Anything to do with numbers. She will take a tape measure, measure something, and boldly announce it is "500 and 1/4 pounds!" She went to bed at "around thirty," and it's going to winter for "forty-three more weeks" (which feels pretty close to the truth).
She's very emphatic and freely throws "never" and "forever" into her sentences. "Mommy, it's NEVER going to be dinner-time." Or my favorite, upon learning her favorite dessert option wasn't available, "I'm NEVER going to eat dessert again!"
Her current obsession is with spring/summer and the appropriate clothing. She will have tears in her eyes as she tells me it is never going to be springtime. And she will recount a story about being in Florida with the important element being which shorts and t-shirt she was wearing at the time. Lee loves to put on shorts and a short-sleeved shirt (in our 64-degree home) and sit on the heating vent. If I tell her to put heavier clothing on, she says "but Mommy, I'll get SWEATY!"

So cute - I've heard some of the same traits, like the bizarre "precision" of meaningless combinations of numbers.
Not sure if I mentioned how she greeted me the first time I stayed at your new place. She gave me an intent look, and demanded, "Why are you always here?" It reminded my of my old German teacher who had trouble (in English) with the nuances of still/again/yet.
I love that. Glad you didn't take it hard. She adores seeing her Aunt Lee!
