Khalila Quotes with long explainations

"Mama, you can't eat your poop, you can't eat your poop because it is poisonous" (I don't know where she had this conversation, but she must have learned this from somewhere)

"I want to have a party, I think it should be a Howler Monkey party and they could invite Chinstrap penguins." I know I may have heard about Howler monkeys, but definitely haven't heard of the chinstrap penguins. I knew her intelligence would surpass mine, I just didn't know she would be three when it happened. :) We have Diego to thank for her intimate knowledge of other animals that are not in North America.

I also hoped to raise her with a broader knowledge about groups. I learned a cow was a cow, never knew there were Jersey cows, Milking Devon cows, and Holstein Cows. A horse was a horse, and a tree was a tree. I knew the green apples were granny smiths, but the red ones were all just apples. I want Khalila to know more of the specific names and even descriptions. Knowledge opens worlds, and I am determined to give her as much as I can. Luckily she gets it from other places or else a penguin would still be a penguin and a monkey just that, a monkey.

Yesterday she found me crying in the office (she is waking up earlier and earlier) and asked me what was wrong. I told her I was sad, for it is good for her to learn that you can be sad, express it, and move through it. I want her to have a healthy relationship with her feelings. I know it is also a balance, for my mother went into the land of over share with us (I am depressed and want to kill myself, I don't want to live, I can't find a reason to keep me here) Of course that is a valid feeling to move through but at six it's kinda hard to process. So I keep it simple, and will work hard to not let her feel it is her fault or that she is not worthy. She asked why I was sad and I told her that I couldn't get a baby in my uterus. After my long winded introduction to her quote her it is she said
" I can help you with your uterus, I can help you make a baby, I can get the baby in the uterus." She is the best, I am so blessed.
