You know how I used to have lists and lists of great things that Gigi said? Well, things are changing and although her imagination is blooming at the Emerson Waldorf School and she can play for hours in a pretend world, in other ways her understanding of the world is maturing and we're losing some of her quotables. I even tried to do an interview with her a few months ago, and although her interviews used to be full of completely far fetched but confident statements and opinions about the present and the future, modern-day Gigi is seeing the grey areas of life instead of just blacks and whites. When I asked her what she was going to be when she grows up she said something like, "I don't know yet" and when I asked her what color was her favorite she responded with something vague like, "I can't decide because they are all so pretty".
But every once in a while I am still running over to get my trusty pad of paper and pen to jot down word for word what spills out of her mouth.
Sometimes it's sweet....
"Why can't we just be close together like that so I can reach out my hand and comfort him?" said Gigi when her and Orion's beds were temporarily pushed together for vacuuming purposes.
And sometimes so classic 4-year old....
"The game's not FAIR if I can't win!" while losing a Memory game to a friend.
