Recent Meredith Quotes

A sampling of common phrases used by Meredith frequently that demonstrate a slightly different dictionary and logic than the rest of us.  :)

"Let's do that tomorrow-day!"  We are now adopting this excellent new word "tomorrow-day" in our vocabulary.  Great kid logic here - we say today, yesterday, someday, everyday.
Why not say tomorrowday?!

Upon wearing a new t-shirt for pj's that has music on the back (part of a Bach work).
"Look Daddy, this shirt has lessons on it!"  Life as a child of music teachers...hope she learns and appreciates music as more than just "lessons" someday. ;)

"How your day, Mama?" said on average 1/2 a dozen times each hour of everyday.  So, this weary Mama has taught Meredith the song, "This is the day that the Lord has made" - because, instead of wearily answering that question approximately 50 times each day, singing is a kinder/more appropriate response than the actual truth sometimes. :)

When asked if she'd like something more at mealtimes (or often anytime) the answer nearly always includes, "Um....yes, just a little bit." and/or "Um....yes, not too much though."

"I don't like hot sauce.  Just Daddy likes hot sauce, not me."  Said solemnly and many times each day at random moments.  Somehow, when we told her once that hot sauce was just something Daddy used with his dinner, she found this to a be profound truth and one that everyone needs to be reminded of often.

And...here is a clip of Meredith having one of her many, imaginary role-play conversations with her doll.  Guess who's the Mama here?!
