Conversations with Julia

photos in response to, "can you put your hands on your hips?"


Sebastian: disobeys me/disobeys her
Julia: "No sweetheart!!!! No!!!!"

Simon: "I have to go to work now"
Julia: "oh, you need to go eat french frize?"

Grace: "do you want to go use your potty?
Julia: (marches into bathroom) "I need a book, please."

Grace: "are you done using the potty?
Julia: "no, I not done, Grace."

Grace: (tries to get Theo to take a pacifier while he was crying in the car and veered onto the side of the interstate hitting the noise-making divots)
Julia: (laughs) "Grace had a gas!"

Julia: "what show is this?"
Grace: "the Oscars"
Julia: "no, its a circus."

Indeed.

  2. How I love it when a little one calls her parent by her first name! Cracks me up every time.
    The photos are so cute. Never would have thought to put a belt on my daughter when she was little. Or ever. She's going to be 13 in a few days and I've never given her a belt. Seeing these, I totally should have.

  3. "A circus." So wise. If she keeps up the Grace thing then all your kids will call you that like Atticus on To Kill a Mockingbird. :)

  4. Oh my goodness, thank you, Julia, for starting my day off with a laugh. The "French frize" is my favorite. And the gas one. Okay, all of them.

  7. Zelie's response: "I LOVE that ballerina!" I so hope they get to meet in April. Can you even imagine how hysterical that would be?

  10. She started calling you Grace. That's going to be so much fun to try and eradicate. But I think my fave is that she calls Bash 'sweetheart.' Classic.

  14. I love that she calls you Grace. My boys both went through a good chunk of time calling me Kayla. It felt super awkward at the store around the old ladies, for some reason. Like they were judging me for being one of those newfangled progressive moms who lets their kids call them by their first name.

  15. Isn't it so funny (and so wrong!) when they start trying to use first names?! Hanna said to me the other day, "Where is Joe?" Me: "Who is Joe?" Hanna, exasperated, "You know, that man you married!"

  16. You know I am a big J. fan, so thanks for this. Much funnier than hair burning girl!

    Photo 1= cutest pose ever. That she thinks those are her hips only makes it CUTER.

    And I was absolutely shocked when child #1 wanted to know my first name. Now I just answer whenever #3 calls me "Jeannine." It's pretty cute.

  20. She is sooo cute! The "french frize" one is my favorite. It's funny what toddlers think their parents do when they have to go to work. :)

  21. Oh how I love this sweet child. She has her mother's sense of style AND humor I might add. When I go to work I eat french frize too!! And yes the Oscars were a circus! LOL!

  22. I always read the conversations with julia aloud to my officemate at work... we both get a good chuckle! We especially like the pictures today... maybe you need to try the "head, shoulders, knees, and toes... and hips!" song with J?
