Chewie's Legs

Sophie: I had a bad dream last night.
Mommy: Really? What was it about?
Sophie: I was outside playing with Chewie and I tried to put her in the chair but her legs broke off. There was blood, so I buried her. Then I showed you. Then she started moving.

Your life

Sophie: Is mommy your life?
Me, a little taken aback: Well, yes, and so are you, and Brooklyn and Jackson.
Sophie: No! I'm not your life! I'm your daughter!

Chicago boyfriend

From Mommy:

Sophie: When I'm big I'm gonna take my boyfriend to Chicago for 8 days.
Me: You mean your husband. Or you could just go with a group of girl friends...
Sophie: No. I'm taking a boy.

Conversations I shouldn't be having with a four year old...

It's 8:30 and Sophie is quietly chanting in the back seat, "I'm not tired. I'm not tired. I'm not tired. I'm not tired..."

Good wipers

Sophie: I have to poop.
Papa: Okay, can you do it by yourself?
Brooklyn: She needs help.
Sophie: Yeah, I need help.

Tasting Play-Doh

Sophie: I tasted that Play Doh and it tasted yucky. I tasted it two times.
Me: If its gross why did you taste it two times?
Sophie: I had to see if it tastes good or bad.

Poop questions

"What if poop had eyes and a mouth and was dressed?" Sophie asks, completely serious, as if she has stumbled upon the greatest philosophical question of our day.

SOPHIE: Why you do dat, because you're a moron?

Sophie "To me it is."

Pronunciation

Sophie's pronunciation is getting better every day. Whereas she used to pronounce her name "Dopey" it now comes out more like "Dofie".

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley

Sophie loves Harry Potter. She loves Ron the most and always wants to be him when the kids play Harry Potter, saying, "I call Ron!" she has even said she wants to marry Ron (!). Here's a drawing she did of Harry Potter - she even drew his "scarf" (aka scar). The black figure on the left is Ron.

Board

Mommy took Sophie to the toy room to fill a basket with books for her to read. She told Sophie to get all of her board books. Sophie said, "Yeah I gotta have these. These are my board books so I don't get bored."

Girl cheese

Sophie thinks grill cheese is called girl cheese. She said she could eat it cause she is a girl and it's not called boy cheese.
