Dinosaurs

Isabella: Mommy, why do we have to go home now? I don't want to go home yet.

Mommy: Because it is late and getting dark outside.

Isabella: Oh, and the dinosaurs will come out to get us?

Mommy: (thinking I need to explain to Issey about dinosaurs) Well Isabella, let me tell you something about dinosaurs. They are extinct... They once roamed the earth millions of years ago but due to the glaciers, they all died and are now extinct.

Isabella: (paused... you could hear her thinking in her head) They are stinky and dirty?

Mommy: No, they are extinct... That means they are no longer around.

Isabella: Oh, that is silly mommy.

Snoring Daddy

Isabella and Mommy had a conversation today and it went something like this:

Issey: Mommy, can I sleep with you?
Mommy: No baby, you sleep with Daddy cause Mommy has to sleep with Baby Gabriel.
Issey: But I don't want to sleep with Daddy.
Mommy: Why? Daddy loves you.
Issey: I know, but Daddy wakes me up at night... he goes "grrrr, grrr, grrr" (making snoring noises) and wakes me up.
Mommy: (laughs hysterically) Oh... you mean he snores loud at night and the noise wakes you up?
Issey: Yeah.

Well, we've decided Issey will need her own bed and start sleeping on her own.
