"What, Mama???"

"And you shall all listen to me, princess Iyla!"

Iyla is really loving her new dance class. It is beyond amusing to watch them...

isms...

Some recent funnies:

Iyla: Me: "Goodnight Iyla, I love you." Iyla: "Goodnight Mama, you will always be my baby..."

Nya: "Guess what Leila just said?" Me: "What did she say?" Nya: "She just said 'Boo ya', she is soooooo your baby!"

Iyla: "Mama, can you get me something?" Me: "Sure, what do you want me to get for you?" Iyla: "Something magical and cool!"

Nya:(while watching Nya play 'Just Dance' on the wii) Me: "Nya, you are so good at this game!" Nya: "yay, I think it is because I have such a great bootie. It is perfect for shaking!"

I'm a littler nervous about that last one, but it was sooooooooooooo funny!
