Alyson reached for her milk cup as Madelyn brought it to the table for dinner.

Madelyn: Can Alyson have her milk?
Alyson: Uh huh!

Alyson was pushing around the toy shopping cart full of food.

Madelyn, standing in front of her: Sorry, this lane is closed.
Alyson pushed the cart full speed into Madelyn's legs. (Sigh.)

Madelyn wanted to sit in the cart with Alyson at Sam's Club since they have the double seats. We told her she could if she wasn't too big to fit into it.

Madelyn: Alyson, are you excited to sit with me if I'm not too big?
Alyson: No!

First

Trying to get more blueberry banana baked oatmeal at breakfast:

Alyson: Ehh!
Tony: Alyson, Mommy is bringing you more.
Alyson: Ohh! 

Second

While watching the fireworks, repeatedly:
"Wow!"
"Boom!"
Pointing to the sky and looking at anyone around: "Ehhh! Ehhh!" (Look! Look!)

At Grandma's, Alyson dropped the ball she had and it rolled under the couch. She got down and tried to reach it, but couldn't. So, she walked over to where they keep one of those grabber things and pointed to it while saying "Ehhh!". Grandpa got the grabber, and they walked back to the couch to get the ball. Once Alyson had the ball, she purposely through it back under the couch and pointed to where it went. Oooh! Fun new game!

After we got home today, Madelyn was sitting on the couch watching Doc McStuffins. I was sitting there as well checking email. Alyson was running around playing and disappeared into the playroom. She came back to the living room with a bottle of mustard and a can of something from the play kitchen. She walked over to me, gave them to me, and disappeared toward the playroom again. When she came back out, she had a bowl and a baby bottle.

Alyson, giving me the bowl and baby bottle: Ehhh?
Me: Thank you, but I need a fork or spoon to be able to eat it.
Alyson, looking at me like I asked for the most unreasonable thing in the world and then running back to the playroom: Aaahhh!

After a minute or so of rustling around in the playroom, Alyson came back.

Alyson, holding up a syringe from a play doctor kit: Ehhh?
Me: No, that's a syringe. I need a fork to eat.
Alyson, turning and running back to the playroom: Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!

Madelyn and I heard more commotion from the playroom.

Me to Madelyn: I think you should go back and help her.

Madelyn goes back to the playroom. Finally, they both come back to the living room and Alyson hands me a fork.

Me to Alyson: Mmmm.... This is delicious. Thank you very much!

Alyson looked at me very pleased with herself.

While watching the US vs. Belgium World Cup game, after the US scored:

Me: Woo hoo!
Alyson: Wow ooo!
