Money

I was explaining to Ashlyn how the "Tooth Fairy" works.

M - When you lose your baby teeth, you get to put them under your pillow, go to sleep, and then wake up to find money in their place! Isn't that cool?
A - Can I see your teeth, Momma?
M - Sure, Ashlyn. (I smile big so she can look)
A - (pointing at my teeth) Do those things still make you money?

Sinner

Our plane had just landed in ATL, and I had repeatedly told Ashlyn DURING the flight to keep her seat belt on until the lit-up sign said otherwise.

A - Can I take it off now?
M - No, honey. Look at the sign. Is it still lit up?
A - Yeah.
M - Then you can't take it off.
A - But why?
M - Because you would be disobeying the rules. What is that called when we disobey?
A - Sin.

We ended up sitting on the plane for another 45 min! Addelyn Kate woke up and needed a diaper change. I had to UNBUCKLE to reach the diaper bag. Mind you, the "don't unbuckle" sign was still lit up!

Ashlyn looks at my buckle, then up at me with a disgusted face.

A - Sinner!

That was all she said :)

LAZY!

Ashlyn had finished in the bathroom and needed to get t/p.

(My hands are full with Addelyn Kate)
A - I'm all done Momma. Can you get me the toilet paper?
M - Ashlyn you can get it. Mommy's hands are tied up.
A - Oh well, I guess I just can't have any.
M - What do you mean? Just reach down and get some.
A - I can't Momma...I'm just that lazy.

Uncle Brad

(Uncle Brad is Ashlyn's great uncle and he doesn't have hair on his head)

Granna had just finished cleaning Ashlyn up for the night and was combing her hair.

Granna - I could just snatch that pretty hair off of your head and put it on mine!

A - Well then I would look like Uncle Brad!

Babysitter

While preparing for our trip to CA, Ashlyn questioned who would take care of Daddy since he was not going with us. I told her he would go to eat dinner at Popa and Nana's a few times, but that he would take care of himself.

(Leaving the house to go to the airport)

A - OK, mommy, I think I'm all ready for the plane.
M - Good. Make sure you have your backpack.
A - I've got it. Now, all we have to do is make one stop at Nana's and then we can go to the airport.
M - Nana's? Why do we need to stop at Nana's first?
A - W Mommy, we have to drop Daddy off there before we can leave.

I guess she thought I meant that Nana was "babysitting" for us. :)

Frustration

Ashlyn has been away from the house A LOT this past week because Aunt Emily has been in town. She finished off the fourth of July by spending the night at Popa and Nana's with Emily. She finally came home today!

M - Ashlyn! I have missed you sooo much! I am so glad you are home!
A - Well...I'm really not happy about being back. I wasn't ready to come home.
M - Didn't you miss me?
A - Yeah...I did miss you Momma.
M - So why aren't you glad to be back? Don't you like your home?
A - I do like it, but it's just so frustrating to be back.
M - Frustrating? What do you mean?
A - Well you know...Addelyn Kate cries, I have to help, it's just a lot for me to deal with.
