Adi told me she needed to bring a medium-sized candy with her to school for an activity. "Not big, and not small. You know, like, smaller than a watermelon, bigger than a bacteria cell."

N would prefer that I have a girl baby, "so that we can be five girls." That's it - no further explanation necessary.
Adi said a boy would be better "because right now it's like, girl, girl, girl, girl... We need a boy for a break. Like the period at the end of the sentence."
Adi also suggested that we compromise on me giving birth to girl-boy twins. I explained that (to her disappointment, and my relief) that is not going to be happening this time around.

The kids were out walking with a babysitter when D started climbing something she wasn't supposed to. (A fellow mother from daycare once told me, "That's what I think of when I think of D - that sign saying 'Warning: Do Not Climb, Danger of Death,' with your daughter trying to climb past it.")
Anyway. The babysitter told her to come down, to which D responded, entirely sincerely, "But if I climb down, how will I get to the top?"
