Funnies and Facts Dec 2013



- Lucy:  "I stared at Santa all night to see if he was going to do magic and wiggle his nose and disappear because I didn't want anyone to joke on me."

- Abby:  "Mommy, sorry I ate your turkey."  (She only eats meat, and that was her way of confessing)

- Lucy:  "Abby's brave.  I'm not brave at all."

Monkey monkey

She giggles when you put on her shoes. She double-giggles when you put on her shoes and socks. She belly laughs when you wrap her up in the monkey towel, and she squawks when you try to take it off.

Funnies & Facts: Oct 2013

October 17, 2013
Lucy: [sobbing] Abby coughed on my cookie, and now I can't eat it.

Eraina: [tired]  It's ok, you can eat it.

Lucy: [sobbing] But it has bad germs on it.

Eraina: It's ok, you can just eat it.

Lucy: But it has germs on it, and you said I'll get sick.

Eraina: [the germs and hand-washing lessons are kinda hurting me right now.]  Here, let me see your cookie.  [And then I blew on it.]  There, I blew the germs off.

Lucy: MA-MMMY!  Are they off?

Eraina: I think so.  It's ok. [We don't have any more frosted sugar cookies.  That's the last one.  And Abby is sitting happily at the table eating hers.]

Lucy: Did all the germs blow off?  Is it true??

Eraina: Ummmmm

Lucy:  [still sobbing]  Is it true??  Are they off?

Eraina: .... I don't know...?

Lucy:  No, is it really, really true?!  Or do you just think it's true in your head?

Eraina: You mean like, "is it a fact" or "is it an opinion?"

[And then I explained the definitions of fact and opinion, and she said we should've traded cookies with Abby right away, and I apologized for not thinking of that and told her that that was a good idea and that her cookie probably still had bad germs on it.  And she - as she's always been - calmed with the truth of the rational discussion, and then we found cookie dough in the freezer.]

Bryan loves this story.  And I'm proud of Lucy.  And I do think there's absolute truth, so I'm glad she intuitively realizes it at an early age.
