She Keeps Us Smiling

The littlest one in our clan is quite a character.

Here are some recent quotes:

Me: Lulu I love your cowboy boots! They look so cute!

Lulu: They not cowBOY boots, they cowGIRL boots. I am a girl not a boy cause I don't have peanuts. :)

She likes to know the "plan" for the day so I will tell her kinda the schedule.

Me: We have to run to Publix and the post office. After that we can get some lunch and then we can draw pictures together.

Lulu: I like that......10 minutes later... Mommy what's the deal? I forgot it.

When playing Barbies with her recently (all her playmates were at school) I had 2 Barbies and I had them singing and dancing. She gave me quite the look 

Lulu: No! Just play normally. Don't do that. I know, let's pretend we don't have that dancing. It is in another city, ok? Let's pretend that. 

When picking her up from school, I always ask about her day

Me: So did you go out on the playground today?

Lulu: Yes

Me: Well who did you play with today?

Lulu: My friends

Me: What are some of your friends names

Lulu: I don't know that is too hard.

Me: Did you do some art today?

Lulu: yes

Me: What did you make?

Lulu: I just want to stop this talking now.

She inserts thumb in mouth, rests her head on her carseat, and closes her eyes.

Lulu: UGH! Xin is soooo annoying? Accompanied by eye-rolling

Me: Why is Xin annoying?

Lulu: Cause Mei Mei (Jaida) says he is.

Recently she has started crying and saying she doesn't want to go to school.

Me: Lulu, why don't you want to go to school?

Lulu: Cause I just want to stay home and play with Mei Mei.

Me: But sweetheart Mei Mei is at school too.

Lulu: I just want to stay home and play with you.

Me: (Trying to sound as if it is not going to be much fun at home) Well, Mommy has to run some boring errands and then go to a boring meeting so I won't be home either.

Lulu: Well I just miss SOMEBODY!

Again with the school situation

Me: Lulu it is ok to be sad and to miss home but you can't scream when you get to school.(the screaming is quite loud and dramatic)

Lulu: I can't help it! It just comes right out of my mouth!

Oh dear sweet, spunky Lulu. We adore you and all your antics! So glad you are our daughter and sister!
