Dolly: nanny why do I always have to swallow this spit?

Dolly: oh, do you have to always swallow your spit?

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. :)

Dolly: Nanny can you get me some little tweezers so I can take these thorns out of your knee

I leaned close to her and said , those are not thorns I need to shave my legs ....................

I was giving Dolly a bath and poppy came to the door and started turning the light on and off and on and off.........

Dolly: poppy are you doing the strobe light?

Poppy: the strobe light?

I tell him that daddy does that all the time and taught her that word

Poppy left chuckling

Dolly: daddy always does that too

Me: I know he does

Dolly: Nanny do you do the strobe light?

Me: No I don't do things like that

Dolly: Only boys do stuff like that

Me: that's right they do

Dolly: and boys have yucky germs too

Me: yes they do !!

Dolly: except poppy......... he just has poppy germs

conversations with dolly

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?

Grandma: Oh no, he would run out in the road and get hurt and then I would be so sad if I didn't have my Sampson

Dolly: Well, we have three dogs you can have one of them

Grandma: I can? well who would you give grandma?

Dolly: but well, you can have stinky old Noah grandma.................

conversations with dolly

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.................
