Funny and Smart Things My 4 Year Old Has Said Rece...

My youngest youngster and solely daughter, Florence, is 4 and a pair of months previous ‘occurring’ a minimum of 14 and I take pleasure in documenting the humorous and sensible issues she says for posterity. I typically return to related posts I wrote about her older brothers who at the moment are 13 and 16. For those who’re new right here, welcome to my weblog aka household archive aka a fodder for speeches on my children’ 21sts/ marriage ceremony days! I really like the best way her thoughts works!

This morning, Florence mentioned the under and I’m nonetheless laughing about it now! 

“Mummy, I put a bathroom roll in my bed room so we will do sneezes”. 

After I had learn her 3 bedtime tales: Superworm, Tiddler and Tabby McTatt adopted by 2 invented by me, it was time for Florence to sleep so I began to play a sport on my cellphone. She rapidly sat up and crossly mentioned, “Can you place your cellphone away, it’s a distraction”! Sure sir! 

my make up, she mentioned, “Ooh that’s a reasonably gold eyeshadow palette”. I didn’t even know she knew that phrase. I really feel like she’s a whole sponge and every little thing I say is absorbed and utilized in context. Intelligent lady! 

She did additionally say after we watched Zootropolis: fringe of your seat journey, not as emotive as the primary and slightly too convoluted for my liking (the field workplace figures clearly don’t agree with me), “That is my cinema, Mummy, the boys (which means her brothers) usually are not allowed, OK”. Once we returned to the Everyman final evening as a household for dinner, she did remind me I used to be breaking her ‘solely ladies allowed’ rule! Effectively the boys, now youngsters could be moody so I can’t blame her!

Final however not least, ever the fashionista, Florence requested me to search out her some white cowgirl boots like my very own on Vinted and we discovered the sweetest little replicas (as near mine as doable though I’m undecided they’re leather-based) with a teeny heel (I couldn’t discover any flat ones which have been my choice for her) and a few rainbow colored stitching in summary designs of wings and flowers on them.

She’s been clomping round in them since we opened the parcel which arrived together with a bunch of clothes she’d additionally chosen, most in shiny pink, yellow and peach and white floral frocks by Dolly Wears (one among our faves), Subsequent and Primark.

I really like that she’s already certain about her model and is aware of what she likes and most of all that she desires to twin with me. She’s positively my Mini Me!

Which additionally consists of stealing my equipment.

The picture above of her in my Gucci scarf (one other model new, pre owned discover from Vinted) and my new Subsequent woollen hat she insisted on carrying on a stroll lately made me snort! She paired it with a good looking John Lewis Heritage coat my buddy kindly handed on to her, her daughter had solely worn a number of instances and had grown out of. She appears iconic, hehehe! 

I am keen on vogue however fear concerning the atmosphere influence of the clothes business so prioritise second hand gadgets and charity store finds the place doable and I’m instructing my children that too. Florence can’t even stroll previous a charity store now with out suggesting, “We take a look at the garments and toys”! Def my Mini Me!!!
