Today we went to an aquarium. At one of the fish feeding exhibits a big fish splashed Brinley and mommy, drenching them. Later in the car Brinley speculated that “maybe the fish wanted to show us one of its talents.”

Last night Brinley unwittingly drank from a cup that had some soap in it. Recounting the memory, she describes the taste with extreme displeasure as “peanut butter and goldfish crackers with a tattoo”.

Brinley asks me to play a song from Boss Baby 2 on my phone. As it starts, she gets a huge grin on her face and says, “Isn’t this a catchy tune?”

We’re driving down the freeway when Brin spots a crane. “Cranes are that big.”

This morning Micah asks if he can use his iPad. “Papa, purple iPad?” But in his toddler voice it comes out as “pa pa pa pa pa pa?”

Micah got very excited when the robot vacuum turned on, saying “Black vacuum! Black vacuum!” Brinley, 5, responded with, “Kids. They’re just so silly.”

Brinley lamenting the cheese options at the grocery store:

“The store didn’t have any monsterella cheese!”

Brinley bemoans not being able to unbuckle herself in her car seat.

“It’s too strong for my little thumbies.“

Brinley looking down at her poop in the toilet:

“That looks like a cactus that looks like a pineapple!”
