The odor is strong with this one

Rachel came downstairs wearing a Darth Vader helmet and smelling like she needed a diaper change. "Rachel, are you stinky?" I asked.
"No, I not stinky. I a stormtrooper," she answered, as if the two are mutually exclusive.

Big brother's advice

Elisa is often talking about getting married when she grows up. The other day I overheard Benjamin encouraging her:

"When you grow up, you can marry someone funny, like Mom did with Dad. Dad always makes us laugh."

Yes, I agree. His sense of humor is one of the first things that attracted me to him.

The Hilarious Twos

I heard laughing behind me in the car. So I glance back and see Makayla laughing because Rachel is licking her foot.

"Rachel! Stop licking Makayla's foot! I don't care if she likes it, stop licking her foot. Now put her foot down. Dooowwn. Good."

Rachel talking to the "zeba."

"Daddy, this doesn't scare you."
"No, it doesn't. It's a banana."
"Yes, this is a banana, not a monster."

Rachel was hiding in the bushes and growling.

"Mommy, I found my hand."
"Was it at the end of your arm?"
"Yes!"
