While the girls were finishing up their desserts:

Madelyn to me or Tony: Can I have more milk?
Alyson: Nope!

During Madelyn's birthday party, Julie was talking to Alyson.

Julie: Alyson, your "yeah" is the best ever.
Alyson: Yeah.

We have two elves and a reindeer that hide around the house and create a little bit of funny mischief like Elf on a Shelf, but without any of the other rules. It's a bit of silliness for the girls. When we got home today, the girls walked into the house to find that the elves and reindeer had created a sledding hill out of the couch pillows and were using Alyson's slippers as sleds. Alyson laughed when she saw them, but then her laughter quickly turned into a questioning sound of "What?!?!" She ran over to them, yelled "Out!", and grabbed them to quickly pull them out of her slippers. She then took her shoes off and put her slippers on.

Over the last few days, Madelyn has stared saying, "Oh, gosh!" quiet frequently. Today, Alyson the parrot started saying, "Oh, josh!" I think we need to figure out who Josh is and have a talk with him and his parents. ;-)

While Madelyn and Alyson had their "baby" sleeping in the playroom, Alyson kept walking around to everyone putting her finger to her mouth and stage whispering, "Shhh.... Baby! Baby!"

Madelyn, frantically running back to the bathroom: I have to go potty!
Alyson, running after her, panting: In there! In there!

Alyson came out to get me in the kitchen because she insisted on sitting on her potty as well. Nope, she didn't do anything, but she tried. I think she had gone very recently, though, because her diaper was very wet. (Soon, but I kind of wish she wasn't acting ready to potty train right before the holidays when schedules will be crazy!)

I was standing just inside the bathroom door getting Madelyn to brush her teeth. Tony came in with Alyson to brush Alyson's teeth and had to squeeze in past me to get into the room. As they went behind me, Alyson reached out, poked me, and said, "BOOP!"
