We were listening to a phonics song in the car today. At one point Brin says with some injured dignity, “Dad! B isn’t for banana. It’s for Brinley. Buh buh Brinley.”
As Brin sees me pop a piece of gum in my mouth, she says, “Hey! I just had a piece of bug-a-bum, too!”
Throughout our hike today I asked Brinley a number of times if she has to go potty since there’s a long ride home. Finally she got fed up and said, “No, I don’t have to go. I said it a hundred times!
Brin knocks on my door while I’m working.
“You forgot this” she says helpfully, while handing me a coupon for plumbing services she just found in the mail.
Brin is learning letters with the help of songs. This morning she busts out with “C is for tree! A-A-tree-ee!”
Brin discovers what a scrubbing brush is while at the kitchen sink. After spending some time scrubbing the sink with it she declares, “Brinleys can always wash with this.”
While on a hike we pass a hiker going the other direction. After saying the customary “Good morning!” Brin tells him, “It’s a beautiful day, man.”
Brinley went to bed tonight tightly clutching two fistfuls of coins.
Brin and Sarah are driving in the car when Brin suggests, “Let’s call John!”
Sarah asks, “Who’s John?”
Brin replies, “He’s a big, grownup man. “
Sarah asks, “How do you know him?”
Brin replies, “He’s my daddy.”
Brinley sees a squirrel and tries to call it over to her. When it doesn’t come, she throws up her hands and says, “What is happening to this world?!”
