Literacy DUPLO play scape designed by Mike
Lily: Mama, I like you! I like Dada, Emma, and Johnny. And Legos. I LOVE Legos!
After being given two gummy bears as a reward:
Lily: But Mama! I wanted ONE gummy bear!
Mama: Oh, ok. Do you want to give the other one back?
Lily. Yes!
She returned the other gummy bear.
Lily, after a long monologue about polar bears, aliens, and other random topics:
And I have a mouth. Because I talk.
Overheard during a game:
Johnny: Do you want to go on a space ship?
Emma: Yes!
Johnny: Okay, then I have to get my foot phone (holds foot to ear) Hello?

Every time you post your kids comments, I think that I am going to start recording the adorable things my kids do….if I keep procrastinating they will be married by the time I start! Thanks for the great example!
Very cute. I need a foot phone, too.
So cute and funny! I’m impressed she gave the gummy bear back! Nice lego design!!
My favorite hands down is Lily, ‘because I have a mouth’. She is too smart, Mary Anne! Your kids are the best!
I remember when Joe used to make those duplo word scenes. He actually has a small Lego one in his room now that is a ‘name plate’ on the top of his bookshelf.
I hope you are having a good week. I just think you are the best, Mary Anne!
LOL about the Gummy Bear. That’s funny!
She’s a fun kid =)
I don’t think either of my kids have ever given a piece of candy back when I gave them the wrong amount! Too cute!
That is so cute! Kids say the funniest things.
Lily would make a great Lego spokesperson. Great quotes!
She definitely talks enough to be a spokesperson =)
Ha Ha! The things kids come up with…foot phone, that’s priceless. All the quotes are adorable!
The foot phone one is my favorite! Where do they come up with this stuff???
Too, too funny!!! Love them all, and I can just see Johnny on his foot-phone. :)
He had me laughing all night over that one! I still grin every time I think about it. Kids are wonderful!
How wonderful. Every so often I try to write down all the questions and comments that come my way and I haven’t done it in ages. You have given me just the motivation that I needed! I wonder if we have a foot phone around here?
Ha ha, Princess has said something similar after a long monologue.
I bet Lily and Princess would get along =)
Oh too cute!!!
So funny that Lily only wanted ONE gummy bear. :-) I love the picture–in all the many years I spent playing with Duplos, I never thought of making words out of them.
This is one time where NOT growing up with Duplos may have worked to Mike’s advantage ;)
These quotes make me laugh. Lily’s comment makes me think of an advertisment for lego.
A foot phone – the things they think of sure do keep us mummy’s smiling and laughing.
The foot phone makes me grin every time I think of it =)
They’re so funny, they should have their own talk show! I like what they did with the Lego blocks :)
I think Lily is the only two year old who does not have a monotonically increasing utility function with respect to gummy bears.
She knows what she wants =)
