Beautiful Sol

My Sol speaks BEAUTY, my Sol speaks LIFE, my Sol speaks FREEDOM. This blog is a place to document and reflect on all of the wonderful, witty, insightful, inspiring, amazing, random, hilarious, and sometimes inappropriate things my daughter "Sol Baby" says.

Today while grocery shopping....

I put a carton of eggs in the cart. We kept shopping then I hear a thud and Sol saying "the penguins and eggs". I turn around and she had dropped the carton of eggs in the bottom of the cart. Why? She knows penguins hatch from eggs, and she wanted a penguin... Only a few of them broke/cracked, but the whole incident left me cracking up. My baby is such a genuis!

Me: Sol look at this picture what do you think of it?

Sol: awwww its so cute, he is standing in a chair like mine and getting milk from his mommy like me.

Me: Do you like this picture?

Sol: yes, I wanna see some more. (leaves room)

comes back dragging her wooden chair.... now she wants to stand in it and nurse too. o_O

Sol baby and authority

"I'm going to call your mommy because you are being mean". - says Sol baby to her teacher.  She will hold you accountable for doing the right thing, whether you're an adult or child....

bed time "stories"

Sol: my nose hurt... a minute later

my eye hurt... another minute later

my arm hurt... and then

my foot hurt... last but not least

my ear hurt... 

Mommy: Sol are you telling the truth? Why does everything hurt? Is your word bond, or are you just trying not to go to sleep?

Sol: ummm. My eye feel better, my ear feel better... etc etc etc 

Mommy, is my word is bond?

Mommy: yes baby your word is bond, that's why you have to tell mommy the truth.

Sol: Mommy I gotta boo boo and pee pee. 

o_O

"play"

Mommy: Sol, lay down- do not get up again. Its quiet time, Mommy's going to put Moonbeam to sleep and then I'll be ready to put you to sleep.

Sol gets up and is bouncing off the walls. Startles Moonbeam.

Mommy: Sol, I AM NOT PLAYING WITH YOU ANYMORE, LAY .DOWN. NOW!

Sol: Crying with a very sad voice: "mommy's not going to play with me anymore"

Good day at school...

Sol had a really good day at school. We were discussing what she did to make the day so good. She said she was nice and respectful to her friends and teachers, she learned a lot of things, she played, had fun, ate all her food, used the potty, used her words to communicate, etc etc etc. I told her that the Universe had great things in store for her. She said "yes like the green trees help me breathe and the blue sky helps me fly" I love my child. She is so insightful and though provoking, she inspires me daily.

"I don't know what you come to do, I don't know what you come to do. I came to clap my hands (my hands), I came to stomp my feet (my feet), I came to read some words, (oh yeah)."

Sol baby wants Salmon

I ask Sol what she wanted for lunch. She replies "salad". This excites me because its super quick and simple. I hand her a salad with mixed greens, carrots, and tomato. She replies, "I want salmon on it".

huh? where the heck did this child come from. Clearly, she has had waaay too many salmon salads with her Baba (daddy).
