pat patting

Abby gave me much material today. Such a funny gal!

At breakfast this morning, Abby asked for more toast. I went to grab her plate and noticed that it was now sitting on the couch in front of the TV.  I said, "hmmm, how'd that get there?!"
She said: "I was a sneaky girl!"


For some reason this morning her word of the day was "jazzy." For instance, she said about Lochlan: "He's a jazzy boy!"


"He's so cute! How'd Lochlee get here?
 Oh dear, she's only three. It can't be the birds and the bees just yet!
She followed that up with: "Daddy brought him from the hopital!"  Whew!

Abby also told me today referring to Lochlan "Don't be jealous!"  I have no idea what I was supposed to not be jealous of! (perhaps his nap times! lol)

I gave her a cheese string today at lunch and she said very seriously, "mommy, don't do that! It hurts it!" (I had started to peel the pieces of cheese for her)

And my favourite: Abby fell off her chair trying to reach for a crayon and Lochlan came over while I was hugging her and started patting her back! What a great moment!
Abby said "Awe, he's pat patting me!"

Christmas request

Some days Abby sighs and says "Oh, I really want it to snow!" (Let's not be in such a hurry there missy!)

I recently asked her what she would like for Christmas and at first she said she wanted a lion! Correction 5 lions! Because she really loves her li! (He is her favourite stuffed animal that is her comfort item)

So I asked her if she would like anything else. She thought for a moment and then said:
"I know, I'll ask for a present for Lochlan!"

Warmed my heart. What a thoughtful little girl we have. xo

faster legs & beer

While outside having fun and playing Ballerina's and running around chasing each other, Abby said:
"Mom, can you teach me how to make my legs run faster? I can't get them to go fast!"
Bless her!

We were having supper last night and Rob was pouring us a glass of gingerale. Rob told her that it was like beer and that she couldn't have any.

She thought for a few moments and then said something along the lines of, "Hmmmm...I think when I get bigger, I would like to have beer!" Oh dear! But man, did that make me giggle. That was followed up with:

 "But I'm not bigger yet! ......Maybe I can have just a little sip? Just a teeny tiny sip? Please? Just one?"

Um...no...

stop sign & big girl treats

Okay, so were driving home today from a store, and we were talking about Christmas. I asked Abby what she'd like to get Lochlan for Christmas. Her answer was definitely not what I was expecting! She thought for a moment and then said, "I know what I'll get Lochlan for Christmas! Wait for it, wait for it.....wait...wait....a stop sign!"

Come again?

Yes, my dear sweet three year old would like to get her baby brother (although I guess he's not technically a baby anymore) a stop sign for Christmas!

I asked her if she thought Lochlan would like a stop sign. She said, "yes, he would." I said, "well what will he do with a stop sign?"

She said, "I'll hold the sign, and say Lochlan, 'stop!' And then he'll laugh!"

Fair enough.

-----------------

This morning Abby said: "Mom, do you want to have big girl treats?" I asked her what that was. She said "You know, you have special treats for big girls like you and me!"

------------------

I really wish I could remember everything I tell my brain to remember that she says is super cute or funny. It slightly irritates me that I don't. But at least she has plenty of material!

miss you

Abby and I were playing with her letter pieces and building blocks out of them. We created a little rectangle and she sat in it. She said, "this is for big girls, not big mommies." I'm not sure if I should be offended!!!

Later, we were enjoying hanging out together in the toy room and all of a sudden she stopped and said "I miss you." I told her I missed her too. Then she said, "I really miss you when you're at work." I gotta admit, I had instant tears in my eyes. Broke my heart really. It's definitely been a very busy week as I've been putting in long hours between both jobs. But we're trying to spend every chance we get together. And thankfully I don't work as much next week.

Then later as we were reading stories, "Mom, I want to tell you something - I love you."

: )

bell-eh bell-eh!

To her dolls: "K babies, let's get napping!"

When dropping off Abby and Lochlan at Nana and Poppa's one day last week, Abby informs me this: "I'll be good. I won't knock Lochlan over or bonk him on his head!" Good to know!

And this morning she said to Lochlan. "Bud, you have to keep your shirt on so your bell-eh bell-eh don't get cold. K, bud?"
