Apple Pie

While putting apples into the crust of an apple pie, some escaped and fell on the floor.  After I’d cleaned that up, I asked Evie to go get me the butter.  I then proceeded to forget to dot the pie with the butter before putting on the top crust.  We talked about the trouble I was having and she decided she was gonna help by making me a list.  She went and got this little drawing tablet she has and begin writing.  As she’s doing so, I hear:

“Butter, check.  Apples on the floor, not check”.

Faces

Mama tells this story:

“Evie was brushing her teeth and I heard her laughing like crazy.  Finally I asked her what she was laughing about.  She said ‘I was doing this?'”  (ie Making faces in the mirror and cracking herself up.)

 

 

New Arrangement

Evie’s new dollhouse is so big, I had to do some rearranging in her room for it to fit.  Dad tells this story:

“She came running out saying “Dad, you have to come see this, just come see, come see.”  Obviously very excited. Dad asked her what it was about.  She says “You just have to come see!  Nana changed it and it is soooooo glamorous!'”

Age Is Relative

Evie – “Dada, after your birthday I’m gonna be 5.

Dad – “That’s right.  And do you know how old I’ll be?”

Evie – “No, how old?”

Dada – “35!”

Evie – “You won’t even be able to fit in the house!”

Kids

She has these two pieces of styrofoam, a plastic drawer organizer and a flower that are her ‘kids’, Charles, Tails, Rachel, Eloise and Margaret.  Today she told her mother:

“Yup, I’m a mom.  That’s the long and short of it!”
