Some things Violet has said lately:
The other night, Violet and I were watching "White Christmas." There is a part where Bing Crosby is on the TV asking his war buddies to come to Vermont. Violet said, "I know why that TV is gray. Because It's cold."
Violet has a new job to water my house plants on Fridays. She was watering one and said, "Mommie, is it OK if this water is warm?"
"Yes," I said.
"This warm water will help the plant relax."
One day Violet said, "That's so gay."
"Violet, you shouldn't say that. What do you mean?" I said.
"I don't mean two boys who are dating....I mean the other thing it means," she says.
"You mean, "gay" like "happy?" I ask.
"Yeah, yeah...that is what I mean."
One day Violet said, "I know why Cy is moving to New York."
"Why?" I asked.
"To find a wife." She said.
"NO, I don't think he is trying to find a wife," I said.
"Why? Because he's gay?" She asked.
"No, I think he really likes women."
"No, I know he has some boyfriends." Violet insists.
"He has some friends that are boys, " I say.
"Yeah and he likes them, " she says.
"Yeah, but he doesn't like-em, like-em," I reply.
We think Violet might be allergic to wheat. One day she said to someone, "I'm allergic to wheat. I can't have beer. Only wine."
Also, a sleep update: We took Violet to a sleep specialist. The MD put her on a sleep restriction plan. She is now sleeping through the night pretty consistantly for the first time EVER. She has slept throught he night at least 7 times and goes to sleep much easier. It's been great.
This Christmas Violet wants, and is getting: A styling head, make-up, a dress up dress and 2 My Little Ponies. She wanted one of those power-wheels, but we vetoed that.
