May 18, 2003- The Great Escape Attempt- I was 9 months pregnant with #1 Son. It had been a long day. Baby Girl wanted to go out and play, but I didn't have the energy to chase her so I said no. She was not happy with me and went into her room to pout.
It was a beautiful day and I had all the windows and doors open. When I went into the kitchen to fix us some Ice cream, I found Baby Girl naked, trying to escape. Since the screen door was locked she pulled the gasket out, raised up a corner of the screen and had one leg out the window.
When I asked what she was doing, she said, "I just hava' go out and play." (She was almost 2 at the time) I told her she couldn't go out alone and she answered, "I a big girl, Mama. I go outside by myself. You not hava' come."
June 11, 2004- The Spiritual Singing Stripper- As was the norm, Baby Girl was running around in the buff. When she decided to get dressed the only things she put on were purple, sparkly, plastic heels, her orange feather boa, and a purple feather trimmed tiara.
As I described her fashion attempts to my mom, Baby Girl began singing Amazing Grace. I told Mamma my daughter was becoming a spiritual singing stripper. At least she has goals.
Memorial weekend 2004- My parents gave me Pirates of the Caribbean for my birthday. A few days later Daddy asked if I'd had a chance to watch it. Only three times!
I was telling him that Baby Girl liked the movie when she pranced into the room. "Tell Pa about Captain Jack, Baby Girl." Now, I expected her to say he was a pirate (her only observation to this point). "Captain Jack Sparrow," she says. "Tell Pa what Captain Jack is, Baby Girl." She turns to her grandfather and says, "HOT!"
October 25, 2004- Adventures in Baby Sitting- B.B (who was an infant) was enjoying his tummy time. #1 Son was happily watching his brother. I was cooking dinner. Husband took Baby Girl to the bathroom.
When he came out he yelled, "Can't you see him?" No, I was in the kitchen. #1 Son was trying to ride B.B. like a horse. He started neighing. Husband said, "No, Brother is a baby, not a horse!" #1 Son shook his head, "Nuh-Uh. Neigh, neigh!"
Dec. 14, 2004- Baby Girl asked if she could put "magic chickens" in her hair to make it shiny.
Jan. 16, 2005- Baby Girl screamed at me, "God lives in my heart,and I want a banana, and God loves me, and that's what God says!" I didn't realize prophesy included preschoolers' snack choices.
March 21, 2005- #1 Son found out B.B. had to go to the doctor. "Me go doctor." "Why do you want to go to the doctor?" "Eat McDonalds!"
Feb. 2005- Baby Girl announces she's going to take over the world.

Gosh, these are precious! They'll love reading them when they get older.
Eliza,5, has loved to hear stories about herself ever since she was big enough to know to ask for them. She's the one waiting for me at the top of the stairs with her scrapbook when I come over to her house.
The boys aren't as into it, but I know they'll like them someday.
My favorite is "God lives in my heart, and I want a banana and God loves me, and that's what God says!"
It made perfect sense to her.
Giggle. Giggle. Giggle. How awesome that you remember thse things in such detail. Thank you.
