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!"

You Beans

Lorelai was goofing around with me, Adalaide, her Grandma, her Uncles Zachary and Jacob, and her Aunt Hannah. She was showing off and being pretty silly. During this crazy show she had a declaration.

(To me) L: You queen.

M: Oh, thank you!

L: I'm the princess.

(She turns to everyone else in the room and points at them.)

L: You beans!

...ok...wait, what? "Bean(s)" is her new favorite thing to call someone when being silly. For some reason, I find this hilarious.
