Thoughts on Flying

Lorelai sees a plane flying in the night sky.

L: "Is that a plane?"
M: "Yep."
L: "Or maybe a helicopter."
M: "Maybe."
L: "Helicopters fly...like superheroes...and unicorns."

Lorelai and the Mountains

Driving into the hill country of New Mexico.

Lorelai: "Woah! Look at that big mountain...and that huge poop! Maybe a big huge dog did it."

Me and Chris: "Lorelai, those are bushes."

Chapstick Thief

I keep my chapstick by my bedside table. Not on the bedside table, because little children like to walk up and play with it; so I place it up on my windowsill where I thought it was safe from tiny hands. I noticed it was missing this afternoon. I looked all around the area. It didn't fall, it was completely gone. I then remembered waking up to Lorelai by my bed as she was messing with something. She walked off casually and I thought "ok, she didn't see that I was awake...5 more minutes." and I went back to sleep...but now, I am thinking that something that she was messing with was my chapstick.

Me: "Lorelai, did you take my chapstick this morning?"

LEL: "No." *quickly looks away*

Me: "Lorelai, did you take it?"

LEL: "Um.........I think so."

Me: "Where did you put it?"

LEL: "Um...I don't know...maybe...under my pillow?"

Sure enough, there it was.

Naming the Dogs

Lorelai has 3 little dog toys. Mostly beanie babies. A dachshund, a dalmatian, and a mut-like brown and white dog.

Holds up the dachshund.
L: This is Zuma.

Holds up the dalmatian.
L: This is Marshall.

Holds up the brown and white dog.
L: This is Honky-Donkey.


...Um...what?

What Lorelai Loves

Snuggling after dinner tonight-

Lorelai: "Mom, I love you."

Me: "Aw, I love you too."

Lorelai: "I love Paw Patrol."

Me: "Ah, well, at least I beat out Paw Patrol."

Lorelai: "...and strawberries."

Chris Feet

I was talking to my mom about the differences between Lorelai and Adalaide.

Me: "I remember looking down at Lorelai when she was born and thought 'Oh, she has Chris' feet!'"

Lorelai: "Hey. I don't have Chris feet. I have Lorelai feet!"

Me: "Yes, you do, but they look like Daddy's feet."

Lorelai: "Stop. Stop that right now."

So much Lorelai in such a small package.

Quick Quotes

A couple of my favorite one-liners from Lorelai lately:

"No, I'm just a kid."

"You love this game."

"It's too much!"

"Chicken, and fries, and ketchup."

"Talk to me!"

"Sugar beans."

"Why? Why? Why?"

"It's a great day."

"Hey...you're not grandma."

"Good morning America!"
