How can you not love this girl?1. Anna was looking at a book about animals and she pointed to a prairie dog and said, "What is this, Mom? A mini corn dog?" You can tell what she likes to eat for dinner.
2. We were reading yet a different book with animals and Anna said, "Mom, am I an animal?" I said, "Yes, you're a monkey, remember?" Without missing a beat, she said, "Ooh ooh ah ah!" and did some wiggling. My little comedienne. (That's cute and all, but mostly it's just pretty amazing timing for a 2-year-old, don't you think?)
3. Anna and I went on a date last week to McDonalds. Awesome, I know. We ate our nutritious dinner in the play place area next to a window. While she was chewing, she just kept looking around — in awe of her surroundings, I guess. When she realized that she could see her reflection in the window, she immediately opened her mouth so that she could show herself the food she was chewing. Nice. She kept at that for a good 5 minutes. I hope the people coming inside enjoyed the preview of the meal they were about to eat.
4. The last couple mornings when I've gone in to get Anna, she's been on the phone with Robin Hood. She pretends to hold a phone up to her ear and has a fairly normal conversation with him, telling him what I'm doing or what she did yesterday. In the middle, she'll move the "phone" and whisper, "Mom, it's Robin Hood," and then she'll go back to her normal phone voice. Classic. She also has quite the crush on him and has said that he's very handsome and that she's going to marry him. He IS quite a fox...
5. Anna fell down the other day and had a teary moment. After we got it all taken care of, she still had the sniffles for a few minutes. Finally I said, "Is your nose okay? Do you need a tissue?" She said, "Yeah, I just have tears in my nose." Awwww....
#1. I think the question should be, how can i not love that couch! Good heavens. :)
ReplyDelete#2. Are you feeding her corn dogs?? Ash, this is blaspheme.
#3. Love the little monkey and that she asked you.
#4. Also love her being on the phone with Robin Hood. And i don't blame her, i totally had/have a crush on him.
#5. Tears in my nose. Now that is precious.
#6. My word verification is "eightsal." Hmm.
Answer to the first question: I CAN'T not love this girl! She is the best! (As far as 2-year-olds go - I can get away with saying that because none of MY children is currently 2!)
ReplyDeleteMy nephew loved the movie Robin Hood when he was 2. Must be an age thing - although I don't think he was "in love" with Robin Hood. Also, the songs in that movie are sung by Roger Miller, whom I love. We had a record (I'll explain this term later if you don't know what it is) of him when I was a kid. We had all the songs memorized, including the parts where the record was scratched. "In the summertime, when all the trees leaves are green, leaves are green, leaves are green…)
Thanks for sharing the cuteness of your daughter!
