Things Lailah says and does.:p 2012-2013 some 2010

Lailah's so persuasive
"Am I sleeping in your bed tonight or my bed tonight because YOU usually like it when I sleep in YOUR bed."

me: Be careful cuz if you spill my nailpolish I will be mad.
Lai: YOUR nailpolish *laughs
me: Yes... MY nail polish. I paid for it, did you pay for any of it?
lai: No. I don't have any money and I can't get a job because I'm just a kid !


Me : you are driving me nuts !
lai: Nuts?
Me: Yes ! Nuts !
lai: Nuts? Why yes I am......


Brian: Where did you get this Rachael? *patting Lailah on the head*
Lailah: From the petstore.
Haha, my kid.

Lailah: *wearing my stethoscope* How do you been?
Me: I don't been well.
Lailah: Good ! Does that mean you're good?
LOL

 Lai: mom where we going after this? Ride around in circles?!
Me: yeah, with you on the roof.
 Lai: *laughs - you don't even have tape to do that!
Lol


 Today Lailah went to do a car wash for a foundation she's in called "follow your dreams". I was asking her how it went and she told me she washed three cars.
She then said, "And mommy we really were following our dreams!"
I said, "oh yeah? What's your dream?"
She replied "I was helping people! "
Awh I love her!


Earlier we played Skip-Bo with Lailah - with her it takes forever. So she was just whining that she wants to play again. I told her we will play again tomorrow.
So she kept whining, "I want to play again NOW."
So I sung, "You can't always get what you want."
So she sung back, "You can't either because you don't have enough moneeyyyyyyy !!"
 -.-


 Justin just got home from work and Lailah knows he goes to the bathroom as soon as he gets home so she ran and stood in front of the door.
Lai: Five bucks!
Justin: What? Five bucks?
Lai: In REAL MONEY !
Justin: What?! Do you take credit?
Lai: Nope! Only REAL money !
Justin: I'll give you real money, in tickle money ! *Starts tickling her*
Lai: Now you owe FOUR, SEVENTY BUCKS!
Me: Hun, you shouldn't have tickled her, she's upping the price!
Lai: Okay, I'll go to SEVENTY BUCKS, That's it !
 Justin: Jeeze this kid should be a tax collector! LOL


So, I just want to tell everyone how blessed I am to have such a perfect little girl.
The other day she said something that really hurt my feelings. She knew it hurt my feelings too and when she realized it - she just walked out and went into the other room.
So later on... about 15 mins later she came back in and laid on me, hugging me. I told her my feelings were hurt from the things she said to me.
She apologized saying, "I'm sorry" - in a very concerned voice.
I told her how her words made me feel and how words can hurt people.
She told me that she didn't mean it and I told her that I know that but that the words still hurt.
We had a personal conversation about the situation (Which I won't get into). I explained to her my feelings and I asked her about her own feelings so that we could clear it all up and come to a mutual understanding.
When we finished, she apologized again in a very sincere manner.
I then told her how much I love her and how much she means to me and that I can't imagine my life without her in it. That even when she's at her Memere and Papas on weekends I miss her and I feel lost without her because I love her SO much.
 She finished it off by hugging me hard and said, "Mommy I love you SOOO much, I love you wholeeee bunches !"
And my heart melted. I said, "I love you MORE !" and she said, "Well, I love you the MOST !" And we hugged it out.
How on Earth did I get blessed with this amazing, understanding, empathetic, bright, beautiful little girl?!



I was just finished reading Lailah her bedtime story when she started whining about having to go to bed. So I said, 'My name is Lailah and I giggle giggle, laugh laugh, and then whineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Do you want some cheese to go with that whine !!??!' All while tickling her.
So she goes, are you saying wine like - the drink?
I said, surprised that she got the whine/wine difference in how it was said, 'Yeah, because that's what you're doing, whinnningggggg.'
And so she comes back with, 'You go to the bar to do that !!'
Me : Lai can you go get me a plastic bag?
Lai: of course Me: you know where they are right?
Lai: I live in this house! How would you expect me to not even know where they are?!



So leaving my moms house Lailah was mad at me for having to leave, even though we been there since noon. So she storms off and I was right behind her and she opens the gate - walks through it, then shuts it on me with a grin on her face thinking her attitude is cute.
She then gets in the car huffing and puffing and slams the door.
So when I got in the car I say simply, 'Bed'. She starts wailing, "NOOOOOO!!! I don't want to go to bed!" x10 Then switching it to, "I don't want to go to beddd!" x10
Then I told her she could whine all she wanted but that her consequence wasn't going to change.
So she then changed it to, "But I don't want to go to bed though!!" x10 times. By then we got home and went into the house.
She went over, threw herself onto her bed without me mentioning it, and passed out in under 5 minutes.



To Justin about the baby:
"If it's a girl - I will change it. But if it's a boy - don't plan on me changing it!"
LOL ! She actually said this. "don't plan on it"


LOL Lailah - "I need to learn my letters quick. Because soon BOOM, I'm going to be going to school!"



I have the sweetest, most thoughtful little girl, ever. So, Lailah and I were having a conversation about life and stuff, what she likes to do most out of the things that we do, what else she would like, or things she really doesn't care for much and could change or get rid of.
Then she said, "What I would really like is for us to get our own home so that we aren't all squished together and you'd have more room to put your things and me to put my toys."
So I thoughts about it feeling guilty and kind of sad and responded, "Mommy's working towards that but it costs a lot of money to do that right now. Mommy works but she doesn't make that much money right now. She's finishing school to make more money."
So she responded, "Well, then what if you just brought me to the park and that's it? You don't have to take me to a whole bunch of other places.. just the park and that's it. Then that way, you could save some money and we could get that house?"
Willing to sacrifice all the things that we do that requires money. Even though she really enjoys them. If we could all just remember what it's like to be a child again.



Lailah was sleeping in the car when all of a sudden in her sleep she said, "I'm behind the phone." I asked Justin what she said and he repeated it.
Then she woke up and I asked her if she knew what she said.. she said
"I was behind the phone.. taking pictures."
I asked her, "where?"
She replied, "In my sleep." LOL !!!!


 Lai : Why are you watching this again?
Me : Cuz I miss Bennett.
Lai : I want to watch it too with you ! *watching and we see the first ultrasound pic of Bennett*
Lai : Pause it !!! *I pause the video on the ultrasound photo*
Lai : Now tell me.. where is his head and everything?
Me : Well, this is his head and his belly, then his little hands, he doesn't really have feet yet or much developed at this point..
Lai : WHAT !!! That means you have to ALWAYS hold him, if he doesn't have feets !
Me : Well, he was in my belly still, he was only this big *uses fingers to show a couple inches*.
Lai : WHAT? Well, where did his feet come from?
Me : I made them... in my belly, I helped them grow, inside of me.
Lai : WHAT?!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE BABIES INSIDE OF YOU!!
Me : yeah, I do... where do you think you came from? Daddy and I made you a long time ago and I let you grow in my belly.
Lai : NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT ! You can NOT make babies inside of your belly ! Nobody does that.....
