Evelynnisms

I'm always struck with how profound Evelynn can be at times. She will be four in April, but I'm continually amazed at her exactness and vocabulary. She is a very well thought out little person. She thinks in steps and can form a plan to go from A to B successfully with the end she intentioned, and her plans generally work. She is very descriptive, although I don't always grasp what she means right away. Hearing her speak is precious. Here are a few examples from the last week or so:


1) The sun is in my eyes, Mama. I need my sunglasses because it is too brilliant.


2) The light's turned on outside. It's morning!


3) Good morning. How are you this morning? Did you have a good nap? She asks everyone this every morning.


4) I want to eat chicken, and cereal with milk, and macaroni & cheese, and peanut butter and jelly and warm chocolate milk because I'm cold... and I want to eat it all myself and that would be excellent.


5) Do you want a "spinning light" in your room, Mama? A spinning light is a ceiling fan.


6)But I HAVE to have my wand AND my crown... I'm a princess.


7) Thank you, oh, thank you so much. I just love it! I could give her just a Kleenex to get this response. She is a verbally thankful child, which we love.


8) Mama, I built a rocket for you and it's PERFECT!


9) Do you want to play a game? I want to watch you play the one with the fire or the one with the alligators. Now you have to love any child that wants to watch you play the Wii, specifically Mario and Lego Indiana Jones.


10) Mama, let's go get my bicycle on the porch. That would be awesome.


11) Oh, it's getting dark outside soon.


12) Oh, the snow is BOOTIFUL. I love it. I need my snow boots and snow coat and my gloves because it's cold outside. Does that sound like fun?
