Quotables

Skylee has been saying some pretty funny things the past little bit so I wanted to document a few before I forgot.

A few days ago Skylee was running to one end of our living room to the other. She would do it a few times then run over and have me feel her heart. She would say, "Mommy, feel my heart it's beeping." I decided it was a good teaching moment to talk about exercise. So I explained that she was exercising and that it was good for her body and helped her stay healthy. So she turned around and did it a few more times came over to me put her hand on her heart and felt it beating and said, "My heart is smiling," and then she ran off. I guess she got the concept :)

Skylee's birthday is today and we started celebrating a little early since her birthday is on a holiday. Needless to say she has been quite spoiled the last week. So yesterday at my Grandma's in Monroe I overheard her talking to my little cousin and asking him for a present. We all gathered around all my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, grandpas to eat dinner and my Grandma said, "Before we start we just wanted to take a second and sing happy birthday to someone. Is there someone here who is celebrating a birthday in the next few days?" and without missing a beat Skylee piped in, "I AM!" very matter of fact. It was funny it made everyone laugh.

Then at fireworks last night she was talking to Nana and asked her if Nana had told everyone it was Skylee's birthday and these were her birthday fireworks? Nana said she did. Skylee asked, "Well, did you yell it at everyone?" She said she did. Then Skylee said, "Well, what did they say?" Then she continued, "They will understand, it will be their birthday soon too."
Having her birthday on the 24th makes it easy to entertain and make her feel special but I am afraid it makes her feel a little too special and entitled. (Is that possible?) Yes, not too many people get fireworks on their birthday. I guess as long as we stay in Utah she will be spoiled in such a way...
