Nana, turn on the light. We have a situation here!”
