#1
JULIA: Mommy? Are me and Madeleine twins?
ME: No, you're not twins. You're older than Madeleine.
JULIA: But when Madeleine and I are the same age, THEN will we be twins?
#2
ME: Madeleine, no-no in your mouth! Yucky.
JULIA: What did she put in her mouth?
ME: A piece of wicker.
JULIA: What's wicker?
ME: It's a kind of material that's used to make things like baskets.
JULIA: (thoughtful for a minute) But Mom? Why is the wine and beer store called the Wicker Store?
ME: It's called the L-l-l-liquor store. Liquor begins with an L. WICKER begins with a W.
MADELEINE: Wicker. Wicker. Wicker.
(Whether she is saying "wicker" or "liquor" is unclear, since she pronounces her w and l the same way at the moment. A great new word for my toddler to be walking around saying.)
Along with her continued verbal growth, Madeleine has become more and more independent lately. She once again decided to take matters into her own hands and get the milk out of the fridge, then get a little cup from the play kitchen. Had I not intervened, I'm pretty sure she would have figured out how to take the top off the milk gallon too:
