The title of this post should technically be "Conversations with an almost 3 year old" but for consistency purposes, it's not.  As Sydney approaches 3 years old, her conversations and vocabulary are becoming more complex, and we are starting to hear back some familiar colloquialisms, which make us giggle. "Just 2 more minutes, then I'll come eat dinner" "I'll be back in 1 minute, stay on the couch, ok?" "I'm going to go hang out with my brother now" Our peanut is obsessed with pink.

Sydney: "Moon sleeping?" Me: "No, I think it's just behind the clouds today" Sydney: "Moon is hiding.  Sun goes night night, moon come out" Helping Dada throw bocce ball Me: "Sydney, can you pick out a book to read tonight?"

Me "No, I just see dark clouds" Sydney "Dark clouds.  Are they sleeping?" ...

Sydney: "MarMe and Grandpa Billy's " Matching shirt with Dada Sydney is sitting at the dinner table  Me: "Sydney, what's missing?" She isn't sure  Me: "your food is missing " I set down her dinner and leave the room  Sydney: "Mama's missing. Mama's missing "   So many necklaces   Brian gets home from work and Sydn...
