Moment #1
Franki: Mommee, would you get me bebe (her bear)?
Mommee: why can't you get it? if you want him, you should go and get him.
Franki: i can't.
Mommee: why not?
Franki: my legs are brwoken.


Moment #2
Vince and Franki each played with a jump rope on the floor. Franki decided she wanted Vince's as well. House rule: no taking toys from others. if toy is left on the floor and unattended, then it's fair game. but if to protect some one from injury, the toy may be taken from the potential victim...

Franki walked over to vince while vince was dangling his jump rope on his arm and said: no vince, don't do that. it will cut off your circulation (pronounced perfectly).
...pause...
Franki: here, i will protect you.
then she proceeded to take the jump rope off vince's arm and walked away with it.

when i met dave, one thing was real obvious to me...he's got a mind for trivia. he'll remember dialogues from movies, musician with the specific songs (lots and lots), etc.

now, @ 3.5 years old, franki is his protege...dave was reciting some lines from Bolt:

Daddee: wait for it....
Franki: Aliens
Franki: Hoh snap. audiences love aliens
daddee: you can't touch us

This is one of many instances that she'd finish his sentences...or any saying...

Daddee: vincent, will you please move your big giant
Franki: melon

Daddee: Mommee, don't
Franki: hurt yurseff

and on and on... :o) sooo entertaining...

Being the party animals that we are, we had the huge all out partying and staying up late, past 10pm...yeah!!!

Below illustrates the evidence of a late night party :o) LOL...

Another family photo :o) WOOOHOOO

Mommee was playing with the kids at home (it's a tough job but hey...someone's gotta do it :o)). This time, it's pushing them on a tonka truck. after some laps around the house, mommee exclaimed:

Mommee breathing heavily (for all the wrong reasons): oih! i'm outa shape...need...to...take...a...breather...time...outttt...
Franki: are yoo ok mommee?
Mommee: yup. just...need...some...time...to...recharge...mommee's way way outa shape...sad...very sad indeed...
Franki ran off, then came back with some plastic triangles, circles, squares, and a star. handed them to me and said: hew yoo go mommee. yoo have more shapes now. yoo can push me again.

Franki has mastered the alphabets at least 6 months ago, but she recently became zealous at spelling out everything she sees...while in the car, she saw the starbucks sign, so...

Franki: S T A R B U C K S spells Iced Venti Decaf Mocha With Whip Please

At home, she was looking at the remote control and it's logo...
