Funny Maylee in Winter 2013

Funny things Maylee said in January...

1. I replaced the liquid hand soap by the bathroom sink and Maylee noticed the change.  While trying it out for the first time, she said, "Mmmmm.  Smells like green eggs and ham!"  It really was a citrus soap from Bath and Body Works that has a slight mint green color to it.  So weeks later, she still calls this soap the green eggs and ham soap.

On the way home from errands, Kaleah started to cry because she was hungry.  Maylee reached over from her car seat to help settle Kaleah down with a pacifier.  It worked until Kaleah spit it out.  Maylee says, "I smell something stinky!  Mom, maybe she has a BIG poop this long (holds up her hands about eight inches apart)!"

As you can tell from this picture, someone thought it was a good idea to use a marker as chap stick.  I had to turn around and compose myself before trying to have a "serious talk" about how markers are not chap stick.

Maylee and Kaleah’s babysitter, Carol, shared a hilarious story with us…

Maylee (age 3) was playing with Ty (age 4) and put a baby doll up her shirt.  Then she asked Carol to help her put a dress on.  (Carol has lots of dress up clothes.) Carol told her the dress probably wouldn’t fit over the baby doll under her shirt.  She was insistent on wearing the dress and said, “Ty and I need to get married.”  Ty got dressed up in the Luigi costume, including the hat.  When they were all dressed, the ceremony was a quick hug and then they were married.  They immediately undressed out of their wedding clothes, then Ty told Maylee, “Now, I’m the doctor. Lay down so I can get the babies out.”  Ty pulled the baby doll out of Maylee’s shirt, then Maylee inserted another baby doll under her shirt, and Ty repeated until they had five or six babies.  Together, they proceeded to change diapers, feed the babies, and put the babies to sleep in the beds they made out of blankets lined up on the floor.  Carol said it was funny to listen to them and watch their imaginations.  I asked Lisa why her son knocked up my daughter before they were married, and she replied saying at least they got married and Ty is quick about fixing his mistakes.  We got a good laugh from this story!
