Three Peas in a Pod: January 2009

Friday, January 30, 2009

Our home is sometimes peaceful, but rarely silent...

Our girls love to talk. Not that it is a surprise to anyone who knows me...it's genetic. Most of the time that they say things that make us laugh or smile, I thoroughly enjoy, then sadly forget. Here's a few I hope to hold on to:

A bathroom conversation (forgive the personal note) with Nicole:
Nicole: Mommy poopin? Poopin, too?
Me: Yes, Mommy's pooping.
Nicole: Ghose?
Me: What?
Nicole: Ghose?
Me: (to self) oh...gross. (To Nicole) Is it stinky?
Nicole: Uh-huh. Bye-bye, Mommy!

Nicole, while hugging Matt goodbye: "Gonna miss you!" (It was even harder for him to leave after that!).

When Nicole sees pictures of roosters: "Awk-a-doo-doo"

This one is for those of you who are familiar with Barbie and the Diamond Castle. Nicole sings along to the Barbie doll, copying big sister: "hmmm...nected...hmmm...ected"

I am learning that Vanessa is catching on to a lot more things. There was something I saw at the store I wanted to surprise the girls with later. Unfortunately, it caught Vanessa's eye, and she couldn't stop talking about it. I tried to make it sound like it was for someone else (I know, I lied to my child). At the end of the very long shopping trip she turns to me:
"Mommy, I think I'm going to get that treat because Daddy got the sled and he said it was for somebody else, and then he gave me the sled, so I think I'm going to get that treat!" Whoops!

At my doctor's appointment, Vanessa was very concerned about what the doctor was doing to me (don't worry, it wasn't the Pap), "Doctor, be careful with Mommy, because she's a special mommy." (Makes me heart melt).

On frequent occasions, when Matt gets to be home with us, Vanessa often says "Daddy, your the best daddy in the whole world."

When I ask Vanessa to help me clean up her toys so she can get out yet more toys: "Mommy, I'm exhausted. Maybe you should just do it."
