Sofia: When I am a mother, I am going to have more money than you, because I will carry a big purse.

This was after a trip to Wal-Mart, when Sofia decided she wanted to buy a toy that was $4, and realized how small her purse would be after paying for it.

Lately, Sofia loves to ask me, “are you bien or mal?” then answers “que fabuloso!” or “pobrecito!”

I eventually had to ask her to say “nice try mom” when I don’t pronounce the Spanish as she wants me to! She was getting so picky, and I could never do it right, of course!

Sofia feels very empowered by the number 6 these days. I'm wondering if someone in her class turned 6 perhaps? Or, perhaps she just realized it’s bigger than 5? Anyhow, it’s pretty funny!

Today she asked me if she could watch a movie when we got home. I told her perhaps. She responded, "Mom, one time when you were a little girl, you watched too many movies, and your brain squashed and squashed down and down until your head disappeared!"

Oh, the things children say! Here are some of Fia's latest:

* After lunch yesterday, Fia spotted a bald man talking on his cell phone, and she said "hey, mama, he looks like John McCain because he has very short hair on top!"

* At a store, Fia found a beautiful, frilly dress, and really wanted it. After I explained to her that it was expensive, and we wouldn't buy it, she said "but I need an expensive dress because I'm an expensive girl!"

* While Jade and Rylie were visiting us, Jade said something about Emerson not being able to sit because he's a baby. Fia responded, "but I have a babysitter in the basement!" She went down, and brought up a baby seat (hence, "baby sitter"!).

Sofia says some funny things. Here are some examples:

"I want to play in the back-front!"

"The other day-night we went to a restaurant!"

"I'm just a little bit short-tall."
