Today at lunchtime Arnie and Maggie were have a conversation....
Arnie said something like, "Oh you think so, how do you know that?"
Maggie responded with- "Because I'm wise!"
After we got done laughing, Arnie asked Maggie if she even knew what wise meant.
She said, "Yes, it means I make good decisions."
At which point Arnie mumbled under his breath that he'd just been put in his place by a 3 year old. I sometimes think she's too smart for her own good....but I'm usually sure she's too smart for our own good!
Just in case your wondering apparently she learned "wise" from the story of David and Goliath, she continued on to tell us that David asked God if he could be wise, Saul was a bad king and David had a baby named Solomon. She doesn't miss a beat. (technically it was Solomon who asked God if he could be wise, but it's the same story and she's 3, so we'll go with it).
Last night we were playing on the floor and the tv was on in the background, I wasn't paying any attention to what was on. Maggie stopped playing and said, "Mom, what mushroom rider?" Huh??? She kept saying the word over and over. I wasn't understand. She said, "you use it on your elbows and knees." OHHHHH, moisturizer! Apparently she'd just seen a commercial for lotion and was listening much better then I was. She proceeded to ask me when she'd be old enough to use some, and was THRILLED when I said we could probably go get some right now.

This morning we went to Donald's (Maggie's name for McDonald's, for pancakes). She
hasn't asked to go there for awhile, so I think this was Gracie's first breakfast at Donald's.
She seemed to like their pancakes as much as her big sister. |
