The Queen

One of my favorite things about having a 3 year old is the hilarious conversations.  I truly NEVER know what Katie will say next.  A couple fun stories from the last couple weeks are below.

First One
Papa calls Katie "Queen Kathleen" or just "The Queen" for short. 

Katie:   "Mommy, Papa says I'm a Queen." 
Me:      "Yes, you are his Queen Kathleen." 
Katie:   "Since I'm a Queen, I think I need my own castle."
Me:      "What kind of castle?"
Katie:   "I think that should be our next project.  We need to build me a castle."
Me:      "Okay, we will make that our next project."

I guess I'll need a really big cardboard box in order to make our Queen a Castle.  Papa, since you gave her the nickname, I'm putting that on your assignment list. 

Second One:
Katie is sometimes resistant to washing her hands after she uses the potty.  She also forgets to say "please" when asking for things.

Katie (right after using the potty):     "Mommy, can I have some more teddy grahams?"
Daddy:     "Katie, you can't have any food until you wash your hands."
Katie:       "Now Daddy, you didn't say please.  So, I'm not going to wash my hands until you can ask me
                 nicely with a PLEASE."
Daddy:     "Katie, Will you please go wash your hands?"
Katie:       "Well of course I will, now that you said please."

She's a sassy little thing some days.  Wonder where she gets that from?!?!  :-)
