Now that Mikayla has seen the video about properly changing a baby's diaper, she has been practicing on her My Little Pony doll, Rainbow Sherbert.

Mikayla: "Shoo-wee. That one was like an eighty."

Me: "An eighty?"

Mikayla: "Yes. An eighty."

Me: "What are you talking about?"

Mikayla: "I just changed Rainbow Sherbert's diaper and it was like an 80 stinky."

Me: "Wow! Is that a lot of stinky?"

Mikayla: *hands on hips, head cocked, eyes narrowed, brain thinking, "Are you an idiot?"* "Yes, an 80 is a lot. That's the top. 80. Jeez. Don't you know anything?"

And you thought China was a country in Asia...

Mikayla has been asking a lot of questions about the baby lately: "How will Jace come out?" "How did Jace get in there?" "Does Jace talk?".

Well, yesterday, she wanted to know how to change a baby's diaper. Cullen and I have been teasing her that she will have to take care of all of the poopy diapers. So, when she asked that, I told her that we were just joking with her and that she won't have to worry about that for a long time. But, still she persisted. I figured the best way was to show her. Since I didn't have any diapers have any diapers here, off to YouTube we went and found this video:



**Note: This lady does not like to say poop. BUT, she LOVES to say "mess" and "messy".**
**Note #2: I thought it was hilarious that she was blowing on the baby to dry him.**

Out of the mouth of Mikayla: "That must be a boy because he has a funny looking china."

No Cheese Fo You, Boys!

Mikayla: "Only girls can have grilled cheese."

Me: "No, boys can have it, too."

Mikayla: "Then why's it called girl cheese?"

The Birds and the Bees

During my ultrasound appointment last week, Mikayla was in the room with me. It was a pretty long appointment as the tech had to take lots of measurements, but baby was bouncing around a lot. I was trying to hold very still so that she could get some decent pictures when the following occured:

"Mommy, how did the baby get in your belly?"

I'm sure my eyes got a little wide and I sneaked a peek at the tech, who was smirking, when I said, "Baby, we can talk about that later. I have to be still for the lady so she can talk some good pictures of the baby."

Mikayla just looked at me for a moment, clearly thinking about something, when she asked, "Well, can you tell me one thing?"

"Okay."

"Was it fun?"

The tech and I just busted out laughing.

Yeah, baby, it was fun! :)

Sometimes I Wonder About Her...

Mikayla has seen this commercial a few times now over the past couple of weeks and each time has begged to get this for her birthday.



I think this is hilarious! If you ask her why she wants it, she comes up with a list:

• "Because I want our brownies to stay square." Then I said, "But I don't ever make brownies." She responded with, "Well, you just put in the batter, put it in the over and put whatever you want on it."
• "The brownies Gigi made and her friends were square. They probou ably had that tray."
• "Maybe you will make brownies then."

Love her!

Journal Entry From Preschool - 11/9/09

I trick-or-treated at Daddy's work. There was candy in a toilet - not a real one. And my cats are sweet and I like to draw. I like to play in the sandbox and I went to the park. We went to Mrs. Lucretia's house. I like to pet my cats and I like to pet mouses. I saw one at the museum.
