Instead of saying top or bottom Kaia says up and down. For example, "Mommy, I buckled the up and the down [buckles] on my car seat!" It's too cute to correct.
In a very adult manner, Kaia says things like, "The apples are all gone now, but they are not all gone," and "I need to take a bath, but I do not need to take a bath." The first part is usually what she means, so I'm not sure if it's her stubborn persona still needing a voice (or what?) but it makes me laugh.
When Kaia does NOT want to do something she says, "I can't. My leg hurts!" We think her leg really did hurt for a few days. Months ago. But she is still trying to use it. Smart girl.
When Kaia is not able to do something she says, "I can't... I'm not 5, I'm 2." For example, "I can't reach it! I'm not 5, I'm 2!" or "Come wipe my poopy! I'm not 5, I'm 2!" She sees her 5-year-old sister as being able to do anything and everything, poor girl.
