Delighted

Quote from Abigail (aged 3):

• "Oh, I'm so delighted that I am going to Granny's house!"
  

On Being a Child

A couple of recent quotes from Kathleen (aged 6 1/2):

• Dad: "I wish you would stop fighting with each other!" - Kathleen: "We are children, Dad, we can't."
• On another occasion, at bedtime - Dad: "Bed!" - Kathleen: "In our family children are not dogs."
  

TVs

Another one from the three year old - we were in a shop on Saturday, and we were buying a bunch of DVDs. She saw them and said:

• "Daddy - you're buying some TVs!"
  

Thank You

My baby daughter Lucia's favourite sayings at the moment are (aged 13 months):

• "Da-kooo" (her version of "thank you") - she says this in a loud, impatient voice while pointing at something she wants.
• "Bsss" - her version of "please" when we can convince her to calm down on the "da-koo" thing and ask nicely!
• "Baa" - Goodbye
  
• "Mum" - means virtually anything, really.
  

Birthday, Eyes & Heart

Little Abigail (who turns 3 tomorrow) at bedtime this evening said:

• "I can't keep my eyes open until it's my birthday!"

Here are some of her other recent quotes as well:

• "My little eye begins with... "
• "I love you with all the pieces of my heart."
  

Mum's Birthday

I seem to be having a run of these quotes, so here's another from my not-quite-3-year-old daughter Abigail - It's what she said she "wrote" on my wife's birthday card:

"To Abigail - I hope Mum has a birthday."

The Time

Today's quote - from Abigail aged not quite three:

"What time is it today, Daddy?"
