Bill yelled at her to stop running. She ran over to him, her little legs going and proclaimed &#8220;Daddy, my body is telling me I have to run! I can&#8217;t stop running, because my body wants me to run in the house!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Bill overheard this exchange between Olivia and Sophia, as Sophia was trying to get a book off of the bookshelf in the living room. &#8220;No Sophia, we aren&#8217;t allowed to get a book off of the shelf unless our room is clean and our room isn&#8217;t clean, so Mama and Daddy won&#8217;t let us have a book.&#8221; Bill said &#8220;I was so ready to be proud of Olivia, and then I heard the REST of the conversation.&#8221; Olivia continued: &#8220;So, you have to be really quiet when you&#8217;re getting them off of the shelf so Daddy doesn&#8217;t hear you!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>After we had put the girls to bed one night, we heard clucking, chicken noises, followed by whining and then, crying. Bill went into the room to find Sophia sobbing &#8220;Olivia is being a chicken, but I don&#8217;t want her to be a chicken!&#8221; Olivia responded by clucking at Bill. Bill said &#8220;Okay Olivia, no more chicken noises, time for bed. Sophia, calm down she won&#8217;t make any more chicken noises.&#8221; As soon as he had shut the door, he heard Olivia say: &#8220;Moo&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>After farting one morning, Olivia sniffed and said &#8220;Why do I smell broccoli?&#8221; I told her &#8220;Because you tooted!&#8221; She responded: &#8220;But, that&#8217;s crazy, toots don&#8217;t smell like broccoli.&#8221; I had to inform her that sometimes, toots DO smell like broccoli.<\/li>\n<li>The girls have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MOBI-70174-Mobi-Glomate-Junior\/dp\/B003WKW6J8\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1301025514&amp;sr=8-3\">&#8220;person lights&#8221;<\/a> now (RIP Dinosaur lights), and one somehow got a small (barely noticeable) scratch on it. Of course, every night Sophia complains that she doesn&#8217;t like the &#8220;one with a scratch&#8221;. At dinner she kept complaining that she didn&#8217;t like scratches, and I responded that she only has Olivia or herself to blame and to stop being so silly. Olivia said &#8220;Well, maybe it was a tiger.&#8221; &#8220;A tiger?&#8221; Bill asked. &#8220;Yes. A tiger. Maybe the tiger tried to bite the person light, but he couldn&#8217;t, so he scratched it, and then when he saw the other person light he tried to bite it, and couldn&#8217;t, but couldn&#8217;t scratch it either because he ran out of scratches. So that is why one has a scratch and the other one doesn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>My birthday is Saturday, and Bill told the girls we were going to Disneyland to celebrate Mama&#8217;s birthday. Unfortunately, he told them LAST weekend, so of course the concept of time is a little lost on them in the excitement. Olivia looked at me last weekend and said &#8220;Mama? Why can&#8217;t you have your birthday already? I want to go to Disneyland!&#8221; I looked at her and said &#8220;yeah, about 30 years ago your MeMe was asking the same question.&#8221; (I was born two weeks late).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Olivia wandered into our bedroom one night after she had been put to bed. &#8220;Mama?&#8221; I was used to her stall tactics, so I looked at her and said &#8220;What is it, Olivia?&#8221; &#8220;You know what Sophia has?&#8221; She asked me. &#8220;No, what does Sophia have?&#8221; &#8220;Sophia has a two-head!&#8221; &#8220;A two-head?&#8221; I [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[64,7,14],"tags":[129,130,126,135,128,127,66,133,71,134,132,131],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2834"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2834\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ourlittlethings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
