Conversations with Charlie

We were driving out Sheridan Lake road and saw a bunch of cows on the side of the road last week.

Charlie : Look! Buffaffo!!

Me: No, those are Cows Charlie.

Charlie: NO! BUFFAFFO!

Me: No, Charlie, those are cows.

Charlie : NO!!!! BUFFAFFO!!! Leave it alone, mom.

Geesh!!

Charlie loves to role play. She love to be a puppy, or the baby, or a doctor, ect. Today it went like this...

Charlie: You be the sweetie and I be the mommy.

Me: Ok, why am I the sweetie and you the mommy?

Charlie: Because I grow really big.

Me: Oh, what are you going to do now that you are really big?

Charlie: You sit in the my seat and I will sit in your seat, because I big and I sit in a big seat. (she has something against her carseat lately)

Me: You are a big girl, but you are not big enought to not sit in your car seat. You have to be as tall as Cadeance before you can sit in a big seat.

She is quiet for a little bit.

Charlie: I be right back...ok?

Me: What are you going to do?

Charlie: I just be right back ok?

I am wondering what she is up to but I let her go out of pure curiosity. She comes back with a tape measure, pulls it out across her belly.

Charlie: See!! I big. I sit in your seat!

I yell at Charlie for being naughty.

Charlie: I not being naughty....I just a Turkey.

We are in the bathroom at Milestone. Charlie goes potty first, then I I go. Of course there is a line in the bathroom. Charlie yells at the top of her voice "YEAH!! Mommy you went potty! You are such a big girl! You didn't pee in your panties! Good Job!" I am just smiling nodding at her, trying to make her be quiet. "Mommy, you need a sticker! Mommy don't touch the potty! You are such a big girl!"
