This is a picture of Miss Roo excitedly perched on top of the box containing the cotton candy machine we got for her birthday. I'm pretty sure she was just planning to live there until the party.
Playing in the bathtub: Roo: Mommy, be a mermaid too! Me: But if I'm a mermaid who will be the mommy? Roo: It's ok. One of us can be the mommy mermaid and one of us can be the baby. (pause) (very thoughtfully)That's how life changes, you know.
On the potty Roo: Mom? Me: What? Roo: How come the poop always goes with pee? Me: Excuse me? Roo: They're like sidekicks! (I'm laughing) Roo: What's a sidekick?
After dropping my phone and detaching the case she apologetically fixes it. Roo: It has an ah-touch-ment, Mom. And I touched it Translation- It has an attachment and I attached it!
To distract her while brushing her hair I asked her to spell her name Roo: R-I-L... Me: E Roo: (Whispering) It has a quiet e, but it's there. Me: Ok then what? Roo: (suspicious I wasn't listening) Um, it has a quiet e! I told you. Me: No, I meant Y Roo: Um, that's how you say Y in french Me: A quiet e? Roo: Yes!
On the way in the door of school on the first day Riley was greeted by several friendly folks, but was uncharacteristically non-responsive to their greetings. When I asked her why she was so quiet she said: I have...a lot right now, Mom. And I'm...um..not...open right now. I clarified that she was thinking about things and didn't want to talk what a nut!
On a school day in the morning in the car: Roo:Hand me my back pack as soon as I'm buckled. Me:Ok Roo:It's just very important that I hold it. Me: Ok, here (handing it to her) Roo: Now shut the door! Me: Ok (starting to wonder...) (As soon as I sit behind the wheel) Roo:Don't turn around mom That's when I knew she was up to something. She was trying to sneak Snow White into school with her! Silly girl.
This morning after two pieces of cinnamon raisin french toast, two pieces of turkey bacon, orange juice and a bite of my eggs. Roo:Can I have a piece of your bacon? Me:You had your own bacon already Roo:Mom! I can't find evil on an empty stomach How could I say no to that?
