Arden has a couple of cold sore on her lip and her tongue. The poor kid keeps telling us that we are giving her “chili”. How does she know what chili tastes like when she has never had it herself?

On our way home from school this evening, Arden was inhaling a box of raisins. I told her that she must share with her brother…she said “Right hand gives you”.

During the same ride home, anZel was mesmerized by the stories on the radio. When Arden offered him with one raisin, he said “No, thank you. I had one at school. I will go home and have dinner.” If only I could store this in a bottle.

anZel: Where does tree come from?

A few days later…
anZel: Do trees have mum and dad?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arden brought over her snack container and begged me to open it in the morning…because I didn’t want her to have corn chips for breakfast, I pretended I couldn’t open it.

Arden: Open
mum: I can’t open it.
Arden turned around and look at the draw where we put knives and said: Knife
mum: Knife is for cutting.
Arden sat down on the floor and tried to open the container by herself and said “Try open”
Good luck, girlfriend!

We have read Run Away Bunny since anZel was a wee baby. Lately, he is able to grasp the idea of what the story was all about. We have been playing the game of what if mum was a bird, what would you be in order to be with me, or vice versa.

mum: What if I were an elephant, what would you be?
anZel: I would be a baby elephant.
mum: What if I were an orange, what would you be?

anZel: a tangerine Posted in Transcripts, anZel, for dA record | No Comments »

anZel was playing his mega block type toy this morning while I was changing him…there were squares and circles shaped blocks.

anZel: Here is a circle.
mum: That’s right. Are there square ones?
He picked up a square one and showed it to me.
mum: Are there rectangle ones? (knowing full well that there wouldn’t be one…)
anZel picked up two square ones together and gave them to me.

On our way to meet with the Wus on Saturday, anZel kept asking when we would get to the park.
mum: We are almost there.
anZel: When we arrived at the park, should my whole body come out?

~~~~~~~~~~~
Arden cried for a long time during her morning nap. This is anZel’s explanation.
anZel: Maybe she saw the step-mother in the dark.

anZel: Why is it raining?
mum: I wonder why…
anZel: I think it’s because the grass are thirsty.

~~~~~~~~
Before heading out to dinner on Monday…anZel said “Mum, remember I will always love you.”

~~~~~~~~
It can be tough getting anZel in a coat and be ready to go in the morning. On Tuesday, I was particularly frustrated because I was running late. anZel: Mum, I want you to be happy.

anZel has turned into Mum lately. Whenever he sees me cutting fruits, he will always say “Mummy, be careful when you cut, ok?”

After dinner, dAd and anZel headed upstairs the other day. He said “Daddy, 我連滾帶爬上來了”

~~~~~~~~
When Arden saw dAd was still sleeping a couple mornings ago, she put her index finger in her mouth and said “shhhh”.

#1
When riding in the car, anZel would ask me to look at what he was doing. I often told him that I would love to if I had eyes at the back of my head. Yesterday, anZel said “mum, why don’t we have eyes in the back of our heads?”

#2
We drive by a pasture on our way to school every day. Yesterday, the cows were long ways from the freeway.
mum: anZel, Look…you can see the cows today.
anZel: Why are they so far away from the freeway?
mum: Ummm (trying to come up with an intelligent answer and being mighty proud of a quick answer), because they are afraid of getting hit by the cars.
anZel: (without missing a beat) But there is the fence right there.
mum: Ummm…(feeling like an idiot) you are right.
