Who's the Best?

"I found a shirt. It says 'Daddy's the Best!' You want to wear it? No, it's mine!"
(The onesie actually says "My Mommy is the Best!" : )

Pre-Sibling Rivalry

Sophia: I need a baby brother, Dada.
Me: I thought she wanted a sister?
Laura: I told her that her shoes are too small, so I have to put them away if she has a baby sister some day. And if she has a baby brother, I'll sell her shoes.

(So she'd rather have a baby brother, than share her shoes with a sister?!...Hmmm.)

The Most Beautiful Thing in the World

Sophia climbs into bed and coos, "I wuv you. I miss you, Dada."

Thank You, Bobby McFerrin

Laura and I go back and forth over who should change Sophia's fully loaded diaper.
We finally agree to change her together (after we catch her).
You'll never guess what Sophia says to us while on the changing table:
"Don't worry, be happy! Heehee!"
(Easy for you to say, Poopy Pants....)

Watch Your Step

My almost two year old daughter walks up to me and says, "Poo, poo."
Indeed, she is extra stinky, 
But there's no diaper in sight!... : p

Taxation without Representation

I gave Sophia a cookie today.
Then I asked her if I could have a bite.
She said, "No."
"Just a little bite?"
"No."
I used logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to persuade her.
"No, no, no!"
For a moment I even considered issuing an executive mandate, but I didn't...

In the end, I feigned disinterest in her cookie, and she eventually set it down.
Soooo, I exercised a little taxation without representation.

Oh, yes, I did : P

"Hello, honey!"

It's a cold and rainy day.
There's forecast of snow in May.
But I'm feeling sweet and sunny
'Cause my baby girl awakes
And reaches up to me and says,
"Hello, honey!"
