what does your mommy do for you?

At preschool on Tuesday, each child's answer to this question was written down on a big whiteboard. It said:

Sadie - "She brings me pizza to take to Sophie Lantzy's house."

So, it really is the little things that count. Happy early Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

on a walk

Sadie: "I want to see the goose."
Mommy: "OK, but we can't get too close---he might not be friendly."
Sadie: "I not friendly."
Mommy: "Whaaaat? Of course you are sweetie, you're friendly!"
Sadie: "NO. I not friendly! I'm Sadie."

do NOT pick your nose

"Hmmmmm......I wonder if they'll notice THIS....?"

Has it really almost been a month since Sadie's 2nd birthday? I haven't even written thank-you notes yet! Now I finally understand what people are talking about when they say, 'look out---they grow up so fast!'

Per the birthday girl's request, fire engines:


Making carrot cupcakes (well, the cream cheese frosting) for school:


Digging in to the strawberry dip:


Party dress!

Feliz cumpleanos! (birthday dinner with family):


What a BIG girl compared to last year!


Two may have its terrible moments, but you're 99.9% sweetness, baby girl! Happy birthday!!

dinnertime conversation

Sadie (eating raviolis): "What's that?"
Mommy (putting baked tofu on her plate): "Teriyaki tofu."
Sadie: "I don't want yaki foo."
Mommy: "Try it, you'll like it."
Sadie (considers it for a few minutes): "That hurts my feelings."
Mommy (incredulously, from kitchen): "EXCUUUUSE me?"
Sadie: "That really hurts my feelings, Mommy."

Does it get any sweeter than this?

bathtime conversation

Sadie: "I'm dreaming."
Mommy: "What are you dreaming of?"

Mommy: "You're dreaming of a hot dog?"
Sadie: "Yes."
Mommy: "Okay, time to get out of the bath."
Sadie: "NO MOMMY!!!!! I'M DREAMING OF A HOT DOG!!!!!"
