she said what?!

 **she was rubbing her chin and said, "i need to go to the chin doctor."


**"it's a great night for salmon!"


** "exotic" (i'm going to assume she got this from dora or diego describing a plant or animal...and not some other context!)


**she pushed up a chapstick almost the whole way.
i said, "stop! don't keep pushing it up!" 
and she said, "i woooon't. take it easy. don't be worried."

**"mom, did you hear my burp sound?" (it was actually a toot.)
"yes."
"why didn't you say anything?"
"it's more polite to be quiet."
"but it just comes out."
"yeah."
"so how can you keep it quiet?"
"when you get older you'll learn how to control it."
"like when i'm four?"

** she says she "wishes" a lot. "i wish i could have candy for breakfast." "i wish i could be in that book." "i wish i had that."

**i had my backpack on and natalie asked me, "are you bringing your backpack?"
me: "yes."
nat: "okay, yes, you may bring it."
ha! thanks for the permission, honey!

**i was putting on her hoodie and she wanted to zip it up. she said, "you just put it together and i'll zip it. i'm serious. serious. i'll do it. serious."

**me: "do you want a pony or a bow?"
nat: "no pony. no bow. none of those ingredients in my hair."


**"let me just try it on for size."

**i was singing "tomorrow" from annie and natalie said, "don't sing that song ever again."
me: "why?"
nat: "because i don't want to be 'a day away.' i want to be with my family. so don't sing that again. ever ever again. okay?"
i think she must think she is tomorrow?? because i say, "i love ya, tomorrow...."

**nat: "may you please braid my hair?" pause..."actually i'd like two braids please."
even though we were running late, i told her i would because she asked sooo politely.
when i was done she looked in the mirror and said,
"two braids! one for each side! so they can be friends with each other!"
