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?

Se had a yard sale on Saturday and Dolly and Grandma were sitting in the drive-way chatting.

Dolly: grandma can Sampson come out of the yard and play with me?

Last evening I went outside to clean up my truck and get the car seat, Scot and I are switching vehicles today. When I came back in the house they (Scot and Dolly) were in the bathroom.

Me: what's going on in here?

Dolly: I did a big poop and poppy is wiping my butt

Me: that's a good girl dolly!

Just a few minutes later she comes running to me

Dolly: nanny I think I have a little bit of poop in my underwear, just a little bit, are you still happy with me?

Me: well let's go see, maybe poppy didn't wipe it good enough

He didn't

Me: that poppy needs a little more practice

Dolly: maybe when poppy grows up to be an old lady like you he can do it better.................
