The Rules

Parents must be careful when we start "creating" rules. Last night I was talking with my mom (also known as Lola) and as it normally happens, we get louder and louder and started talking on top of each other.
With in seconds Mikayla pipes up...

MAC: Shush guys! You can only talk one person at a time and if you don't start talking quietly I will put you in time out. Do you understand me?

Really, are you three?? I guess I have my work cut out for me and must be careful when instituting the rules....

I ate it!

So Mikayla has taken to moving the cushions on the love seat. It transforms into her "play ground" with a few pushes and shoves. First time she did this we found three crayons and two markers and a hair clip. The second time I thought we were free and clear of any more landmines. On the third time I realized my mistake...

Me: What are you eating?
MAC: Candy
Me: Where did you get it from?
MAC: The couch
Me: Oh Mikayla, we can't eat candy from the couch (bleah)
MAC: Why not?
Me: Because it's old, honey and mommy just doesn't want you to eat old yucky candy
MAC: Well it's all gone. I ate 3 pieces and they were yummy!

Not to self...check couch cushions on a more regular basis...

Mikayla-oke

So Mikayla loves to sing...much like her mommy. It also appears that she likes to make up the words to songs...much like her mommy.

One day she watched a particular princess movie over and over again. To the point of knowing when the princess is going to sigh, when the swan "squaks", and most of the songs. One song in particular...flash forward to Thursday. On our way to school, as we are loading into the truck, she starts singing...
MAC: Home is where the nart is, the nart is, the nart is. Home is where the nart is, when your nart is there your home!
Mommy, what's a nart?

Me: Honey, I think the word is heart.

MAC: Are you sure?

Me: I'm pretty sure...

MAC: OH! Home is where the heart is, the heart is...

Dot Com

So MAC has taken to adding a "dot com" to everything. For example, she sees a commercial about potty training (we've been diaper free for almost a year) and she says "go to potty.com to find out more"...more what, I have no idea. She will also talk to her stuffed animals like she's the teacher and says "kids, get a parent or an adult to help you log on to (insert website...pbskids.com, disney.com, nick jr.com) and you can play games and do art projects." Geez... She will also throw out a random "color.com", "drive.com", and "shop.com".

I remember being three (ok, just little) and thinking how cool markers were and now my three year old has been on a computer since she was one and a half!!!

I don't get it...

So apparently I have two blogs... as a newbie I created my first blog and instead of adding to it I started a another one. Anyone know how to delete one of these?? I hope I can figure it out...

On another note, short stuff is figuring out her left from her right.

MAC: Mommy, this is the hand I color with and it's my left hand!

Mommy, are you turning right?

Mommy, Taco Bueno is on the left!

*sigh*

Pablos...

So I picked Mikayla up from the zoo (she had gone with her Grandmother and a few cousins). As we were getting in the truck I told her we had to go pay Pablo...
MAC - Which Pablo?
Me - What do you mean?
MAC- Painter Pablo or Mechanic Pablo? Am I missing one?

Alas she was not missing one...and we went to pay Painter Pablo!
