JULIANA, AGE 3
Me, holding Adalyn: "Look, baby sister is
looking out the window.'
Juliana: "She is thinking about tigers
that might eat her."
JULIANA, 4 YEARS
Conversation with Anna (who had gotten a new car):
Juliana: Did you drive it out of the store?
Me: No, it wasn't at a store. I went to somebody's house to get it.
Juliana: Ooooh, they weren't home?

I just found Juliana's kid dinner knife hidden
inside her pillow case.
JULIANA, 3 YEARS
Juliana wanted to play "fight," but
Anna suggested she play peacemaking instead. Kitty and Elephant were fighting,
and Anna asked how they could make peace. Juliana had them hug each other and
be friends, then they said, "Let's be bad guys!" And then she beat
them with a pool noodle. I think it's safe to say she missed the point.
JULIANA, 4 YEARS
Juliana was playing restaurant with Yaya when
they got locked inside. Yaya said, "It's okay, I have a key."
Juliana: "Well, why don't we use this big sledgehammer instead?"
JULIANA, 4 YEARS
Adalyn: Mama get waterbottle!
Juliana: She thinks mama is the waterbottle
and she wants to drink her blood.
ADALYN, 4 YEARS
Playing with strawberries at dinner...
Juliana: Do you like it? I made a flower.
Adalyn: Do you like it? I made a jail.
JULIANA, 3 YEARS
I'm throwing a princess party for Juliana and
a few friends because I know they'll enjoy it, even though I'm a bit skeptical
about all this princess stuff. While we were making a castle cake Juliana said,
"Can we make a knife cake instead? With a little kid holding a
knife?" So I'm not concerned about princesses anymore...
NADIA, AGE 4
Hear Adalyn crying from the other room. Nadia
comes out looking a bit guilty. "Adalyn wasn't cleaning up so I cut off
her head."
JULIANA, 4 YEARS
Juliana just got a new purple balloon...
Yaya: Remember that you can't let Adalyn have
the balloon, because if she got it in her mouth she could choke on it.
Juliana: That would be sad. Because I really like purple.
