Funny kid comments

Grace and Sophia can be frustrating but they are hilarious!  This week I found out that Sophia can talk like a robot. My attempts to take a video of this have been disappointing but I'll keep trying so that I can share it.

Grace also started a story a few days ago with, "Mommy, do you remember, way back in the day..." I think that by the time she's 5 she'll be reminiscing about when she had to walk uphill both ways to school, in 5 feet of snow!

After Grace had been out riding her bike today, she came inside and said, "Mom, I just came in for a quick milk break!"

Trying to focus on the cute...

Holy Cuteness!

Okay, so Grace has always been "spirited" and really, I thought that after her, Sophia would have to be a piece of cake.  Right?  WRONG!  Sophia is even more independent and strong-willed than Grace!  How is this possible!  I keep reminding myself that these are wonderful traits for girls to have.  I'm praying that these will be very positive for them in the future, like resisting peer pressure. {Deep breath}

Lately, Sophia has been really trying.  Sometimes, when we give her a direction she puts her hands on her hips and says, "No, I won't."  Yikes!  She's not even two, yet!

These last couple of days, Grace, too, has been a challenge.  In order to get over that stuff, I'm going to share a few cute things that Grace has said:

• "That's actually appropriate.  You can say that, if you want to.  If it's inappropriate  you don't say it because that would be rude!"  (Keep in mind, all of this is with a "w" sound for r's)
• "Why do I have such a small amount of milk in my cup?"

The girls like to "play at the beach"  (curve on our road where sand accumulates)

A funny "bit" that the girls have going lately is that Grace will go in to use the restroom.  She'll conveniently forget to get some "paper toilet" and call for Phia.  Phia comes running, "I coming, Gacie!"  Phia hands Grace the toilet paper and Grace replies, "Thank you so much, Sophia.  You're a big helper!"
