Riley-isms

This girl....She keeps me on my toes.
A few nights ago, I heard Riley tossing and turning in her bed for more than an hour, muttering to herself that she "just didn't know", and "just couldn't remember".
Finally, I went in and asked if there was something on her mind.
She turned on her side, looked at me very seriously, and said "Mama, I just can't remember."
"Can't remember what?" I asked, trying to figure out what could be so important that it was keeping her from falling asleep.
"I just can't remember...what it was that Peter Piper Picked?!"
"Uh....you mean... a Peck of Pickled Peppers?" I replied, shocked that this is what had kept her up.
"Oh, yes! That's it. Thanks, Mom!"
And she rolled over and fell right to sleep.

Last night, Riley asked me where we could buy a Daddy that could go to church with us on "Church Days" and a little sister who we could name Olive.

I told her we'd look at Costco tomorrow.

If only it were that easy, huh?

(I have no idea where she came up with the name 'Olive' but I actually really dig it.)
