Ladies and Gents, we have entered the "Kids Say the Darndest Things" era with Miss Olivia. Just the other day she looked at me pensively as I was changing another one of Sammy's poopy diapers and said:
"Oh, so you can be the mommy and I can be the grandma," I offered.
"No," she said firmly. "You'll be the babysitter."
Then we were in the park on Friday and she was looking into the clouds. She said, "I see Elena's dog up there. He's in heaven."
Trying to be helpful or turn this conversation into a teaching moment or whatever, I said, "Elena's dog was really old and now he's up in the sky and he's happy."
"No he's not," she said. "He's dead."
Okaaaaayyyyyyy.
Speaking of death, she also drew this picture of Simba from the Lion King crying because his dad, Mufasa (that is the one with the big mane) is dead:
Chris and I are amazed at her drawings and keep pretty much everything. I especially like the way she draws tears. Everyone cries, including the sun. Even on a sunny day.
In other news, Olivia is also very into mermaids right now. Here she is with her tiny Ariel doll who may, or may not have slipped Sammy a sleeping pill.
4.8 is super fantastic.
