Alyson cut her lip today slightly. After she finished her dinner, she asked for dessert.

Me: What do you want?
Alyson: Umm...
Me: Does your lip still hurt?
Alyson: No.
Me: You should have said, "yes".
Alyson: Why?
Me: Because we still have popsicles. Wouldn't a popsicle feel good on your lip?
Alyson: Yeah.
Tony: So, does your lip still hurt?
Alyson, thinking and smiling: YES!

Madelyn is curious every month when it's a full moon and if the mood has a special name. She noticed the clock and Mom and Dad's had the moon completely filled in.

Madelyn: Is it a full moon?
Dad: Is it completely filled in?
Madelyn: Yeah.
Dad: Then it should be.
Madelyn: I wonder what the full moon will be called if it is a full moon.
Alyson: A circle moon.
Me: Not every full moon has a special name.

First

The dragon at the mini-golf course at Broadway at the Beach was torn down and they were doing construction in the area. Alyson was not please. While we were walking to "Dinosaurs: The Exhibition" she pouted, "I think dragons are better than dinosaurs."

Second

We passed a woman with a puppy who wanted to play. The woman was making sure the dog didn't jump on the girls. After we passed, Alyson said, "I would like a dog if it's as tame as an ant."

While on the beach, Alyson asked to go potty. It wasn't a big deal, but I honestly didn't feel like walking up to the restrooms with her.

Alyson: If you're mad that I have to go, don't blame me, blame my body.

Me: Nope, I'm not mad. Don't worry.

One of the holes at the mini golf course we went to had a pirate mannequin trapped in a dungeon. While we were playing that hole, Alyson announced, "I'm actually happy that person is in the dungeon because then it can't get me." (She knew it was all pretend.)

While we were on the beach today, Alyson randomly turned to me as asked, "Mama, is 100 bigger than 14?"

Alyson was looking at a coupon book for touristy things to do in the area when she suddenly announced, "I REALLY want to go water skiing!"
