A neighbor of ours puts up a huge blow up lawn display for Halloween every year. It is an enormous Garfield the Cat wearing a witch hat (yes, random I know). Last year, when my daughter was not yet 3, she was obsessed with this cat which we drove by every day in October. When she first saw him, she asked who he was. I explained he was Garfield and a little bit about the character cat… he took lots of naps, he played with his dog friend Odie, and he ate lots of lasagna. As repetitive toddlers are, she’d always ask the same questions, fully knowing the answers, every time we rode by. “What does Garfield eat?” “Who does Garfield play with?”

She sounds absolutely adorable and mighty smart :)
She IS brilliant! hee, hee!
You might want to skip that house when trick or treating. Who know what might pop out of her mouth. Too too funny

I'm glad my toddler can't say more than four words yet, none rhyming with a body part.
Love it! You always make me laugh :)
Got to love our curious and intelligent children! She must keep you on your toes.
