Heard from the Girls

Heather, while camping: "Let's have a conversation.  What's your favorite food, drink, and, ummmmm, dinosaur? No wait, just dinosaur."

Heather, while showering after camping:
"Ummm, Mom?  Dad?  Anybody out there except Corinne?!"
[Corinne's interest is piqued and heads for the bathroom.]
"I need a washcloth!"
[Corinne wanders in, grabs a washcloth off the sink and tosses it into the tub.]
"Thanks Corinne."
[Corinne wanders back to the TV Show she was watching.]

Corinne is confident in her identity if not her language skills:
"What's your name?" -- "I Kin!" [She's missing 'r's]
"Are you a monkey?" -- "No! I Kin!"
"Are you tired?" -- "No! I Kin!"
"Are you my little girl?" -- [Throws hands up in the air] "No! I big gul"
"You're not a little baby?" -- "No! I big!"
"You're my big girl?" -- "Uh huh"

These two are goofballs.

Heather on Wheels

We gave Heather a pedal bike on her birthday last year, but she still needed to improve her balance before she'd be able to pedal.  So I took the pedals off so she could focus on balancing (she had outgrown her balance bike).  Last weekend she was ready to level up and add the pedals back.  She really improved her balancing ability and lifting her feet to the pedals went off without a hitch.  She is greatly pleased with this new skill and enjoys riding laps around the neighborhood at every opportunity now.
