Alex-isms

A few little anecdotes for your enjoyment:

On Saturday, Alex & I went to buy flowers.  I wanted to go to Linder's flower mart - for those of you not in the Twin Cities, Linder's is a local nursery, and they set up tent "flower marts" in about 50 grocery store parking lots around the city.  They had their flowers marked at 50% off, and I knew they would be closing soon.  When we got there, the tent was completely gone.  I said, "Oh no!  It's gone!"
Alex: "That ok, Mommy.  We can buy more at the store."
Me: "No, honey, the store is gone."
Alex: (incredulous): "No Mommy... stores no have feet!"


Later...
In the car, Alex said something funny (which I have now forgotten).  I chuckled and said, "You're funny."  She replied, "Yeah, I cute too."


We had some visitors on Saturday morning.  My cousin Beth, her husband Jason, and their little girl Layla came to play for a bit before heading North to see her parents.  Layla is 6 months younger than Alex, so I feared there would be sharing issues.  But Alex was pleased to show off her toys.  At one point, Christian picked up a toy that Layla had been playing with a few minutes earlier.  Alex loudly reprimanded him, got the toy away from him, and handed it to Layla saying, "Here you go, little one."
