Relationships

Katie: Where's Karl's daddy?

Betsy: He went home.

Katie. Oh. Ah, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?

Betsy: Well, I have Daddy.

Katie: He's not your boyfriend. He's just a friend.

Sportsmanship

Katie picked out a Busy Town board game from Zach's closet, wanting to play with me in the living room. In her haste, she dropped the game down the stairs.

Katie, running down the stairs after the game: Hey, Mom, I let the game go first.

Nicknames

Katie doesn't like it when Charlie pretends to tickle people:

DAD! Mister-on-the-radio-Billy-Bob! STOP tickling Mommy!

(Not) Sleepy

At bedtime (actually, well past bedtime):

My stomach hurts. My eyes do not want to sleep. But my nose is already sleeping. My stomach is punching me....can I have water?


...Mommy, guess what! It's over now! My stomach is sleeping!
