A Castle for the Princess

The Naked Truth

Queen Mommy — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:26:52 +0000

Often times, Lidia likes to shower with me. I don’t mind because this is time that I get to spend with just her–no boys to step on her attention. We have great conversations in the shower (and plus it is much easier to wash all that hair of hers).

This morning, she joined me in the shower and we were talking about this and that. Suddenly she points to me and the following conversation happens:

L: What is those, mom?

M: You know what that is.

L: Breasts!

M: Yes, those are breasts.

L: I don’t have breasts.

M: Yes you do, they are just small. They will get bigger when you get older.

L: Yes. But your breasts aren’t up, they’re down.

M: Yes…You are right about that.

No, Not the Good Dishes…

King Daddy informed me of this conversation that began with him and ended with me.

L: I have a boo-tay, Daddy.

D: Yes, you have a butt. Everyone has a butt.

L: And I have a china. But not the boys.

L (to Mommy): Mom, we have a china?

M: China? As in the dishes?

L: No…

D: No, as in the body part

M: OHhhhh!! Yes, we have vaginas. All girls do.

Daddy Has Big Power

Queen Mommy — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:25:28 +0000

L: Mommy, when I was a baby, you picked me up like the boys?

M: Yes, I picked you up a lot! But when the boys are 4 years old, like you, I probably won’t be able to pick them up much, either.

L: But Daddy can pick me up.

M: Yes, Daddy is a lot stronger than I am.

L: Yes, you only have a little power . Daddy has BIG Power . I don’t have any.

Melting Mommy’s Heart

Queen Mommy — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:38:32 +0000

Lidia, as she cleaned up her play dough mess today, was heard to sing the following song

“I love you, my sweety-pie Mommy

Sweety Pie, Sweety Pie

Sweeeeeeeeeeeee-teeeeeeeee Piiiiiiiiiie”

Our Family, the Fruit Bowl

Queen Mommy — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 17:54:02 +0000

L: What’s your name, Mama?

M: Anna Chicquita Banana

[This is something I joke with her about often]

L: Nooooo, you’re Crystal Chicquita Banana! What’s my name Mama?

M: Hmm, what is your name?

L: It’s Brapes
[Lidia speak for grapes]

The boys is oranges and Daddy… Hmmmmm
[she makes a scrunched up, thinking face]
Daddy is Grapefruit.

There you have it, our family as a fruit bowl…

A Whale or a Microscopic Green Sea Creature?

Queen Mommy — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:23:40 +0000

The Princess recently drew this little masterpiece on her easel’s chalk board. In the center you can see quite clearly the drawing that she labeled as a whale when showing us.

While King Daddy and I can sort of see the whale there… We really cannot help but see the resemblance to a certain microscopic green sea creature we have seen before…

What do you think?

Mini Me

Queen Mommy — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:09:35 +0000

As the Mommy, I really try to avoid swearing in front of the kids. I am really not much of a swearing person anyhow, but when I am in pain, my brain starts sending things to my mouth that might make a sailor blush. Usually I can intercept if the kids are around. Today I got my proof that I’m doing a good job substituting when Lidia stubbed her toe and promptly yelled out,
“OW CHI WA WA!!!”

*Snicker*

She is her mother’s daughter…

Have Truer Words Been Spoken?

Queen Mommy — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 13:28:50 +0000

Today, Lidia was heard to say,

“I’m a big kid now, just like my Dad!”

Ovens

Queen Mommy — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 16:29:23 +0000

As the Princess and King Daddy made cookies today, they were carefully putting a new batch in the oven. From her viewing spot a few feet back, Princess peered into the oven and announced, “It smells dangerous in there!”

Trying It on for Size

Queen Mommy — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 03:19:14 +0000

Lids has been trying on a couple new phrases lately:

“You not be kidding me, Mom” [I believe this is an attempt at “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

and
“Mom, you crackin’ me up.”

Gee, I wonder where she gets these things…
