Unclear on the concept

Eirena, sitting on the potty: Can you watch me?
Me: watch you do what, poop?
Eirena: yeah
Me: why?
Eirena: because it's fun

Clearly.

Eirena, opening My Utmost For His Highest, "this is the Bible about REI".

"can I share this with Fuzzy bear?" (three orange segments, and she did 'share' with Fuzzy Bear)
"Today you will be with me in heaven" (does she know something?)
"O Come o commi manuel" (O Come O Come Emmanuel- we clarified that we weren't singing to communists named Manuel)
Me: shall we comb your hair? E: no, its not fun to comb my hair Me: why isn't it fun? E: because that's just the way that it isn't fun (a favorite explanation for things is "that's just the way that it is")
"No, that's not football, that's socking ball." (soccer- the little American!)
"Uc is a frosterated dog" (frustrated, I think)

"yay mommy, you ate your food ALL UP!" (clapping for me)
"Mommy,Daddy,Eirena, Uncle Nathan, Aunty Rachel, 'Bekah, Daniel all go away, way way in nice warm car and go to sleep" (not sure about the logic or context on this one)
"Eirena put pee back in potty" (after finishing peeing)
"When Daddy comes home we go to Jaipur" (which is in Rajasthan, India)

"trains, trains, trains, I love trains"
