Famous Quotes
My Naomers is growing up and I don't want to let go of two. I love the dirt-stained knees on her pants, her mounds of blankets warming her sleeping baby-dolls and her careful, cautious little fingers painting a rainbow-colored tiger with watercolors. But I still have time....there are 24 hours until tomorrow!

"Mommy, can we watch that movie? Ya know, Charlie and the Chair Fairy?" Mommy says, "Which one is that?" She replies, "You know! The one with all the pretty things and the boys and girls...." Gramma translated through the phone, remembering Naomi's newest favorite, "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory!"
"Please pass the Branch!!" ~Naomi asking for Ranch Dressing at dinnertime

And one from Sydni: When we were making those awesome Fiber One Blueberry Muffins, from the box recipe, Syd was helping out and as we dumped the mix into the bowl she exclaimed, "YES! I love the fake ones!" I guess she was not too fond of the made-from-scratch blueberry muffins I did last time! I love her honesty and realness, I think we all need some of that!

When I Grow Up
Naomi ~nearly 3~ and her conversations with Mommy about when she grows up:
Naomi: When I am a cat, I will be black, with mean eyes like this (her eyebrows narrowing) and I will have sharp teeth and I will bite you!
Mommy: What do you mean "when you are a cat"? People grow into bigger people, not cats!
Naomi: But I'm going to be a cat like Molly when I grow up!
Mommy: Well, I hope you won't be a mean cat. I'm not going to be mean to you, so will you still bite me?
Naomi: When I am a cat, I will bite you!
(Mommy figures that must be just what you have to do when you're a cat.)
...later that day...
Naomi: I am growing bigger, bigger, bigger. When I'm a dinosaur, I will have sharp teeth like this (pulling down her gums to show her sharp teeth)....and mean eyes like this (narrowing her eyebrows and glaring) and I'll ROOOOAARR (her claws in the attack position)!
Mommy: Ahh! That's scary!....But I thought you were going to be a cat?!
Naomi: (pausing and puzzling over how to do both...and deciding most certainly) I'm going to be a dinosaur.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...
Nope, it's just Olivia crawling at the speed of lightning!
Watch out Barbie shoes, speaker wires and little crumbs everywhere....she's on the move!
Boy she caught on to that quick! She really just took off this week and now can cross the room in the turn of a head!
The Bubble & The Ant
Naomi was waiting patiently for her turn to speak at the dinner table the other night as each of her sisters took turns telling their "stories" of their day. She must have been mentally taking note of the most affective way to get the most attention from her audience as each of the girls spoke because when it came to her turn to talk, she told this story with her eyes wide and her arms outstretched dramatically, "There was this big bubble... and inside the bubble there was an ant. The bubble went up, up, up, up, up and into my mouth . Then the bubble popped! And the ant held onto my tongue and I said 'ANT GET OUT OF MY MOUTH!!' And he did ."
