A Mommy Daughter Conversation

My eldest Little Woman began speaking at an early age. She has always had a gift for language, and has enjoyed sharing her opinions from infancy.  At eleven months old when we would put her down for the night she would often stand in her crib and scream over and over "I'm just a baby." As she makes the transition into childhood she is constantly amazing us with her large vocabulary and random comments and opinions.  How I savor the words that come out of my daughters mouth!  It is like a box of chocolates, I never know what I am going to get. . . Hence, a mommy daughter conversation.

Time: Early November

Me: Is mommy fat or skinny? (No emphasis either way, just wondering what she will say.)
Little Woman: Oh yes mommy, your fat!
Me: Does Aunt Courtney look fat?
Little Woman: No mommy, that's silly.
Me: Does my tooshie look fat?
Little Woman: Yep.

Time: The Other Day

Me: (Getting out of bed in the early morning hours)
Little Woman: (Standing at the foot of my bed) Mom. . . 
Me: Yes?
Little Woman: Your tooshie is looking like it is not so fat.
Me: So, my toosh isn't fat anymore.
Little Woman: Nope, it's not so fat anymore. 

"Out of the mouth of babes!"
