Natalie Ann

Some recent Natalie-isms :

While drawing in her notepad:

N: Look, Mommy! I wrote a whole page in cursive!
Me: That's great, sweetie. What did you write?
N: How am I supposed to know? I can't read cursive!


While writing her name on KidsDoodle:

Me: Remember, your teacher wants you to use lower case letters when you write your name. Not all caps.

N: Well, that's because that's what the Kindergarten teachers expect. So, I'll do it that way when I get to Kindergarten. It's just not necessary now.


While "working" at her new desk:

Me: What are you working on?
N: Taxes. Ugh.
(hmmm...guess what Mommy has been working on lately?...with a smile on my face, obviously.)


While we were driving in the car:

Me: Natalie?
N: I'm not Natalie, I'm a rose princess.
Me: Okay, rose princess, can I talk to you about something for Natalie?
N: Sure!
Me: Natalie has a nut allergy and the doctor said she should wear a special bracelet every day so that other adults would know in case she forgets to tell them. If I were to order Natalie a special bracelet, do you think she would wear it....?
N: Okay, okay, Mommy, just talk to Natalie now. I'm now Natalie, not the rose princess. Can the bracelet be pink? Can I wear it today?

Gotta love this kid!  And do we ever!
