Kids Say the Darndest Things, Part Two

While in a department store, Grace suddenly climbs in the middle of a clothing rack. I call for her and call for her and she remains quiet. After a minute or two, she comes to my side, looks up and says, "No more poops." Needless, to say, we found a bathroom shortly thereafter to change her!

Later that same afternoon, I was baking Patrick a cake for his birthday. Grace was in the kitchen with me. She opened a tall cabinet we have and appeared to look for a snack. Next thing I know, Grace is inside the cupboard.

Shana: Gracie, come out of there.

Grace: --

Shana: Grace come on out. Close the cupboard door.

Grace: --

Shana: Grace, are you making poops?

Grace (peeking out of the cupboard and pointing emphatically): No!! Go, Mama! Cook!

Needless to say we made a trip to the changing table again.

Grace and I went to the mall. While there, Grace picked out a pink bear. Since it was on sale, I bought it. When we got home, I put on some music (Grace LOVES music)...but instead of Gracie dancing, she had the bear "dance" and said in a singsong voice: "Go, Bear! Go, Bear! Dance, Bear!"

Grace has a play phone that plays music and rings. When no one has played with the toy, it will occasionally ring out on its own. One evening, as we were getting ready to read stories before getting Grace to bed, Grace was mid-climb up the couch when her toy phone rang. She stopped, climbed down, rushed to her phone and "answered" it: "Hello? Okay. Bye!" Then returned to climbing up the couch for her nightly story time!
