Paige-isms

An ambulance passes us on the way home from daycare.

P: Mommy, where is the ambulance going?

M: I don't know, they're going to help someone somewhere

P: I think it's going to help someone who got stuck. In the clouds. Because they didn't have wings.

Paige, having a conversation with her food over dinner.

P: I'm going to eat you

blueberry #1: don't eat me

blueberry #2: don't eat me either

P: But I'm hungry. And you're yummy.

blueberries: No! no! ahhhhhh

P: (gobble gobble gobble)

Like father...like daughter

Yes, that's a dead duck that Daddy shot. Sorry if that pic is a bit much to handle...but look at the sheer joy in her face at petting a duck! (No, I don't think she fully comprehended it being dead.)

Dentist visit

Last week Paige had her first Dentist appointment. I tried to play it up, she was excited to go get her teeth counted and loves getting "pretty teeth" (ie brushing her teeth).

Well, she sat on my lap on the big chair. They let her pick out a Thomas the Train sticker. Gave her a new Pooh toothbrush, kid's toothpaste, and floss, all in a special zip up plastic pouch.

Then in walks the dentist and she won't open her mouth. They looked in mommy's mouth, counted mommy's teeth, and she saw how easy it was. But she wasn't falling for it. She wouldn't even say a word, because that would require opening her mouth.

We leave, climb in the car, and she won't shut up. So excited about her new teeth brushing supplies. Has to take her pouch into the dollar store, and insists on brushing and flossing while sitting in the cart. Thanks, kiddo.
