Amaya the Extraordinnaire

This little girl is something to marvel at.

She's always cracking us up.

The other day we were in a furniture store shopping and I needed to get Dash out of there, so I told Amaya to go and tell Shad that I am leaving with Dash. She turns and yells "Dad, mom is leaving you". The store clerks were giggling.

She is very smart and uses it to her advantage.

A while back I was readying Dash and Amaya for bed. Amaya saw Dash's medicine and asked who it was for, I told her Dash.

She says: "Yesterday I was sick"

I asked " oh, what hurt?"

She replies "my feelings"

She invents new words.

Statching, meaning to fold, or to stick something somewhere, to clean up.

She knows Everyone's annoyed button and will push it until the button breaks.

Ella and Amaya were standing next to the TV and Amaya kept knocking on the screen. Ella told her to stop. Amaya did it again. Ella said stop like it meant the end of the world. Amaya did it again. I tell Ella to stop being so dramatic and I tell Amaya to stop pushing buttons. Amaya says she isn't pushing buttons. I explain to her what I meant. Amaya knocks on the side of the TV.

She has a talent for music. She can remember words to songs, I don't even know.

Earlier this year, she kept singing "I'm just sittin' in the window watching all the cars go by". I didn't know where she picked up this stanza and was determined to figure it out. About a week later I hear it on the XM radio station Kid's Place Live. She was singing the tune exactly right.
