One of Annabelle’s favorite phrases is still a classic: “I can’t like it.” Also popular, “I can’t want to.” But today, we were going through some clothes and I held up a shirt and Annabelle said, “I can’t wear it.”

“Why?” I asked.

“It’s not cute.”

I am not sure if she even knows what she is saying, but Andy heard her from upstairs and cracked up. We both died laughing.

She did love the one with “buttons on!” And demanded we put it on her immediately, which we did. So maybe she is already — at the tender age of 2 1/2 — developing her idea of what is cute and what isn’t? I don’t know, but it was really funny.
