Funny Girl

At the Friday Play Group, I overheard this conversation between Rylee and her worker, Sandra while they were doing a role playing game.

Sandra: Oh Rylee the baby is crying, what do we do?
Rylee: She's hungry.
Sandra: What should we feed her? (no response) Should we get her a bottle?
Rylee: No, she wants a hotdog.
Oh great, now they think I feed the baby hotdogs!! And I hope Rylee doesn't say anything about the highchair, because it will come out like this: Jayme gets tied up! Next thing I know, the CAS will be at the door because it sounds like we tie up the baby and force-feed her hotdogs!! lol

After Play Group, Rylee was sitting at the kitchen counter eating her yogourt. I look over and here she has put her spoon down and is attempting to eat the yogourt with just her mouth. The conversation goes something like this:
Me: (after I give her the Mommy-stare) Use your spoon please!
Ry: (no response)
Me: Rylee, use your spoon please!!!
Ry: (looks up at me so innocently) Bears don't use spoons!
Me: (thinking to myself) Well, yah got me there!
Then she proceeds to tell me and show me how a bear eats - licking at the counter top.
Ry: This is how a turtle eats (shows me)
Ry: This is how a fox eats (shows me)
Ry: This is how a beaver eats (shows me)
Then she just picks up her spoon and continues on like nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
You gotta love it!!!


Our bed-time routine goes something like this:
Rylee says night night to Daddy and Jayme. Hugs and kisses are exchanged then they leave the room. I tuck her in, we try all the toys on her bed and then it's rule time.
Me: Have a good sleep, and what are the rules.
Ry: Don't wander around
Me: Yup, and....
Ry: Stay in your bed.
Me: Yup, and....
Ry: Don't jump off your dresser
Me: (thinking holy cow, you jump off your dresser while I'm not in here?) Well, that sounds like a good rule!
Now when we do the night time rules, we start with the dresser one first. Hooboy!

So last night, she gets tucked in as usual and then I went to check on her when I was getting ready for sleep. I peek in (it's really quiet in there) and here she is fully clothed...I mean she had on leotards, 2 pairs of long underwear, a turtleneck, a t-shirt, 2 long-sleeved shirts and a dress. All the sheets are off her bed and she's just staring out the window. Then, she spots me and lets out a blood-curdling scream while she's flinging her clothes off! I'm trying not to laugh while I give her the low-down about not obeying the rules!!
Guess we'll have to be more specific tonight and add: no getting dressed!!

She is a funny girl!!!!
