Claire (processing Mommy's sad look about her growing up): Well...you can call me "Little Bear" if you want to!
Claire: I'm just demanding about when my leg hurt.
Erin: Did you say "demanding?"
Claire: I did say "demanding." Because my leg hurts.
I'm a girl who went to bed and got up and got a cake and made a hat.
Green and violet and purple are my best favorite colors.
Erin: I like your little curl.
Claire: It's kind of like a tornado.
Aw...Lily's so beautiful!
Daddy! I was snuggle buddy-ing you! announced angrily after discovering that Brad was sitting with Lily following Claire's disappearance from the room
Claire: Daddy, are you and Lily being silly?
Daddy: NEVER!
Claire: YES NEVER!
That is breaking my heart into a million pieces.
Erin: Daddy is a rock star!
Claire: He's the WINNER! But he's the pretend winner. Because you and I won.
Backstory: We had been playing Chutes and Ladders that night. I had won, and Claire had declared herself second place. Brad had had a run of bad luck with the chutes. Simultaneously, Brad had been working on re-lighting our pilot light, and after our game had discovered that the hot water was back. That's when I said he was a rock star and Claire set me straight.
After singing "Humpty Dumpty"
That's sad. He had a rough week.
Chog = Chug (character on Pixar's Planes)
Dusty is so sweet, but not that green mean plane that says, "Aw, my sky-pad, man." That's just rude. commentary on Planes characters
Claire: What do you think? (wearing a bag on her head)
Erin: You're silly.
Claire: Me? Noooooo.
Claire: Do Anna and Elsa have panties?
Erin: Uh...Yes?
Claire: So do I!
Erin: Could you please stay little?
Claire: No, I have to grow up because I want to get married and eat cake.
Lily is my best friend.
Hot dog sauce = ketchup
I like the beauty of the snow. It's kind of sweet.
Erin: Why do you have a bad attitude?
Claire: Because sometime PEOPLE JUST DO!!
Erin: What do you want me to sing?
Claire: Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
Erin: Something besides a Christmas song.
Claire: But Mommy, it was already Christmas this morning! (it had snowed)
Erin: Did you finish all of your lunch?
Claire: I did! Except for my barbecue, of course, because sometimes I like it, and sometimes I don't.
Let's play stick! (fetch)
Lily's just a dragon-muffin. (ragamuffin. I love this one so much and will probably always call Lily this. Bless her.)
Yogurt is like medicine for red booties. The only explanation I can up with for this one is that yogurt is a similar consistency as diaper rash cream.
overheard through the monitor:
Lily, today is St. Patrick's Day, and we wear green. It's not Hosanna today. That's Lamb of God Day.
I'm going to try the new potty again. Is the hole big enough for poop? We've been replacing our toilets with water-efficient ones. Apparently, Claire was a little apprehensive about their trustworthiness. PSA: all potty parts are standard in this house. Never fear.
Ugh. Hiccup trucks. She was trying to quote from Planes: Fire and Rescue where a girl car dismisses a flirting truck with the line "Ugh. Pick-up trucks."
The chair let me go. When she slipped off of a slick chair.
I'm eating my food the correctly way.
Lily, no! Ristracted floor space! Areas that Lily doesn't need to crawl into have been dubbed "restricted floor space" by Brad.
...and that's why we have Resurrection Eggs: to remind Him to get down off the cross.
Why don't you think about that clothes pin? Said to me after she did something commendable and wanted me to move her clothes pin up on her behavior chart.
Erin: I love that outfit on you. Can you wear it every day?
Claire: Um, it'll be too small if I grow.
I'm coming to sit next to you since you don't have a friend. But you get a crown. To me. And she did put a crown on my head.
Princesses don't need pants. When I handed her leggings to put on under her dress.
I'm glad we have friends. And we love God and Jesus and we don't have to be afraid of things.
Genevieve is the saver for everyone that falls in the water. The dog from Madeline.
But I need something to put over my face so I can sleep!
Backstory: We had a very bad behavior day, and her clothes pin moved all the way to the bottom of her chart where the consequence was to lose her bedtime things (stuffed animals). She has one lovie that she ALWAYS puts over her face to sleep, a la eye covers. She was actually panicky about losing her "eye cover." We gave her a wash cloth as a substitute. She wasn't happy about it, but she put it over her face. And, her behavior was impeccable the next day.
