Dory today.

So Dory came to wake me up this morning and arrived at my bed wearing a size 0-3month sleeper gown, you know, the ones that look like onesies at the top but go past their toes to a large hole for easy diaper access... yeah, she was WEARING it!!! So, anyway, I decided to ignore this portion of our program because I didn't have it in me to tell her that she couldn't wear it. Apparently my ignoring this glaring fact was NOT a part of HER program. As soon as she realized that I was not going to comment on it she proceeded to tell me how the conversation should have gone:

(All her)

You say, "Dory Grace!"
I say, "What mommy?"
You say, "That's Jacks!"
I say, "But I want to wear it."
You say, "No honey, you can't, it's too little for you."
I say, "No, it's not!"

At which point I just started laughing at her amazing ability of planning and insight. The cunning little girl had planned this ploy for attention even before John and I were up this morning. Amazes me to no end. And makes me feel bad that I haven't been able to give her enough attention that she is already foreplanning like this.

Edited to add:
even better...
She knows that saying prayers means bedtime and that I or John will very shortly be leaving the room. So, tonight when I suggested saying prayers she said, as always, "no mommy, no prayers". I went ahead and started anyway and then she said, "No Mommy, we can't talk to God. He's not home. Nope, uh uh, he's not. God's not home." I stopped and explained to her again how God is always there and is always with us and she said, "Nope, we can't talk to God right now." How's that for a not going to go to bed ploy? I think we need to move night time prayers to another segment of the program...
