Miscommunication

Annabelle is talking so much these days, but it is just too funny most of the time...
When eating a peach: "Uh oh!" Annabelle is looking down at her peach pit. "Oh no Mommy! A buger! Put it to nigh night." (Everything has bugurs now that she's discovered her own nose bugers.

I was talking with a friend about Anna's potty training. We said, "Annabelle! Are you using the potty now? - Are you going to pee on the potty?" All excited Anna says, "Yeah! I'll go pee on a puppy!" Well, no wonder this has been so difficult. She is waiting for a PUPPY to pee on, not a potty!!! :)

Trouble: Taking a Spa

Today I heard the water running in the bathroom. I know that she likes to brush her teeth periodically so I just ignored it. Finally when i heard unusual sounds I got up and went into the bathroom. There is Annabelle, completely curled up on her knees inside the sink, with the plug plugged, and the water flowing ALL OVER the bathroom floor. "Annabelle! Get out of the sink - what are you doing!?!" Shrieking with shock... Annabelle answers me calmly and matter-of-fact, "I"m taking a spa! My hot-tub!" :)

Arthur and Grant were with us this weekend, and baby Helen. It was a fun cute-filled weekend. Annabelle wanted to be sure that baby Helen (all of 10 months younger than she is) did everything she did. It was "baby too?" all weekend long. This morning, Annabelle wanted to "play baby Helen." - "I'm baby Helen!" and she'd grab her pacifier and take it downstairs to "pretend" baby play. Nice try Anna. No Pac!

Grant called Uncle Rob, Aunt Rob all weekend long. Very cute indeed. Yogurt is too spicey. And when he got in trouble for running out of McDonalds, I was holidng him while he was crying (in shame I'm sure :) )... and I said, "Aunt Becca will keep you safe Grant, that's why you're in trouble." Grant said, "Aunt Becca, I'm afraid of Spiders!" "You are?" "Yes, keep me safe?" Ok Grant, I will keep you safe from spiders too, AND from running into the street... :)

All for now :)
Hope you all enjoyed.

SHARE!!!

These days I've been mainly busy with my two children - Reagan (feline) and Annabelle (human... most of the time)... Annabelle is learning how to share toys with the kitty, but at first it was steep battle. She would snatch toy mice away from the tiny cute kittens little paws, and say, "No! It's my mouse! Go away!"... I got Annabelle her own mouse, and now they each have "theirs." Of course, Reagan doesn't know the rules, but we are working on it. Time for a sibling maybe???

Today, the quote of the day is, "Anna! Get Jesus OUT of your MOUTH! He's too small!" Anna is carrying baby Jesus around in her mouth. Jesus in my heart? Jesus in my mouth? Same thing? He did say, Eat my flesh... maybe he didn't mean plastic replicas though...
