Quick Quotes

Josie, yelling down the stairs to Louie after walking past the laundry room that houses the litter box: "Daddy, you need to change Venus' Glitter Box."
(That box is a lot of things, but it definitely isn't glitter!)

Josie to Louie & I after seeing the post on Four Austins about Lyla sleeping in her big girl bed...all night...by herself:  "Why does Lyla sleep by herself? Why doesn't she sleep with her mommy? I sleep with you."  Me: "Well Josie, most kids sleep in beds by themselves.  You're one of the only kids I know that sleeps with a mommy or daddy."  Josie: "I will sleep by myself though...when I'm older...maybe like 40."
(Oh, Heaven help us! I thought maybe I'd get a night of solid sleep sometime before then...)

Quick Quote

Last night Josie and I read "I Love You Little One" before bed, which has been one of our family favorites since she was just a baby.  In the story, different baby animals ask their mothers, "Do you love me mama?" And each mama answers "Yes, little one...I love you forever and ever and always."  Each time when we read this book, Josie always ends the story by asking "Do you love ME mama?" And then it's my job to say back what the animal mamas all say to their babies.  I didn't expect anything different last night.  But Josie decided to switch it up! Instead of the usual: "Do you love me mama? Yes, little one," She turned to me and said, "I love you Big One!"  I guess if she's "Little One," then that makes perfect sense. :)
