Siena

S Remember, I want an American Girl doll for my birthday.
C But what about a bitty baby? Do you want a Kit doll or Bitty Baby more?
S I want them both.
E But you can only have one.
S I need them! I need more things!
E You’re an American aren’t you?
S Yes. I’m an American, American Doll Girl!

S I’ve got Alistair’s suitcase packed.
C Why?
S We’re going on an airplane.
C Where to?
S France. Paris.

S I dreamed about princesses.
A I dreamed about Star Wars

We’re having a surprise. It’s a fiesta. We’re using the disco ball, Cuddle and Coo, and limbo sticks.

“I shake my booty butt when I was on the green bus going to school,” said Siena with hands on hips and an attitude.

Alistair

(We couldn’t find Alistair’s snow boots so we put on rain boots.)
A Rain boots? They’ll fall off.
C We can’t find your boots. What do you want me to do, Al?
A Stand in the house and cook.

Siena, do you want to go downstairs and play? You be Giesele and I’ll be the Green Monster.

A I remember we had a house that was white with black stripes.
C When was that?
A Friday.
S (With a humoring him smile on her face.) A zebra house!

A I’m frustrated with you.
C Why?
A Because you said something bad to me on Thursday.

Mom, it’s 40 degrees outside, it’s really warm.
Pretend I’m a dead squirrel.
Pretend we’re babies in a tree house. (Curls up on a lying down Siena and sucks his thumb.)
Let’s go to Kazakhstan so we can eat horse.
I wanna eat a dead dinosaur.
Siena needs to go back to the Baby House!
Puts on an apron and says, “C’mon Siena, let’s go on an adventure to cook food.”
There is a big mess in the dining room. See. Big mess. I made it. (tomatoes & pasta)
Mom, in the morning I wanna get big and drink wine.
