How to take care of a baby

Charlotte: What do you have to do to take care of a baby?
Mama: Well, you have to feed it, and love it, change diapers, burp it, keep it safe, rock it to sleep, hold it...
Charlotte: (pauses for a moment, thinking) Hmmm, I think I'll wait a little while then.

Little ears

Today in the car we were talking about work (again) and I said something about a well-child clinic visit. Charlotte piped up from the backseat, "What's a wild child visit?" :)

Bilingual kid

Charlotte: I speak two languages. I speak Minnesota language and I speak Amharic.

(Amharic is what is spoken in much of Ethiopia)

I hate days like that in clinic

Charlotte playing doctor with daddy:
Charlotte: Well, I have to go. I've got a lot of patients.
Daddy: What are you seeing a lot of these days?
Charlotte: Well, a lot of hearts not beating.
