Mallory: “Mom, what time is it?”
Me: “10.46.”
M: “Hmm. That’s weird. 10.46? That’s really weird.”

Mallory saw me holding Cameron one afternoon at the pool and immediately her baby radar picked up on it. “Mom! Can I hold baby Cameron?” I told her that later, after she got out of the pool, that she could hold the baby. That night at dinner, Mallory went over to my sister. “Um, Aunt Emily? Um, can tomorrow, um, can I hold…?” Emily interrupted her and said “do you want to hold him right now?” Mallory was in heaven.

Her cousin Lauren is a speed-pee-er. Like she is in & out of the toilet before I even sit down on my toilet. Being a speed pee-er would be fine if it didn’t make you have to go potty every 15 minutes. So my mom was trying to tell Lauren to make sure she totally emptied her bladder when she went potty.
One night in the bathroom, I reminded Lauren to make sure she emptied her bladder. Meanwhile, my daughter is the total opposite; she’ll sit on the toilet forever if you don’t move her along. So I told Mallory to hurry up and she said “Hold on mom, I’m emptying my poop bladren (bladder)”.

I need to add these to Mallory’s “Mallorian” page (and create one for Carson), but I’ll share here too: our whole vacation, she called Sprite “Strike”.
