First

During lunch, Madelyn explained to us what they named their Elsa and Anna Itty Bitty dolls: "The little ones are Elsia and Annia, not Elsa and Anna."

Second

While driving to Wheaton Regional Park, we were following the beginning of the course for the Parks Half Marathon that morning. As we were driving by, I was talking about some of the silly things the pacer I was running with at that point said during the race.
Madelyn: What's a pacer?
Me: It's someone who is supposed to run the race at a steady pace to finish in a certain amount of time.
Madelyn: I want to be a pacer!
Me: You need to run and practice a lot more first.
Madelyn: Well, I'm going to be a pacer when I'm fifteen!
Me: If you keep running, you might be able to do that for shorter races.
Madelyn: I'm going to practice a lot!
