From the mouths of babes…

As Chloe is developing more and more abstract thinking, she has some very interesting observations on the world around her. I have been posting these up on Facebook, but I was starting to feel a little guilty. Not all of my readers are on Facebook…
So, anyway, here we are…
After Daddy told her that it was okay for her to sleep more even after the sun got up, she said: “The sun is too heavy to get, and I don’t have bird wings.”

Chloe thinks the makeup compact that came with her Barbie Doll is a ‘puter.’ Hmm…I wonder what that says about me?

Mommy: “Chloe, what’s your doll’s name?” Chloe: “Her name is Him. She’s a boy.” (Hmmm…gender confusion or pronoun confusion?)

Scene: Sitting at dinner with Chloe and John, John is teasing me. Chloe: “Daddy, you leave mommy awone!” John: “Are you defending mommy’s honor, Chloe” Chloe: “Mommy’s not his daughter! She’s a HUMAN!” John and I look at each other, than burst out laughing.

Had a long conversation/argument with Chloe that ended with her shouting at me from the top of her lungs: “DADDY IS NOT A HUMAN, HE’S A BOY!” She’s a little young to be this jaded, I think.

Daddy: “Chloe, are you a ninja?” Chloe: “Yes! I am a ninja!” Mommy: “Do you know what a ninja is?” Chloe: “It’s in my foot!”

Scene: Chloe runs into the kitchen holding a plastic bee going, “bzzz, bzzz.” Seth: “Don’t do that Doey!” Chloe: “I still love you, Sef.” Seth: “I still love you, too, Doey.” My heart: Melted!
