Among the typical stalling methods of probing questions at bedtime, Ali asked, “Is Daddy going to wear HIS princess nightgown to bed??”
When we were at the beach with Kitty and Leo, Ali saw the cranes landing in the water. She squealed and said, "Look Mommy!! The birds are turning into ducks!!!"
We were headed home for what Ali knew would be bedtime, so she decided to try a new stalling tactic.
Ali: "We need to go to the store before we go home."
Me: "Why?"
Ali: "To buy some things."
Me: "What things?"
Ali: "You know, some...stuff."
Me: "What kind of stuff?"
Ali: "Some stuff to eat."
Me: "What stuff to eat?"
Ali: "Just stuff."
I gave her some sunglasses to put on, and she told me, "Those sunglasses don't really look right with my pigtails."
Chris almost missed his turn the other day, so he did one of those slam-on-the-brakes-and-take-a-sharp-turn things. I said, "Whoa!!!", but Ali reassured me and said, "It's okay - Daddy just slipped."
The next day when we got in the car, Ali said, "Be sure to go slow, okay Daddy? So you don't slip again."
After I got her dressed the other day, she told me, "I am the one with the brand new shoes on, and you are the one without."
We had a long discussion about Jail and what it was the other day, thanks to a bible story about Paul and Silas in jail. I explained that it was kind of like long time out for adults when they do very bad things. She said, "So you go to jail sometimes, right Mommy?"

Hahaha, maybe Chris can come visit you in jail in his princess pajamas. :)
That's hilarious that she said her sunglasses didn't match her pigtails!
Sunglasses, shoes, dresses, night gowns---is she a girl? I do hope I am there when Chris wears his princess pajamas.
