Wet leaves

Dada: The leaf pile looks pretty wet. Sofia: I wouldn't refuse to jump in it.

Lucia logic

It's scary out here. It is? Yeah because of my brain. Your brain? Because my brain is making invisible monsters out. I'm going to run ahead and you can scare them away.

Lucia joke

I asked Lucia to tell me a joke this morning. She said, "knock knock." Who's there? "Your ear." "My ear who?" "Your ear full of ice cream. "

Blake reconfigured

The other day we were walking to school and Lucia said, "When I say bye girl, bye girl, you say burning bread. Ready?"

That sounded familiar. Then I remembered about a year ago (she would've been 2) singing Blake's "Tyger Tyger burning bright" to her before bedtime. The form had stayed in her memory, but she made the content her own.

"Bye girl, bye girl."  "Burning bread."
