conversations with dolly

Dolly and Madison were swimming in her little pool yesterday. Dolly somehow discovered to hold her breathe and put her whole face under the water and move around on her belly "swimming". Madison started doing it too. Their hair was splayed all around their heads as they were doing this, and I praised them for their bravery.

Me: Oh Dolly I have to get my camera to video this wonderful new trick! Be good for one minute while I go in the house and get the camera.

I couldn't find the camera anywhere, it must be in the truck which Scot took today.

Me: Dolly I can't find the camera, I am sorry I can't video you guys.

Dolly: (with attitude) Nanny, well just use your phone camera!

How does a three year old get so smart about technology?

sometimes it just happens

You know sometimes stuff just happens. Like just the other day I went to mom's house to help her out. They had their house insulated and it was super dusty and furniture was pushed every where and it was a little bit like moving day inside the house. So Dolly and I went to help rescue them. And there they were looking tired, dusty, and sweaty. Grandpa had his wet rag in hand and grandma had the vacumn ready to suck up more dust. So after I figure out where I needed to start and where they had ended I was ready to get busy. I happen to start at the dinning room window which is where they left off at. I grabbed the vacumn cleaner and was ready to start sucking dust with the attachment when 'IT' happened. It just escaped and I couldn't stop it! Mom is saying let me come help you and I said no no just stay there I got it. But she didn't head my warning and she walked right into the cloud of it. As she wrinkled up her nose and looked at me I smiled sheepishly and said I tried to warn you. What did you eat, oh my gosh Sheila ! Hey sometimes it just happens. I am still laughing about it to this day. It was a funny inncodent and yes, I am human just like all of you reading this. You know that it has happened to you before. Maybe you just got away with it. Well, that time I didn't. And it was the peppers and oninos I had the day before. :)
