wait for it...

Thankfully I've remembered to write a few of Abby's sayings down as they occur. So these are a few from the past couple of weeks. I know I have a few more written down around here and I'll post them soon. Enjoy!

Abby: "Mom, can you do me a favour? Run upstairs to my room and get something for me? me: "Like what?" Abby: "Wait for it, wait for it....a....a.....teddy bear for Lochlan!"

"That doesn't really look like stairs but thanks for trying!" (We were playing with lego and I was building "stairs."

And this one from May 12th. I think it was some type of goulash.
"I tried it, but it's just not yummy."

Big girl's job, drip dropping, princess

"Stand back dad, this is a big girl's job!" she was actually trying to squish fruit flies!

"Don't worry mom. It's just drip dropping out!" (after I said it was starting to rain so we might not be able to go outside to ride her bike.

I was talking to Abby about how it felt like fall was in the air. I asked her if she knew what happened in the fall. Naturally, she wasn't sure. So I told her: Thanksgiving, Halloween, leaves changing and falling, apple picking....and I asked her if she knew what she wanted to be for Halloween. She said, "A princess! And I'm going to paint red on my lips!"
No idea wear that came from!

There are so many wonderful things that Abby says on a daily basis. I'm finding that if I don't write them down, I tend to forget. So I'm thankful I started this blog so I can put them all in a book one day for her to enjoy. And hopefully give a smile to anyone who reads this along the way.

Rain

On our way to Granny & Grampa's Abby was talking about how she really wanted to go to the splash pad. I told her that it was up to Granny. And that besides, it looked like it was going to rain.
She said: "No it isn't. Stay there rain!" (If only it were that simple!)

I think at some point, I've said something similar. I remember one time her saying that it looked like rain clouds and said "no, it's not going to rain." She said why? And I said "because I said so. No thank you rain!"

So like mother like daughter! xo

Butter!

"Mom, I want toast." "Do you want jam on it? " Said all in the same tone: "No, I want butter butter butter. I said butter."

I'm free!

After spending our morning at the hospital which turned out to be a non-specific rash, Abby asked me to remove her bracelet. She said, "I know! You can use Nana's scissors!" (the craft wavy ones - interesting in itself) I cut it off and she said:
"Mommy, I'm free!"

Love her. xo

The sun is out!

"Mommy the sun is out. See, right there! It's shining on you. It's yellow, just like there!" (pointing to the yellow on my pajamas bottoms) - August 5th

I always enjoy the sayings that Abby uses to wake me up. How can you not smile and have a great start to your day?
