Halloween

 Thanks to the generosity of aunts and grandmas, Lucy had six costumes to chose from this Halloween.  She wore the Cinderella dress on Halloween day and the Ladybug Girl outfit to Halloween events over the weekend.  Gram Sancken bought her an adorable parrot costume that I could not convince her to put on, even for a picture.  I ended up wearing the parrot hat trick or treating.  It was nice and warm.

Gaseous Planet

Lucy: "I'm the sun. Dad you're mars."
Me: "What planet can I be?"
Lucy: "Jupiter."
Me: "I don't want to be Jupiter. Jupiter's a fat planet."
Lucy: "Okay, you can be Venus."
Me: "Oh good! Venus is a pretty planet."
Caleb: "... full of gas."

It's as big as you.

Lucy: "I want a bassoon."
Me: "You're a little too small for a bassoon."
Lucy: "But I want one.  And I grew a lot this year."

Potty talk

Lucy: "Doody booty!"
Me: "What?"
Lucy: "Doody booty! That means poopy butt." (laughs)
I see we've begun potty humor. But I'd like to think she's a little more high brow than the average 3-year-old. At least it rhymes.

Light of the world

Caleb was singing "You are the light of the world, oh people!" around the house.  Lucy stopped him and said, "No you're not!  You're my father!"

Messy House? See: toddler.

Lucy dumped an entire bucket of randomly collected toys all over the floor.
Me: "Noooooo! Now I'm sad. Our whole house is so messy."
Lucy: "No it's not. Look, this piece right here is clean." (Pointing to a small 3' x 3' space in the kitchen).
Indeed. Always look on the bright side of life.

Vomit drama

For those who have been following Lucy's vomit drama: the pediatric gastroenterologist's diagnosis of a blocked intestine treatable by Miralax is wrong. She's vomiting again.  On to plan J (because we've already surpassed plans A, B and C).

Food School

Today we went to the apple orchard on a field trip with Lucy's preschool today.  There is a segment of the field trip called "apple school" where they teach the kids how apples are grown.  On the way home Lucy wanted to know, "Next time can we go to ice cream school?"

It was a ceramic pumpkin soap dispenser

Today, for the first time, I had to pay for something Lucy broke in a store.  I have a feeling it won't be the last.

Happy 3rd birthday to the sweetest little girl I know!  
It's a joy being your momma.
And you should know something.  Your father is a robot.

Lucy knows funny

Lucy shrieks at the top of her lungs and then laughs hysterically.
Me: "Lucy, don't do that in the car.  That's not funny."
Lucy: "It is funny.  I'm laughing.  I know funny."
