Julia in Snippets
by Leslie
Julia had been playing in her playroom. “Rock and Roll All Nite” was thumping through the ceiling and I could hear her jumping and dancing around to the music. After three or four plays, the upstairs fell eerily quiet. I thought I’d better walk up there and make sure she wasn’t escaping out the window or building a bomb. I opened the door to find her working on a puzzle with her cat Katie sprawled out nearby.
“I just wanted to check on you.” I looked around to make sure the peaceful puzzle-making wasn’t some kind of cover up. “You’re being nice to Katie, right?”
“Mostly.”
***
“Mommy, you stink.”
“You really think I stink?”
“Yep. I sure do.”
“Well, what do I smell like?”
“Watermelon.”
***
Julia was rushing around, trying to hurry out the door to play. I said, “Julia. Slow down, honey. Catch your breath.”
“My breath is caught,” she said inhaling and exhaling loudly and deliberately, “Don’t you hear it?”
***
After hearing the baby’s heartbeat on Monday:
“Julia, what did you think of that?”
“It was nice, but I’m not really excited about it right now. Mostly, I want to play with that boy out in the waiting room.”
***
“Julia, if you try your very best and pay attention in piano class, afterward, we’ll go to McDonald’s for milk and cookies and you can play in the play area.”
“Alright! Do you think there will be other kids there that have been really good for me to play with?”

Three-year olds. Don’t you just love them?

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
“the boy in the waiting room” lol
Kids….gotta love ‘em.
Julia’s got a boyfriend. Julia’s got a boyfriend. Three was a good year for my son. Now he’s a wild spaz and very loud.
I love YOUR three year old. Mine? Eh. They aren’t as cute when ya live with em.
I love that Julia was more interested in playing with the other kid than the baby’s heartbeat. Too funny!
My favorite was the comment about hearing the baby’s heartbeat!!! I miss three.
Kids say the cutest things because they are honest. She is certainly “mostly” nice to the cat
They’re cute when they’re sleeping. Other than that my 3 year old is just one giant vortex for energy. When he’s around all my energy just gets sucked right out of me!
Oh these are great!
Yes, I do. They are so fun. Five is pretty good — four is a little rough, but five is a blessing. They just want to PLEASE you.
Yes, I sure do!
Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm, stinky watermelon? … These are too cute.
