For the last few days, Roxie has been wearing her white dress with the fairy wings and has been insisting that she is Tinkerbell, the sugarplum fairy princess.
Today, she was playing with "Uncle Map" and started calling for help on behalf of some of her toy ponies. I suggested that maybe Tinkerbell the sugarplum fairy princess could help. Roxie explained to me: "No, her can't come. Her has a 'pointment. Her at the dentist."

Jessica, master namer
Jessica comes up with the best names for things. Here are a few off the top of my head. I will try to add to this list as I think of more.
Popo/Daddydoodle/Doodle/Deedle/Diddle - me
Mommy Moomoo - Amy
Baby Bashoo - Phoebe
Baby Dingus/Dingsasu/Gingus/Gingasu - Roxie
Wiggerpip - a small house or hut.

It's your birthday!
At some point, the girls devised a rule whereby I was only allowed to play guitar if it was my birthday. A common scene in our house is me sitting on the couch trying to play guitar, and either Phoebe or Roxie coming up, muting my strings, and telling me: "No daddy! It's not your birthday."
Occasionally (but definitely more often than once a year) Phoebe will tell me: "You can play your guitar daddy. It's your birthday!"
Today, I told her I wanted to play guitar and asked her when it would be my birthday again. She answered that it was my birthday today and tomorrow.

The stink is on the other lala
The other day I turned the whole stinked lala thing around on Roxie.
Me: Why did you stink my lala the other time while I was 'leeping?
Roxie: I was mad at you because you took my lala.
Me: So you stinked my lala?
Roxie: Yes.
Me: How did you stink it?
Roxie: I sat on it and I made a skunk smell.

The Big Boom
Phoebe has been interested in science lately. I was explaining that no one knew what happened before the big bang. At that point, she became even more animated than she already was:
"Oooh! Oooh! I know what happened! At the bottom of everything there was a big grumbling. And then it cracked, and pieces falled off. Then it exploded! And that was the big boom."
