On her second snow day…
Neil: It’s a blizzard.
Isla: I don’t see a lizard. It’s snow, Daddy.
On love…
Isla: I love you, Mumma. Don’t ever change.
Me: *just over here on the floor*
On snacks…
Isla was picking through a bag of gum-drops after lunch. ‘Hmm. I think Nana ate all the good ones.’
On her mother’s artistic abilities…
Me: It’s a butterfly.
Isla: It’s a heart with a line in it.
Me: Well, you and me went to different schools.
On what she thinks of her Dad’s office…
Me: Dad’s door is closed.
Isla: It’s always closed. Can we drill it open?
On the other office…
Me: If you’re not out of there in five minutes, your butt’s gonna fall down the toilet.
Isla: OK!
On being my favorite kid…
Isla: Daddy, Mummy needs coffee…

The wisdom of the wee ones.
awww I like ‘on love..’ Happy Sunday.
I have to agree with Isla! I see a heart with a line in it! But still it’s better than I could do! 🙂
I love that you’ve written down some of these wonderful declarations! Looking back, I wish we had done that more with our girls.
