Admiral Boom Frog

I've always had a complex about how my voice sounded on video, etc. This quote from Dahia doesn't help that complex... even if I was talking through the baby monitor.

Dahlia: "Daddy sounds like a combination of Michigan J. Frog and Admiral Boom over the monitor."

Yohan the ninja

The kids were playing out in their snow fort and later in the day I asked Dahlia about it. She told me they were pretending to be from Japan. She said "Anthony is Yohan, Joey is Louie, and I am Emily."

I like butter and butter

We were watching some home videos the other night and we all had a good laugh at Dahlia when she was 2. In the video I came into the kitchen and found Dahlia eating butter.

Me:       "Dahlia! What are you doing? How much butter did you eat?"
Dahlia:  "Five butter."

Who knows how much five butter is, but she didn't hesitate to say it.

Mail man awkwardness

The FEDEX man rang the doorbell and Mindy went to to door holding Honoria, followed by Joey and Dahlia. When Mindy opened the door, she heard Dahlia say, "Hi, cutey pie!"

It took Mindy a second to register, and there was an awkward pause. Then Mindy said to Dahlia, "Heh heh, you were talking to the baby, right?" (which of course she was). The guy chuckled, handed Mindy the package and moved on.

More philosophy from Dahlia

"Nothing likes to get killed."

Fishing lesson for Dahlia

Dahlia just asked the boys about fishing.

Dahlia: Are the fish alright?
Nathaniel: Alright when?
Dahlia: when the hook gets caught in their mouth.
Anthony: It hurts them, I know that.
Nathaniel: Yeah, it hurts 'em alright.
Anthony: Yeah. Once Boppa hooked a fish in the eye.

Lots of reassurance there, right. That is what big brothers are for.
