1st

Apparently Amie had another baby last night, this one while she was asleep. A girl that she named Elephant (fortunately, it was an elephant toy she was carrying at the time).

She knows where they go.

Amie found my necklace with an amethyst pendant on, and has insisted on wearing it. She knows that she has the same name as the stone, and will ask where the 'Nise stone is :)

Being a walrus.

As soon as Amie saw I'd painted my nails, she wanted it done. So we've just done her finger and toe nails dark purple. She then asked if I could dye her eyebrows and eyelashes too. I had to tell her not yet, she has to be older.

Pretty pretty nails!

Gotta wonder about a child who says "Good job, mummy!" after you blow a truckload of snot out of your nose. :)

I think this is a conversation that's been happening between parent and child since we lived in caves.

Me: What a messy house! Who made this mess?
Amie: Me!
Me: Who's going to clean it up?
Amie: You!

So nice of her to volunteer me!

She also uses her adorable cuteness to win me over to her way of thinking at times.

Amie asked to wash up, so I said she could if she picked up her toys. Rewarding helping with the housework...by letting her do more housework? Works for me!

4th 

Amie just asked if we could get a cheetah.

I was just playing with Amie, and after giving her a playful tap on the butt, she said "hey! you're going to make me ink!" 

Can you guess who's been watching Finding Nemo?
