Bug lost a shoe at the beach the other day. We had walked a couple of blocks uphill away from the beach by the time we realized it was missing (she was sitting in the jog stroller), so I waited with the kids while Brenda went back down to look for the shoe. Annalie and Bug were having a fantastic talk about their wishes, mainly involving wanting the world to be made of delicious foods, so I scrambled for my camera and took a couple of short videos. They’re upside-down because I was trying not to interrupt the flow of their hilarious conversation.

Sadly, I missed taping the part where Bug was wishing the whole world were made of candy. Annalie informed her that if the world were made of candy, then she’d have to go to the dentist a lot. “Why?” Bug wanted to know.

“Because if you ate all that candy, then you’d get lots of cavities,” Annalie informed her.

Bug thought about that for a minute. “But I wouldn’t eat a LOT of candy every day, I would just eat ONE piece.”

“Then you should just wish for one special piece of candy every day,” Annalie advised her. “That way you’d enjoy it more.”

“Yeah,” Bug immediately agreed. “You’re right. I would just wish for one special piece every day.”

*Pah is Bug’s word for pacifier. She has pretty much stopped using pahs, but she remembers them fondly.

    “…so I CAN SUCK ON THEM” HAHAHAHA I’m digging the idea of a whip cream world. Sounds good to me!

    Something tells me that an afternoon of cloud gazing would be hysterical with these two.

    This is absolutely precious – it’s so great that you were able to catch some of it on video. Too often I find by the time I turn on the camera, my son is already done doing whatever it was that is so cute, and is ready to behave as badly as possible for posterity.

    This is adorable. My son loved his bobby (pacifier) and was so sad when we made him stop using one. He actually slept with a photo of himself with one for a month or so after we took the last one away.

  6. Annalie is going to be a great big sister.

    I think my son is going to call his “buh”.

    I love when you do videos. I get to hear everyone’s voices again.

    Lying on Mom’s lap talking about whipped cream. Ah, childhood is such a good time!

    It was quite a shock to hear all those words coming from Bug – I think the last time I heard her speak she was just saying her name and that was it. Suddenly SAJ’s reports of a chatterbug make sense!
