Bailey Quotes

Sisters in the crib.

Like Mother, Like Daughter....Bailey wanting to "pump." I turned it on her belly for a second...she thought that was so funny!

Bailey's Beta fish Dorothy died recently. She received the fish from Uncle Ryan and Britt on her 2nd birthday. She didn't notice she was dead until her cousins Max and Magnus came over and saw her at the bottom of the tank. Bailey got real sad and kept saying, "Poor Dorothy." Magnus told her she should get a rainbow fish. A week later, driving in the car, Bailey says to me, "Um...she's (Dorothy) dead, and when she goes flushed down the toilet, there's some guys down there, and they're making her a rainbow."

Bailey's imaginary friend is Dugoff (DU-goff). We learned today that he has dark, curly hair and wears a suit. He comes over when she is eating at the table and I let him in the back door. They play at "Old MacDonalds" (McDonald's), which is currently our devoid-of-furniture living room. She loves to run races in circles, spin and twirl, and shoot hoops. She pretends it is closed and runs out and stands in front of the office doors in the foyer. Mama and Daddy have to run out too. Then she'll shout, "It's open!" and we run back in and run in circles. This comes from our February trip to Bend, when, on the drive home, we stopped at McDonalds and the playland was closed because the roof above it was leaking. We kept on the road and the next time we stopped -- at Carl's Jr's -- she got to play on the playland. She was running around shouting, "It's open! They fixed the leak!!"

On an especially tiring day, I say to Bailey: "You're driving me crazy!" She replies, "I'm not driving!"

6-27-11: Bailey started a movie on iTunes all by herself. The movie was already set up, so she just had to push the spacebar to unpause it. She says, "I got the movie already myself on!!!"

Seeing a spider on the ceiling above the kitchen table: "Go away spider or Mama will get the vacuum and vacuum you in the dust!"
