Phone Number

When I had her memorize our home phone number, I didn't know that at 4 years old she'd be writing it down, passing it out, and setting up playdates on her own.

Feels Good

She was just sitting on the floor, pretending to paint her nails, when she said,
"Ah... It's good to be Olivia."

I laughed and thought, "Well, at least I know she's happy."

In and Out

"Dad, did you know that when you drink, you have to pee, and when you eat, you have to poop?"
"Uh huh."
"I eat A LOT."
"Yeah you do."

Super Olivia

"I'm Super Woman! Can you put my cape on for me, Daddy?"
"If you're Super Woman, shouldn't you be able to tie your own cape?"
"I'm going to save the world!"
"You can't save the world if you can't put on your own cape."
(Rolls her eyes.)

Boys, Boys, Boys

"Liv, why are you always talking about boys, and having boyfriends? Why do you need all those boyfriends?"
"I have to have a lot of boyfriends, so that I can pick the right one to marry me?"
"Wow. That.... actually makes a lot of sense."

Life Lessons in Sports

(A pair of 4 year olds are arguing at 8:45am)
Christian: I want the cash register! It's my turn!
Olivia: It's mine! I had it first!
Me: If y'all can't play together, then you can come in the living room and watch sports with me.
Christian: Hey, how about we SHARE?!
Olivia: Yeah! That's a good idea!

Is there anything we can't learn from sports?

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

"Dad, one day we should go to another baseball game."
"Oh, you liked the baseball game?"
"Yes!"
"What did you like about it?"
"All the snacks!"
"That sounds about right."
"And Daddy, if you give me the money, I'll pay for it."
"(lol) That sounds like a good deal."
