upon a moment of mama-desperation where i let the kids each choose a pez candy dispenser at the store under the condition they stay in their stroller seats and obey mama (lol), eleanor picked out the sponge bob square pants pez dispenser. she has no idea who sponge bob is and referred to him as “such a silly little piece of cheese!” all weekend we have been cracking up when she pulls out her “talking cheese” toy to play with.
after giving me the biggest kiss and hug last sunday morning, “happy father’s day, mama!”
as i was trying to cut off the tag on a piece of her clothing, she said, “mama, you can’t cut off the tag! it’s a story.”
eleanor and samson were hiding under the kitchen table when i heard eleanor tell samson, “no no, this is not africa! this is a barn!”
“i’m a doctor, and he’s an assistant (pointing over to samson), and you can be a bigger doctor.”
“mama, after i get big and marry in the temple can i shave my legs like you?”
“why?” (her new question after anything we say over and over, which i absolutely love, and other times i want to love but you know….)
“we did lots of things and we did nothing.”
eleanor: “mama, close your eyes.” me: “why?” eleanor: “i have to get something out of your eyelash.” me: “oh thank you…. what was it?” eleanor: “it was just a pretend something. and it wasn’t real!”
during lunch at the table one afternoon, “mama, can we talk about don?” me: “don? don who??” eleanor: “granddad!”
i say this too much, but three year olds, man. this is where it’s at. more eleanorisms here.
Phoebe right now says “why not?” when I tell her no. It’s the cutest at least for now.
Here’s our latest!

Oh how she cracks me up! I totally agree with you, this 3 year old stage is the best! Now time to get your pregnant belly to bed. Why are you still up at this hour in NY? Hope you’re enjoying these first days of summer. Love from Tilly, all the way in Australia :) xx
“such a silly little piece of cheese!”
“mama, you can’t cut off the tag! it’s a story.”
“mama, after i get big and marry in the temple can i shave my legs like you?”
These were my personal favourites! I totally agree with you; 3-5 year olds come up with the best quotes ;)

Haha cute girl! Wait till she grows older… Her conversations will get even more hilarious. My son is 6 and he says the funniest things! I can’t wait for him to talk to his baby brother soon. ;)

HAHAHA! She’s too cute! “…Can I shave my legs” still cracks me up!!
I don’t think i’ll ever be able to see a sponge bob square pants without thinking about Eleanor calling him a silly piece of talking cheese. So cute. And also, he does look like cheese now that she mentions it!
Have a good week!
So cute as always!

Toocute!
Eleanor is too cute! Seriously, she cracks me up!
Sooooo cute! ♥
Too funny! These Eleanorisms crack me up! The other day, my five-year-old sister said to me, “when I grow up I want to be a veterinarian….just kidding! I want to be an apple!” I just about died! It doesn’t end with these little ones.

so good. i can’t wait until my little guy is able to talk. he’s 15 months now, and 3 years old seems to far away.
ps. i think it was here that you suggested the “baby signing time” dvds, and i tell you what — he loves them! he communicates pretty well with the signs that he’s learned. it’s so much fun watching him learn to ask for things and communicate before he’s verbal. and i’ve got you to thank for making me aware of the dvds. they’re great!
I’m cracking up over the “silly little piece of cheese”! She seriously could not be any cuter!
“we did lots of things and we did nothing.”
E, you understand how my life is! haha
This is so adorable!

aaah, Eleanorisms is my favourite thing here! :) Little E. rocks!
oh, and the ‘why?’ phase- yep, I think all kids go through that, it’s both endearing and annoying somehow.
LOL at the shaving the legs one! When I was little, probably E’s age, I asked my mom if I could use “timptoms” like her when I grew up. Tampons. Hahahaha! Kids are the best.
The girl has got her priorities straight. Temple marriage and shaved legs. What a doll, and so funny!
This made me laugh out loud! She is hilarious!

“Such a silly little piece of cheese!” hahaha
I love that the tag is a story to her. Kids take nothing for granted. :) Funny, my daughter just picked out the SpongeBob pez dispenser too!

“We did lots of things and we did nothing.” Sweet poetry, E. stay smart and sensitive.
Hi, I love reading these eleanorism’s. I myself am a Eleanor and I believe I have been much the same with the things I said as a child and growing up. Its just such a joy to reach, Thank you so much for sharing them with us and what a treasure they are to keep and look back over with Eleanor when she’s older and laugh about :)
God Bless

Oh man, she’s adorable. Kids have such great imaginations. I love the things they come up with.
“we did lots of things and we did nothing.” sounds like dialogue from a french new wave film. LOVE it!
