Actual Conversation

A: Let's play doctor. I will help you.
Me: Ok. Doctor, I feel sick.
A: Take this (stethoscope) and put it here...now go to sleep. (Pats frog pillow)
Me: I don't think people go to sleep at the doctor's office!
A: Yes they do! (Walks away and mutters under her breath:) "Everybody knows that!" (She comes back in with a washcloth, and covers my mouth and one eye) "You have a fever. You're all better. Let's do something else. I want to build a playground."

Original Song by Annika

(She sings during her nap time. She sings slowly enough that I can write it down, word for word)

"Outer Space is in the sky... outer space is in the sky... You love me, I love you...outer space is fun...
Won't you say you love me? Won't you say you love- wo-wo-wo-WON"T you say you love me too?
Up in the sky, in outer space. Won't you go to outer space? Riding yourself is not easy... riding yourself isn't easy up there in outer space"

More thoughts by a 2 year old brain

"Mom, I'm going to outer space. I'm flying, but there's a banana!"

"Dancing is hard work"

"Slow down, mateys!"

"But I was eating my nose!"

"Can I pretend to be just like Daddy?" (Note: after I said yes, she pretended to be asleep :)
