Hummus

Thalia: I'm very sick! I need to go to the doctor!
Laura: You're sick? What do you have?
Thalia: I have hummus...

I hear that's been spreading.

Thalia's Theme Song

I overheard Thalia playing in the living room by herself joyfully singing her new theme song:

I can't obey Daddy!
I can't obey Daddy!
I Caaaaan't!
Obeeeeeey!
I can't do it!
Daddy!..."

at least it's catchy...

Where's Your Helmet?

Laura: Thalia, where's your helmet? Do you know where your helmet is?
Thalia: Yeah.
Laura: (after a pause) Are you just saying yeah to me?
Thalia: Yeah...

Not OK

Whenever Thalia hurts herself, she loudly cries out
"DADDY! I'M OK! I'M OK! I'M OK!"
Nevermind that she's actually not OK and needs a Band-Aid, asap!...
Now I come running whenever she says OK...

My Helpful Rebel

Me: Here, Thalia, throw this away for Daddy, please.
Thalia: (with attitude) OK. I won't!

She then takes it from me and walks straight to the kitchen and throws it away...
Who's complaining? I'll take uncivil obedience any day over the other kind...

Breakfast Appetizer

Before breakfast this morning:

Thalia: I want to watch a movie!
Me: We will watch something later, honey.
Thalia: No!
Me: Do you want to eat toast?
Thalia: No!

Me: Do you want cereal?

Thalia: No!

Me: Do you want an apple?

Thalia: No!

Me: Do you want a banana?

Thalia: No!

Me: Do you want a hug?

Thalia: Yes! I want a hug!

She has an appetite for affection...

Eating Baby

Sophia: Where's Freya?

Me: She's eating.

Sophia: Where is she eating?

Me: With Mommy.

Sophia: Where's Mommy?

Me: In bed.

Thalia: Eating Freya.

Uh, no, Thalia, we don't eat our young, haha...
