Mallory, Miscellaneous

Stuff to remember

December 3, 2008

Leaving daycare today, we were already in the car – Mallory yelled “BYE AL-SON (Allison)!!!!  BYE FWENDS (friends)!!!!!  BYE DEMI!!!!!!!  BYE MEHWEEEEE (Mary)!!!!!” (Demi & Mary are two of the teachers).
Whenever it’s time to eat, Mallory tells me “eat time!”

She says milky, juicy, and some other things that I can’t think of right now.
