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.

Snowflakes

I handed Lorelai her tiny heart box of chocolates this Valentine's day.

L: "Oh, thank you!"

M: "Do you know what's inside?"

L: "Snowflakes!"

...somehow chocolate seemed like a letdown after that response.

You're My Sweetheart

Lorelai's current favorite song: "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers.

She goes around singing "I long you, you long meeee, you my seeeeatheaaaaart!"
(I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart.)

Out of tune, and in great volume.
She also calls it "the daddy song" for some reason.

All cute.

Real Names

Lorelai is learning that her parents and grandparents have actual names. Not everybody calls us "mom" and "dad."

She knows my name is Megan, though she has only used it once. Chris on the other hand is her new favorite thing to call dad.

After being unable to locate her dad in the house, she walked up to me and asked casually, "Mom? Where's Chris?"

So funny...to me. ;)
