Ella: "There is no 'n' in the alphabet song."
Me: "Yes there is.  All the letters are in the alphabet song.  L-M-N-O-P."
Ella: "Oh...I thought it was M-Linno-P." 


Maya, reaching her hand to my face, me flinching and pulling away, "Don't worry Momma.  I'm going to touch your face nicely. I am not going to poke your eye out."


Maya: "My hair is not available right now" when I try to brush it.

I suppose who can blame her. 



Ella:  "Momma, I have an idea!  Maya and I will save ALL our money in our piggybanks and then we can go back to Disney...someday.  I have a lot of money in my piggy bank.  I have BILLS.  And other EXPENSIVE money."

Maya: "I read Mochy a book.  I even showed her the pictures.  But I don't think she was listening."



Leaving after our first trip to Schoodic this year, Ella said:  "I love Schoodic all over again."

Maya's pants fall down constantly.  Even at 3 1/2 her 3T pants won't stay up.  The other day she was running and holding the waistband of her jeans, muttering:  "I'm getting really tired of this."

When Maya wants to be stern with us she uses our middle names.  Except she uses hers.  "Ella Annabel!"  or "Momma Annabel!" she yells to us.

Sandi told Maya that if she wanted Ella to stop tickling her she needed to just say "uncle." So through hiccups of laughter Maya yelled to her sister, "Uncle, stop it uncle! Stop it! Do you hear me, Uncle?!"
