During a nap strike ...
Julia: dials pretend phone to call fictitious friend Hi, Chrissy?
Grace:
Julia: stares at Grace yeah, well.
Grace:
Julia: no, I can't come over because it's just that my mom hates fun

During another nap strike and to the tune of Frozen's Let it Go:
Julia: softly Let me goo-o-o-o-oO-o-o-o
Grace:
Julia: louder Let me GooOoOOOooOO
Grace:
Julia: a lot a bit louder Let me and my blankie G-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Grace:

After I found Sebastian laying on the ground with Julia standing over him with a random assortment of toys in a pile next to them ...
Grace: what are you two doing?
Julia: oh! Just giving Sebastian a c-section

 
After finding Julia's eyelids and forehead covered in black smudges ...
Grace: are you playing with my mascara?
Julia: oh no, I amn't
Grace:
Julia: I was just giving my eyes some mustaches

Out of the blue ...
Julia: So, I was thinking you could maybe lay an egg
Grace: okay?
Julia: yeah, and we could name her Madeline when she hatches

Listening to Sebastian talk about Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Julia: well bash it's not Minnie Mouse
Bash:
Julia: it's actually Mindy Mouse
Bash: ohhhh
Julia: you got that, buddy?

While holding her own blanket in her lap and sniffling ...
Julia: Hey, Bash?
Bash: yeah?
Julia: can you toss me your blankie so I can blow my nose in it?
Bash: 
 
Walking by as I was feeding Phoebe some pureed spinach + raspberries
Julia: oh, Phoebe!
Phoebe:
Julia: I didn't know you liked the taste of garbage

Watching Simon flip through and mumble the different channel names at the hotel over the weekend ...
Simon: the weather channel, and MTV, and Fox Business, and ...
Julia: excuse me, but did you just say Disney?!

In a hospital bathroom stall next to another occupied stall where someone seemed to be having some rather noisy intestinal issues ...
Julia: oh, boy
Grace: what?
Julia: did you hear that?!
Grace:
Julia: it sounded like THUNDER

  1. It is my great privilege to be the first to comment. I need to laugh and man does my sweet Julia help me do that. I love her style, her smarty pants attitude and all of her hysterical faces. It is a deep desire to one day meet this perky little sprite and her long suffering brothers and garbage eating sister. LOL! Oh sweet mercy...out of the mouths of four years olds. Gotta love them. You Miss Grace just made my Monday. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

  4. Aaaaaaaaaaah. So good. That last one! I hope that person stayed in the stall until you left.

    Already talking on her cell phone and declaring you hate fun. Oh Julia girl, you make me laugh.

  5. Oh my goodness, Miss Julia is TOO MUCH. She and my friend's daughter (also a hilarious preschooler named Julia) would enjoy each other's company.

  6. hahahaha! You can tell her that Grace and Sophie's mom hates fun too. And is it just me, or is the comment about liking the taste of garbage something Simon would say??

    ReplyDelete
  7. She's hysterical! Julia Styles posts always makes me laugh out loud (which I don't often do at my computer)! And what a little fashionista, too!

    ReplyDelete
  8. the garbage comment really got me. and of course no better way to start the week than by being out styled by a preschooler.

    ReplyDelete
  9. It sounded like thunder! I would have died laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh my gosh, she's killing it more and more with each passing month of maturity. And it looks like her air guitar skills are also coming along nicely. Sincerely, fellow fun hater

  11. hahaha. I need a little Julia in my life. She is hysterical, Grace!

    ReplyDelete
  12. oh my goodness she is hysterical!

    ReplyDelete
  13. LOVE these posts! Remind me of the silly things my own kids say :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. HA! Was Simon proud of her c-section set up?

    Also, Julia has way more style as a four-year-old than I will probably ever have in my entire life. Do those shoes come in my size?...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Not only is she hilarious, but so stinkin cute! The purse, the hair, the poses. I just want to hang out with Julia, and you. Of course you Grace :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. that last one.. hahahah!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh my. There is only one Julia. I'm glad you keep track of her funny-ness to share with all of us.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Each one was better than the last. I was trying to eat while I read but had to give up so I didn't choke.

