i officially cannot keep up with the amazing little conversations we have with maddalena these days! she is hilarious. way too deep. so much fun. feisty as anything. and beauuutifully imaginative. also, i feel like age 3 starts the real life stuff. like figuring out bodies and how stuff works and all that? there’s a lot to talk through within that realm! so. it’s basically amazing. although, sometimes i’m really stumped at what to say or how to explain something or when to just shut my mouth because i’m kind of an open book and then i remember that she’s 3 and less is more. but anyway!! these talks! gosh, i never want to forget the things that come straight from her own precious mind…
[just last week… oh, hooow i love her.]
[having a morning of silly little convos]
b: “i’m gonna go make some coffee”
m: “coffee… what is coffee?”
b: “okay now THAT’S a silly question!!”
m: “hehehe!! it’s like… protein!”
[after she put on a watch one day]
b: “i like your watch!”
m: “thanks! i put it on so i can go panking.”
b: “……..oh!” [not wanting to question what she’s saying]
m: “yeah… so i can go panking. wait… what’s the word??”
b: [think think think think] “…camping?”
m: “YES! camping. so i can go camping.”
[right after we brought rocco home, and she was holding him]
“OH! i forgot to teach him how to walk!!”
[cuddling with baby rocco]
“i’m happy cause i got my bover”
[holding my iphone]
“i was supposing i could click on the internet… but… i didn’t know which button i could choose.”
[pre-selfie]
“are we gonna make a selfie? are we gonna make selfies like daddy does?”
[as she was going peepee before we were going to do a craft… i walked away & came back to find her still there]
b: “oh! you’re still on there!”
m: “i goed… i goed… *sigh* i wanna tell you about it. come a little closer.”
b: “what do you wanna tell me!?”
m: “so, i wanna do a craft, and i wanna watch something, and bla bla bla and all that stuff… and then… plop! …there was my poopoo!”
[…we’re all very open with these chats in our house. haha.]
“i’m so glad i have a clock. do you have a clock?”
m: “do you know what a ceremony is?”
b: “a ceremony? i do!”
m: “what is it? is it a contest?”
b: “a ceremony… is… a special thing you do… for special things.”
m: ……… *blank stare* ……… *gives up*
[new baby ponderings as i nursed one day]
“i can’t believe we have a baby! i don’t know how he came out!! how did he come out? did he just… crack out???!!”
[picking up a pink bag of… ahem… pantyliners]
“OOOOOHHH these are pretty ones! these are pretty ones, mommy. they smell fresh and new.”
[more nursing chats!]
m: “what’s those crack called?”
b: “the crack between your boobies? it’s called cleavage.”
m: “cleavage? i don’t have a crack between my boobies.”
b: “not yet!!”
m: “haha no. cause i’m not human yet.” [she says casually with a laugh]
m: “i’m just a person. with flat boobies.”
[sitting on the porch, eating a banana quietly in thought… and then…]
“ah ha! i found it. the perfect name. we can call you… the king. and daddy the QUEEN!!!”
[when asked what her five babies names were]
“tenna… tessa… lida………. [looking to the donkey pasture for inspo] tree… one of the kids likes to climb trees… and…. mackie.” [mackie is one of our donkeys ;)]
[potty convos]
m: “there was a pe-tend beast in the toilet. and i peed on ’em. and i flushed ’em.”
b: “was there just one beast?”
m: “FIVE beasts.”
[overheard while coloring]
“sunshine bes lellow.”
[upon waking in the big bed one morning, just cracking herself up using the NY SNL terrible accent i always use.]
“i’m gonna go make my cuaaffeee!”
[musings while chatting about reasons to take off your pull-up in the morning and such]
“daniel tiger’s peepee doesn’t sting because he… has fur on it.”
[i thought she was gonna say because he stops and goes right away, per the daniel tiger potty training song lyrics. haha.]
[as we’re driving]
b: “there’s a pooping doggy!” [mom of the year, i know]
m: looks out window…
b: “did you see it?”
m: nods solemnly, “……i wish daddy could see it.”
[turning on the tv one morning and donald trump is on instead of the today show]
m: “who is that?”
b: “well, this guy’s name is donald trump and he wants to be president of our country.”
m: “ahh!!!! just like wonald weagan wants to be pesident of papa and gaga’s country!!!”
[while playing with her brother and i was saying how much i love them both]
“we love our lifes!”
[…and that’s the best ever!]
[waking up and getting cozy on the front porch after a night at the farm]
b: “i’m gonna go make my coffee real quick, okay?”
m: “okay! and don’t forget to make my coffee!”
[pulling the tiniest size rubbermaid food container out of the dishwasher]
“AWWW!! look at this one!!! it’s soooooooo cute!!!!”
also, it should definitely be noted that when she names various colors, she always includes blonde. 🙂
I LOVE YOU, MADDALENA ROSEY!!
Don't you just love this age?!!! Lol Can we just talk about how awesome Daniel is?!!!! I give him most credit for Mia being potty trained! Yesterday Mia picked up ALL the toys in our living room on her own singing "clean up, pick up, put away…. Clean up every day! " and I just melted into a puddle
