Jhett and Bree

Friday afternoon I babysat Jhett for a few hours while Jess worked. Mom and I picked up Bree in the afternoon and took her to the carousel. She turns 3 in November and is one smart cookie. She chattered the whole way there.
She said, "Auntie Kari, my mommy told me red in Spanish is roco."
"Rojo," I corrected.
Then she said, "Auntie Kari, my mommy told me green is verde."
I told her that blue in Spanish is azul. She said, "Auntie Kari, you're kiddin' me!" I told her I was not kidding and she said "Auntie Kari you are sooo silly!"
She was excited about the carousel and kept talking about "riding horseys". We explained to her that they weren't real horseys, though. While we were waiting for "Grandma Karen" to get tokens, Bree asked where the potty was. I asked if she had to go and she said, "No, for the horseys." Apparently the "they aren't real" conversation didn't quite sink in. Bree got two rides. She picked the orange tiger for the first ride and I went to stand beside her. After one revolution she says to me, "This is fuuun! I am sooo happy!" She went on the green frog for the second ride with Mom. Jhett had fun watching the carousel go 'round and 'round while Bree laughed and waved. As it was mid-afternoon and very hot by the time we were done with the carousel, we stopped for some icecream. Bree got chocolate with M&Ms, her idea.
