A LION, Mommy! A LION!!!
Last Saturday we went to a Birthday lunch for a friend of ours at Tucanos Brazilian Grill. Mmmm, all you can eat meat! I loved it! Anyways... While we were finishing up our meal, Sydney was standing on the bench, peeking over the the wall to see what was going on in the other part of the restaurant. All of a sudden she starts yelling, "A LION, Mommy! A LION!!!!" I was in the middle of a conversation, so I didn't respond immediately. She had to have yelled it at least 5 times. When she finally got my full attention, I peeked over the wall and saw a woman who look just like a lion! I could hardly believe it. Let me describe her... She was oriental, with a LOT of gold make-up; gold-ish blond hair, styled in a full-on mullet. The top of the mullet was all an even length, about 3-4 inches and was styled just like the lion in the picture above, and the back part had to have been 10-12 inches long. She was a REAL lion, at least to Sydney. Luckily it was so loud in the restaurant, that I don't think she heard Sydney calling her a lion. It was so funny. We were laughing so hard, it hurt. Sydney still talks about the "scary" lion at the restaurant.
Hanging with the big guys.
The other day Sydney told me she wanted to watch a movie with Zoe, Jesus, and Santa. They were going to eat chicken, broccoli, and yogurt. Then she made it VERY clear that I wasn't invited. I'm really glad that Jesus made the list :)
Date night.
I'm not sure where Sydney got the idea, but she thinks whenever Nick and I go on a date it means we are going to the beach. For instance, Nick and I are going to the Draper Temple openhouse tonight with some friends. Sydney and Zoe are going to Grandma and Grandpa's. I told Sydney that Grandma is really excited that Sydney is going to her house tonight, while mommy and daddy go on a date. Sydney replied, "Yesth, and Mommy and Daddy going to leave. And go to the beach, and walk on the beach with their toes. No shoes, just toes." She had to have gotten this idea from one of the movies she's watched, because we've never taken her to the beach. Awe, I love this girl!!!

This is hilarious! I totally saw this lady that day too and I told Jaimee- "That lady looks like a lion!" and she told me Syd said the same thing. I laughed so hard. It made my day. Those toddlers and I....we are on the same level:)
PS: didn't you think she looked like a lion?
Oh, yeah! She totally looked like a lion!!! I'm surprised her hair stylist or at least a family member or friend hasn't said something. Then again, maybe that's what she's going for... the "wild" look :)
That is hilarious! I seriously wish I could have seen that Lion. Ahh, gotta love your sydney.
Syd is just too cute. Definatly a keeper. Hey, have fun at the beach tonight! Bring us back some warm weather! LOL
Oh man the lion thing totally made my day!! That lady REALLY looked like a lion! Have so much fun on your date, date nights ROCK!!
So Cute...when are we going to get our girls together? I need to talk to you about the fall too! Call me!
I am TOTALLY cracking up about the lion thing! I love how kids can get away with saying what their parents would probably be thinking! Well, sometimes. Good luck when you get the moments where she starts saying those things TO the person and you have to explain!
I would just like to add my testimony to the many already recorded above. That lady really did look like a lion. I would have really thought she was a lion if it wasn't for the layers and layers of eyeliner and mascara (is this spelled right?) that she was wearing.