    ReplyDelete
  19. A) I want her style....she rocks the most unlikely and yet fabulously stylish combinations ever. B) Her commentary is always, always a highlight of my day when you do these posts. She is certainly one of a kind!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm a 12 year old because the "It sounded like THUNDER" will probably keep me laughing for a little while longer.

    ReplyDelete
  21. She is hilarious! I love all her adorable outfits and the photos you capture are priceless!

    ReplyDelete
  22. "It sounded like thunder!" I just... I can't. Too good. Hahahahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Bahahahha I just laughed up some food. Love that girl. Think she and my four year old would match up?? He's used to be bossed by his little sis.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fourth picture down....gold! She is so freakin' hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Just when I think she can't possibly get any funnier, she does. And this was so needed on this Monday :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. OMG THAT 4TH PICTURE IS THE BEST.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Awesomeness...all so cute and just too damn funny!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. The first two are my favorite...can you please write a book of all Julia's antics someday? I'm htinking it would be a best seller! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. oh she is just so darling and hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  30. ok. totally snorted on the c section and the garbage. she is just the best.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow. Best kid quotes on the internet. And I'm biased toward another four-year-old cutie-pie.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The poo humor. It gets me every time. And that air guitar!? You go girl.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have no words. She is amazing and definitely has me literally laughing out loud, which is not something that I typically do when I'm reading things! Hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  34. These pictures. I'm dying of laughter over here just from her pictures! Not to mention her wit!

    ReplyDelete
  35. What in the world?! THIS CHILD, GRACE. Thank you for sharing Julia with us because I know we all want one.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Your inclusion of the air guitar pic is perfectly placed - love that facial expression. I wonder if listening to your and Simon's (apparently) dry and sarcastic humour is catching? Probably.

    ReplyDelete
  37. this was dinnertime conversation in a college dorm tonight - hope she appreciates that someday!

    ReplyDelete
  38. No one makes me laugh like Julia. And I'm not sure if that makes her hysterical or you amazing for remembering, or both. Yeah, probably both. Seriously, the girl needs her own show.

    ReplyDelete
  39. There is no doubt that if anyone needs a cure for the Monday blues, these posts are the heaven sent drug. I die laughing. Every. Single. Time. Thank you for sharing your sweet babies with us.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Is it weird to want a four-year-old's leggings? Maybe, but I do! And she's hilarious. Love this.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  46. There's nothing funnier than the things kids say. Thanks for sharing. I have 5 kids and 35 years of journals chronicling their funny conversations. Priceless.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Snorted out loud at Let It Go The Remix... She cracks me up!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. "my mom hates fun"....BEST ever, omg....sooooooo funny!!! Plus that 2nd to last picture of her is my fav Julia picture to date, fits her personality perfectly!!! Oh, and hope Bash is recovering nicely from his c section, lol!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. oh Julia, you kill me. Grace this reminds me of my sister who (at 25) got really drunk and was desperate for the loo. she went upstairs and came down again shouting "theres a man sitting on the loo and he sounds like he's really hurt himself!" the poor guy was a guest of my housemate, and was also having stomach problems. SUPER embarrassing

  50. Love these! All of them. All the time. I was particularly tickled by the "borrowing the blankie" scenario. . .We had a similar incident many moons ago when our #3 asked his two old brothers (with whom he shared a room at the time) if he could "trade your pillow" in the middle of the night. Reportedly, Brother #1 (top bunking it) inquired from aloft why he should give up his pillow. #3 said, "mine just feels yuck." Brother #2 (middle bunking it) offered from his sleepy state, "Why don't you just flip it over?" #3 responded, "Yeah, well, I just think I threw up on all the sides of mine."

    Um, yuck indeed. But, maybe it's a good sign that these children who ask for such thing have a healthy confidence in the filial love and generosity of their sibs?

  51. Bahaha - the taste of garbage. Way to go, Grace. Feeding your youngest garbage!

    I love the pattern mixing! I kind of want that outfit for myself, forget my kiddo.

    ReplyDelete
  52. This may be my favorite Julia post ever. Love that she was pretending to do a c section (future OB?)

    ReplyDelete
  53. The bit about Julia giving Sebastion a c section made me laugh out loud. Really.
    She is one bright kiddo
