Quotes

I've had some good ones lately.

*Diclaimer- I only do the blog for me. For me. Just sayn. If you don't wanna read all this "stuff," then don't. :)

And I know this isn't a quote, but I have to jot it down. This morning, she was watching tv in our bed. I slid myself under the covers to snuggle up. Nothing was said verbally, however non-verbally- everything!...she so gently kissed me on the forehead. Oh. my. gosh. Genuine, that girl. My heart skipped a beat.

Onto a 3 year olds thoughts- out loud. :)
1. Mak- Mommy. I hurt my heal when I jumped off the bed.
Me- Oh honey, I'm sorry.
Mak- It's okay Mom. It wasn't your fault.
2.I was outside mowing the backyard. My mom and dad were over, Ben was home and they were all watching me on the deck. (Something's wrong with this picture!) I guess something was said about everyone being there. She said, "It's like a party!"
3. Me- Makenna, someone special is coming to our house today!
Mak- Who, Momma?
Me- Guess!
Mak- Guess who? (totally puzzled)
Me- Guess!!
Mak- Who's Guess, Mom!?!
4. She was laying in the hallway with Cali. Our cat has just recently been shaved so her little kitty nipples are quite visible. Makenna says, "What are these, Mom?" I told her they were her boobies, and that's how she fed her babies if she had some. Next came the loaded question I wasn't planning for! "Where do they come from?" "Where do what come from honey?" (Knowing exactly what she was talking about.) "Where do babies come from?!" Uhhh- quick on my feet, I replied with, "Well sweet pea, where did you come from?" "Uh, I don't know...I can't remember!" Good thing that convo worked itself out!
5. I've been hiding this movie from her, that she recently found. I re-hid it and told her that her Aunt had borrowed it and taken it home. She asked me to send Aunt Sarah a text and ask for it back. :) Guess she understands texting.
6. Just this morning, she asked me to draw her an 'azul pool'. Woah, dog-- now that's bilingual!! :) Vamanos Dora!
7. She can't get it through her head that eggs hatch...they actually patch instead. And she has started saying 'ya' all the time. Like, "How are ya?!" Funny.
8. When you ask her what she's going to be for Halloween, she'll say Princess Giana. What she really means is Princess Tiana. She had a little girl in her class last year by the name of Giana. It's been Princess Giana since...no matter how many times we say TTTTTTTTTTTi-ana. She might also add that Bennett's going to be a frog. "And maybe if I kiss him, he'll turn into a PRINCE!!!!????"
9. If she doesn't eat her cereal in a certain amount of time, she'll say that it's melted. I like it...makes perfect sense. It's soft and mushy...just like ice cream.

10. She's recently obsessed with helping me cook. But she HAS to have her cooking "robe" (apron) and hat. It's a fall must-have. :) And not only does she wear one to keep clean, but she wears one on top of the other so the first one doesn't get dirty either! Wow- a bit of her Grandmother V in here, I think!?....
11. Bennett likes to come into the bathroom and snoop around, be an annoying little brother while she's going potty and is in need of some "privacy!" I caught her saying the other day to him (B/c I tell him everytime to leave her alone...) "Bennett- Remember what your mother told you..." in this very motherly tone.
12. Something that may not be very blog-appropriate, but I'm going to post it anyway is that she calls her private area her "body." I'm really not sure where she ever got this from, but we've left it alone. The term works perfect in a public setting. Although we have concerns about whether or not she knows what her actual body is. Guess it'll come with time. :)
13. Something else that she just MIGHT get from me is "Orrrr not?!" She'll predict something and then realize she's wrong. Funny-
14. "Ouch. I hurt my fingers. I pinched 'em with my teeth!" That does hurt when you bite your own fingers. Haha.
15. As I was washing dishes the other day, she was at the table eating. Bennett is SUCH a begger...no kidding. Grunts and whines the WHOLE time while standing at your chair, that is- until you give him something to gnaw on. I had my listening ears turned on. Their little conversation went like this.
B- Ughghghghg....bababa...mmmmmmmm
M- Now Bennett, you have to be patient. I'll give you some more in a minute. Finish what I just gave you, bubby. (in the sweetest mother hen voice ever.)
B-Dadadadadad....ughughgughughgu...mmmmmmmm
M-I know Bub, you're okay, you're okay. Come on now, you have to wait a while. You're okay.
There was SO MUCH more, and they just kept going. If I'd-a-had a video camera...
16. She sings "Papa, Papa, Paparazzi" all the time. One of her faves.
17. I was trying to parallel park. This came from the back seat- I don't know Mommy...that's an awfully tight spot?!.... I mean- for reals!?
18. She's been saying prayers at nighttime. She's thankful for the normal- she'll list her family members, her friends, her teachers, dance class, etc, etc. Then she'll start naming off things, actual items in her room while looking around gaining ideas. Is this a staling tactic?...Hook line and sinker! Books, clothes, shelves, pillows, And DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRSSS! Amen! Whew- 5 minutes later.
19. Both the kids were upstairs without me and I couldn't hear Bennett anymore. I asked Makenna where he was. Her response, "He's locked up in the tower." AKA- She'd shut him in his room. At least she's creative.
20. Makenna and I were in the restroom few days back, and we were discussing going potty. She said, "Girls don't stand up to pee-pee b/c they don't have long potty strings on their bodies, right Momma?!" So hilarious!! :)
21. And the Sweetest Quote Ever Prize goes toooooo (Drum roll please...) Miss Mak-- "I miss my Bennett, Mommy."

I guess that sums it up- I suppose my memory's still alive and kickin! :) Thank the good Lord for post-it notes!
