A few sweet-girl-isms

Just because I haven't posted any of the wonderfully funny (and sometimes astute) things my daughter has been saying lately...

"Mommy, I'm putting the clo on the bed." (Spoken while she placed one of her teddy bear's shirts on her bed. "Clo" is her unique singular form of the word "clothes.")

"We can't really walk on water like Jesus can. Unless it's frozen. We can walk on ice."

"I'm trying to make myself 6!" (Said while standing on tip-toe and holding her arms up in a ballerina pose over her head. She's just discovered that she has to be six to officially be able to attend the sports camp run by our church. She turns 5 next week.)

"One quarter of ten is two and a half." (Casually mentioned during dinner a few weeks ago. Aftering affirming that was true, her astounded Daddy and I changed raised eyebrow looks and then conferred to find out if either of us had given the little math whiz that information. Neither of us had!)

"When will I get to be one thousand?" she asked me earlier today. "People don't live that long," I replied. "Well, I'll get to be a thousand in heaven!" she rejoined. (Amen! And it may only seem like a day...)

Very nice! :D And that's pretty impressive that she's already figuring out fractions...

Hee! She says the funniest things sometimes. And yes, her math skills keep throwing me for a loop! ;-)

I love "clo." It reminds me of when my kids both used to say "amn't"...like, "I amn't going to do that." Turns out it actually used to be a commonly used contraction.

How cute.
