It begins.

[amand_r]

Her: Last night I dreamed, no no, I WISHED, for a pink horsey. And I could RIDE it.
Me: I couldn't be prouder if you'd got your period or passed all your OWLS.
Her: So yeah, we could get one.
Me:...they don't make pink horses.


ALSO:

Her: (looking at the new parking lot) They built a road!
Me: Well, now that the strip mall is done, they need somewhere for people to park their cars.
Her:How did they do that?
Me: Well, they know how. you could learn how to build roads and parking lots, too.
Her:Oh yeah!
Me: Yeah, when you get older if you want to, you could be a construction worker like Bob the Builder.
Her: Hrm, okay. But I don't like the hats.
Me: Well, it's important to wear the hat so you're safe.
Her:No. I'll just wear bunny ears.

ALSO

Mum: So we met [some old friends from our church] at the grocery store, and they were admiring Viola, and I said something about how she looks like Tianyu, and Viola blurted out, "Mama put Daddy's body in the woods!"
Me: That's my girl.

I need a Vstroyer icon. Just saying. This kid needs celebrating.

I am such a silly--can't wait to start hearing about Aoife's adventures. (I sincerely love typing that baby's name).

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I just added a third story to this post. it's my favorite!

And yeah, we need Aoife adventures!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL!! In the woods! Omg I am at barnes and noble and started to laugh and a lady reading a magazine looked up at me. LOLOL!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I can see how she thinks that. There were trees blocking the view of the cemetery when we drove past. Now she thinks I just dumped him in the woods.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I love it.

(and I envy you having LJ to chronicle your kid--I wish I'd had that when my kids were little!!!!)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was gonna do it by hand, but that got old really fast.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I have one huge long printout I kept from the time Tiff was born to about two months old and then stopped. Gave it to her when she was sixteen. ;)

Did not do the same for my son! Thankfully he is okay with that. LOL.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything, and I'm okay with it. This is mostly for our amusement.

[kickair8p.livejournal.com]

::snorfl!:: Like the clear distinction between where Daddy is and where Daddy's body is. I take it you haven't taken her to see the grave yet? Hope you've shown her pictures of him, otherwise she's gonna think he looks like that Transformers icon you put on it!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Oh she knows him by sight, and she's been to the grave. It's just that kids don't really get death. It's a strange concept.

[aster-laevis.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think my kids get it (…maybe not the 2yo); they just don't fight it like grownups do. They're used to being powerless. And, of course, they are much better than we at living in the present moment.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

Vstroyer is a brilliant little human, isn't she!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. Apparently, she just told her BFF that she was going to hit her in the face with a yo-yo, so, sometimes not.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

Well, I think we all have our off moments.

[cyprinella]

Some red roan horses can look awfully pink. /not helping.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAHAH I DUNNO WHERE SHE GETS THIS. This week she went to a farm/animal place, and she didn't want a pony ride.

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

It wasn't pink, duh.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Probably! Why didn't I think of that?

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

VSTROYER: equestrienne, bodysnatcher, fashion icon.

CONQUEROR OF THE KNOWN GALAXY.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD ALL BEWARE.

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

Well, thank fuck we have you as an early warning system.

OTOH, it's probably a good thing she's off the Homeland Security radar. Just sayin'.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haaahahah it's only a matter of time. Then again, she IS very small.

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

You know I adore your little snippets of Viola wisdom.
I wish I had paid attention more when mine were her age..I do remember stuff, but there has to be more...

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It's a lot easier now, when you have computer access.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

This child is awesome, like you. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you!

[kickair8p.livejournal.com]

"...they don't make pink horses."

Pity she can't google yet!



::grin, duck, run-like-hell!::

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

ahahaah that made me actually truefax LOL when I scrolled down.

[desdemona59.livejournal.com]

I want to be as awesome as Vstroyer when I grow up

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I need me some bunny ears!

[desdemona59.livejournal.com]

like knit ones? I can knit you bunny ears

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

You put Daddy's body in the woods. Oh, Mylanta. I love her so, so much!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

She makes me lol.

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

Actually, to be completely accurate, she said 'forest', not 'woods'. I think 'forest' is a notch up on the word list. She also said this with a deadpan, sincere delivery that was heart-stopping.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Forest gives it a mythical feel.

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

Oh man, she makes my c-section scar hurt from laughter :)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Aw, don't bust something!

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

Steve is terrible at making me laugh unexpectedly. It's good though, laughter is keeping us afloat.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Be on the look out tomorrow for cookies! Gingersnaps!
