Corinneisms

Our 3 yr. old daughter says some of the craziest things. Like.....
"Mommy my leg is all skinny. The peanut butter toast made my leg skinny"
"My tummy is making me upset" "My tummy is making me nervous"
When she had a fever, "There are lady bugs in my head"
After a spat with her older brother, "Mommy, Jamie ruined my life"
A week later, after getting after her for something she did, "You ruined my life too Mommy"

The day after I told her I wouldn't play with her dolls because she wasn't being nice, she says "I'm nice, you can play with my dolls now."

When helping her get dressed, my daughter said "my ear is itching, me: it is? her: yeah they're making something in there. me: oh, they're making something? her: yeah, Jideeps. Me: Jideeps? what are Jideeps? her: they're makin hammer and breches" (not sure what that is supposed to be). No lacking of imagination with this kid.

Also she has picked up the phrases, Good Grief and Goodness Gracious. And, a granola bar is a roller bar.

Hmm...I am drawing a blank, more to come later I guess. Feel free to share if you know of any to add.

Update

Jim has officially graduated from GMU! Hooray!
Papers have been sent in to the state, and soon they should be granting him his official EIT (Engineer in training) status. As a graduation gift his boss purchased him a company truck to drive that is exclusively his. That was a very big surprise and took a big weight off our shoulders since we did not know how we were going to replace our aging Civic.
For our final phase of celebrating graduation, and our 7 yr. wedding anniversary, Jim and I will be sending the kids to grandma's while we spend a few days visiting our nation's capitol. Shear Madness at the Kennedy Center, Smithsonian, and maybe the Spy Museum are all on the list of activities for our weekend escape/celebration.
