Independent body parts?

Lana: The eyeball is sad!!

Huh.

Lana: I am snuggling with Jordan! (referring to a photo) he loves snuggling and E is for Emily!

Bubble bath?

Lana: I'm a nice dragon. Go to a bubble bath in me!!

Identity problems.

Lana: I want to be a girl forever!!
Sveta: I want to be a birdie!

Nighttime.

Lana: I like Santa. He likes to come to my house and pllaayy with mee and all that stuff!

Olives

Me: Hey, Lana, would you like some more olives?
Lana (gleefully): Shit! Shitshitshit! Oh shit! That's how you say it.
Dad (trying not to laugh): Lana, it's pronounced 'shot.'
Lana: No it isn't! Shitshitshit!
Me: Umm?
Dad: As long as she says it correctly....

Moo.

Lana, toy horse in hand, "you're a moomoo and I'm a singer!" She then ran after Sveta hollering for her to stop with a chorus of, "I just met you and I love you!!"

The week after...

Sveta wrapped a long piece of toilet paper around her head and squealed, "SANTA CLAUS HAT!!"

Happy holidays! From Lana...

Lana: Thats it! My tail is talking to me!!

Uugghh.

Today Lana drew on the wall. It's not funny but it's certainly another phase of battle.

What are you?

Lana: "I'm not a puppy or an anything! I'm a dolphin girl and that's it. I'm also a little girl fish!"

She said while sitting on the toilet as I listened from the playroom.

Mean puppies

Lana: "no more mean puppies." she said with a very sad voice.

Fetch

Sveta is now playing fetch with Lana. I mean really. Lana is being a puppy and Sveta is throwing a ball for her to retrieve. It's amazing! Though I really shouldn't be surprised. Sveta waasss walking her through the house with a slinky as a leash.

PS. I forgot to tell you that on Friday as I was getting ready to leave, Sveta came runnin through low riding her pants (with full plumber crack) an shouting "IMA LADYBUG!!!"

Hippo

Lana: I have a lot of names. I'm a hippopotamus girl and a dolphin girl and a fish girl. I'm a hippopotamus girl...daddy said so!

Heavy lifting.

I went to move a little teeny table and heavy a big groan when I did and Sveta exclaimed, " That sounds like Daddy!!"


Then we were discussing how we weren't going to rough house and i said that we don't want to make anyone sick and sveta said, " I want to make everyone sick!!!"

Dragons smoke.

Lana ( pretending to be a dragon): I'm smoking Sveta!!

Yogurt time.

Me: Lana, you like feeding your sister like a baby, huh?
Lana: Yes. Like, having a baby is a good fear. Mommy and daddy can feel like a baby.

Tall

Lana: In four day I get big! Because I need to be strong enough.

Hide and seek

During pretend little kid hide and seek...

Lana: I cannot found Sveta!
Me: Then you better keep looking!
Sveta: And don't give up!!

So much for hiding!

Santa

Me: So Lana, what did you learn about Santa claus?
Sveta: The train went really fast!
Lana: And he not wanna get mushed!!

Um.

Lana: "what are you doing in my flum?! Get out of my flum!!"

Projects

So I walked in the room carrying a pack of foam and Sveta said, "what is that?" and I said, "it's for a project later." and she got wide eyed with a giant smile and said, "I not can believe it!!"
She doesn't understand sentence structure and it's awesome.

Potty.

Me: ok girls! Time for a potty break!
Lana: we might be peepee in our panties! We don't want that.

The cat

Sveta: Mario is taking a baf!!
At which point she lifted her leg toward her face and mimed licking her knee.

Channukah

So I was telling the girls about channukah and said, "Girls, do you know that you are Jewish?"
To which Lana replied, "I love Jewishes." in a sweet and matter of fact voice.

I had to give a timeout to Lana for something and afterward we were discussing what had happened and I said, "Who is the grown up?"
She mournfully replied, "Emily."
And I said, "Who is the kid?"
An again mournfully she replied, "Daddy."

Pens

The letter E as created by Lana.






It's a good try haha.

Snow or rain?

Sveta was gazing out of the window today and said, "maybe I can have snow in my face?"

Awesome.

Return from the north

I haven't been at work for more than 10 minutes and Sveta is tellling me about the doll sitting inside of the block house she built.
Sveta: he's in the kitchen!
Me: what is he making?
Sveta: pineconnesss!!! .......and cherrrriieesss!!!

Delicious!

Later that day...

Lana: I'm a banana muffin!!....and a dolphin.

Fish and pudding.

Today over our snack of vanilla yogurt Sveta announced that she would like to be a "big big biigggg daddy." she meant that she wants to be tall but Lana and I were confused and so Lana just stared at Sveta and said, "I want to be mommy........" but then ahe hesistated and said, "AND daddy!"



While laying under a table...

Lana: "I'm a fish! A....a...cricket fish! I'm a cricket fish. A white cricket fish!.........mommy and daddy are going to see, when I'm not doing anything, that I becomed a fish................don't touch my tail. I'm a fish and that's my tail. Don't touch my tail..........I like to stay in the ocean. I'm a fish to stay in the ocean."
"I'm a girl fish. I'm a like to swim and and annndd I'm a fish!"
"Stop kicking my tank!!! I'm a fish! Be nice to me!"
"I sing like a fish 'i'm a fish! I like to swim! I swim with my tail! I love my tail to swimmm and my tail doesn't sing! I like fish!!!! I'm a one fish!'"
"C'mon Sveta I'm a fish! You can learn me to swim!"

Emily: "Sveta are you a baby fish too?"
Sveta: "No I'm a daddy fish."
Lana: "I have a mouth!"

It kept going! Forever! Just laying under the table and rambling about life as a fish.

Glup glup.

I'm back!

I was out of town for a few days so I was out of the weird-stuff-they-say loop for awhile. Fortunately they're doing quite well today.

For example.

We were walking in the freezing cold back from from the park and Lana just flopped belly down in the mud (this is following a conversation about not sitting in mud). When I asked why she flopped inthe mud and told her to get up she said, "But I'm an alligator!!" Prior to this there had been no mention of alligators. Weird.
