Pretend

Brad, my sister's husband came over yesterday to fix our toilet. Abby had so lovingly put an entire roll of toilet paper in and it clogged it up. Still haven't found out if perhaps she put something else in there too! But yes, an overflow occurred. Good times!

Thankfully Brad came to our rescue (yet again) and brought Owen, his youngest. So Abby and I are sitting at the table having breakfast and she says: "Mommy,  I'll be Uncle Brad, and you be Owen." I said...okay.... Then, "Owen, can you hand me that wrench?"

It was pretty cute I must say!

We also played "You be Abby, and I'll be mommy."

Then she was talking about about wolves and the forest and saying that I have to be careful because "they just puff you down!"

"You hear the sniffly sound?" *sniff sniff* "It's in the forest. You have to be careful."

Ever the imagination of a sweet little three year old.

Buddy

Abby has been away for the weekend camping with my parents and a few friends and other family members. Tonight she said to my mom, "Nana, I want to see my buddy, Lochlan."

: )  So sweet.

Teacher Abby

One morning Abby said to me: "Mom, Lochlan can't talk." I said, "No hunny, he can't."
Abby: "I'll teach him. Lochlan, talk! Say, ruff!"

And the other day she got up after having a very interrupted sleep in the night and went to watch a show. She told me: "I'm laying down cause I didn't get much sleep!" I told her she could go back to bed but she said no, she was okay. Just layin' down.

twirl, cheese, flies

I really wish I could remember all of the cute things that Abby says when I think "I have to remember this and write it down." Alas, I forget! Anyway, I did manage to write down a few.

After spilling something...."Ok, I'm gonna need a cloth." 

About Rob: "He's a great man. He has the power, and the glory!"

I was exhausted after working all day and came home and said to Abby: " I'm pooped." Abby: "Huh? You pooped?"

Rob was trying on his kilt with his new birthday accessories and Abby put on her "gown" and was twirling around. Then she said: "Dad - can you twirl?" How awesome is THAT?! lol He was like, um...no hunny, I don't twirl.

"Mom, say what can we do to cheer her up Lochlan? I know, give her cheese!"

After spending the day with Granny I asked Abby if she was a good girl. She said, "No, I wasn't good." So I later asked if Lochlan was good. She said "Yeah, he was good, but not me."

There have been some fruit flies hanging around lately. At dinnertime Abby said "Shoo! I don't want flies for supper!"


Trying to get her to whisper as she was playing in her room since it was early and Lochlan and daddy were still sleeping. "Abby you're being too loud." Abby: "I have to be loud because I can't hear what I'm saying."

a good joke


Rob: "Abby, the secret to a good joke is knowing when to end the joke!
Abby: "But I like my joke!"
