(while sitting on the toilet, after seeing one of our dryer balls on the laundry room floor) "Oh look! There's a little ball for me to look at while I go potty!"
(pointing to two giant stuffed snowmen) "This one's name is Princess Leia, and this one's name is Han Solo. No, Luke Skywalker. No, Han Solo."
(upon finding a humongous Christmas gift bag, with awe in her eyes) "Who is this really big present for?"
(when turning on the oven light, and then looking in the oven window at the pie) "Now I'm turning on the light. Now I'm looking in the window. There's the pie. Now we're going to shut off the lights and let it sleep."
Lauren: "Oh! I knocked over the water!" Alana: "It's okay, it'll dry!"
Me: (cooing) "Oh my God, look at Nathan's teeny tiny little diaper!" Alana: (scrunching up her face and cooing back in a high pitched baby voice, while holding her index finger and thumb half an inch apart) "I know, it is just so little!"
(on her second trip to the bathroom) Lauren: "Do you need help again, or do you needs some privacy?" Alana: (says nothing, but just slams the door shut)
Alana: "Look at the baby flashlight!" Lauren: "You can have it if you want, Alana." Alana: (with a "You dumbass" expression on her face) "I DO have it."
Lauren: "Do you want an Eskimo kiss?" Alana: "Yes. What is that?" (Eskimo kiss is given) Lauren: "How about a butterfly kiss?" Alana: "Um...okay!" (butterfly kiss is administered) Now I want a lion's kiss. What's that like?"
