Xiane Said
Having a three year old is tough, as she’s starting to assert her independence and starting to speak her own mind. She starts asking questions about almost anything and everything, sometimes giving her answers can really be a challenge. For her age, Xiane definitely expresses herself very well. Sometimes she surprises us with things that she says, that we often ask “where did she get that?” There are times when she wouldn’t stop talking and you just wish that she would keep quiet even just for a short while. But through it all, it is still such a delight to talk to her. Here are a few conversations with Xiane.
Mom: God did! You took it from your dad’s side of the family. (I explained to her that everyone in her dad’s family have curly hair.)
Xiane: Everyone! Oh my God!
Xiane: Mom somebody broke my cup!
Mom: I’m sorry I was the one who broke it.
Xiane: Why did you break it mom!
Xiane: Mom who gave my hair, curls?
Mom: God did! You took it from your dad’s side of the family. (I explained to her that everyone in her dad’s family have curly hair.)
Xiane: Everyone! Oh my God!
Whenever her dad pins her down the bed, as if wrestling with her she starts saying “I don’t want to be stuck!”
Xiane is holding something and suddenly drops it, she’ll say: “Oh man!” (an expression she got from Swiper the Fox in Dora the Explorer)
When she wants something real bad, like watching dvd, she’d approach you and say: “Can I please watch mom, please, please.” (saying it with a very cute expression on her face that you couldn’t say no to)
When she does something bad that makes us angry she would say: “I’m sorry mom, I will never do it again.”
When she unintentionally makes a mistake, like pressing the wrong key her leap pad she would say: “Ooops sorry, I made a mistake.”
Whenever she’s hungry: “Mom I want to eat, I’m so hungry!”
When she sees her Lolo (granddad) smoking she would say: “Don’t talk to me Lolo, I’m angry, you’re smoking!”
She sees me putting make up: “Mom you’re beautiful!” I just love it when she says this!
She sees me, her mom trying on clothes: “Mom, you’re sexy like Fergie (Black Eyed Peas).” I love this one even more!
Xiane is holding a cracked/broken plastic cup that she uses when she brushes her teeth.
Xiane: Mom somebody broke my cup!
Mom: I’m sorry I was the one who broke it.
Xiane: Why did you break it mom!
When we ask her to do something but she’s lazy to do it she’ll say: “I can’t do it mom, I’m just a baby. When I grow up ok?”
But if she wants to do something and you’re helping her but doesn’t want your help, she’ll say: “Mom I’ll do it by myself, I’m a big girl now.”
Xiane loves singing. When you sing along with her, she’ll tell you “No only me, don’t copy me!”
