Mommy: Lily, that baby doll doesn't have a name. What is her name?
Lily: Baby Jesus



Seeing a rather large woman wearing a bright red shirt....
Lily: ELMO!!!

While at the Providence Children's Museum... "I'm driving a car like Mario!"
Yes, our 2 year old plays Mario Kart on the Wii.

Growing up so fast

After eating 2 slices of pizza for dinner, Lily puffs out her large belly and says "Baby Aidan in tummy. When's he coming out?"


Lily falls and hurts her knee.
Mommy: can I kiss it all better?
Lily (stops crying): Mommy, that doesn't work.


So now, not only does my child know kisses can't fix owies, but she thinks she's pregnant. She is growing up too fast!

From the Mouth of a 2 Year Old

I was very tempted to start a twitter account called "FromTheMouthOfA2YrOld", but none of my family subscribe to twitter so instead I will be treating my blog like a twitter stream posting random conversations and quotes that could only come from the mouth of a very talkative 2 year old.


Lily: what's that?
Daddy: jerky
Lily: gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble
Daddy: no, not turkey, beef jerky


In the car on the way home from dinner, Lily is ordering Daddy, Auntie Hope, and myself to sing "Happy Birthday louder to baby Jesus!" (her favorite song, who we sing it to changes each time) so I start singing in spanish to vary things up (hey, I have sung this song more times in the past 2 months than the entire previous 28 years combined). Lily stops and thinks then asks us to sing happy birthday to baby "Hey-suess" this time.
