Caroline

Caroline is a surprisingly funny girl. She is not funny like her big brother who is turning into the class clown and will literally do or say anything to get a laugh. Caroline is funny in her own way. Usually just by making observations, but the way that she says them can make you chuckle. It's probably why I don't write as much about her because some of the stories about Liam when he was her age were so unusual that I couldn't forget them. Remember when Liam started undressing in the library? Or the infamous pooping on the lawn at my grandmother's house? Unforgettable.

But I have managed to remember a few funnies to share about Caroline.

The other day I took Butters outside to brush her and Caroline wanted to come with me. Many have been annoyed by just touching Butters and having a handful of hair in a matter of seconds so it's not very shocking when we brush her it usually looks like a rabbit got ran over by a lawn mower when we are finished. So, anyway during this brushing Caroline was fairly close and the dog hair kept flying onto her pants. Her response, "Seriously????"

Caroline also loves to talk. She also does not like to fall asleep at night. This results in conversations about anything that she remembers throughout the day or sees in her room. Mostly run on sentences and most of what she says makes no sense but her goal is met. Keeping you in her room and keeping herself awake.

Caroline loves to ask you if she can do something and when you tell her no, she will just ask again. And again. And again. With almost an exact imitation of Lil' John the musician. "What????" "Huh???" "Say it louder!" Possibly hoping that our answer will change but unfortunately for her it never does.

We were playing with her little dollhouse today and I was pretending to be the Mama Bear and Caroline was the baby bunny.
M: "Come eat your eggs. I made eggs for dinner."
C:  "I don't like eggs......I like cookie dough."

After lunch:
M: "Caroline, would you like dessert? You could have a cookie."
C: "No, I can't. Daddy ate them all!"
(a very real observation that is almost always true)

M:"Caroline, please help me pick up your toys."
C: "I'm too busy"

Today during lunch:
C: "I sucked my fingers at nap. yesterday. These two."
This is a habit we are having been trying to break for the last week. She has been so good at keeping them out of her mouth but the way she said this statement it was almost like she was in confession. She looked so guilty.
