Rockin' out!

Cleaning this morning, Abby was my big helper. (with our little helper, Lochlan although I wouldn't exactly call him a helper so much as I pull things back out and play with them kinda guy) We were listening to some music and I asked her to put on of her toys in the bin and she said: "mom, I can't right now, I'm rockin' out!"  I gave her a high five for that one!

The other day Abby was sitting on the potty and doing her business and out of the blue she goes:
"Pooo...pee! ha ha!" Stretching out the word so it became two separate words. So funny. Yep, that's what you were doin babe! I think the funnier part was that she thought she was creating her own joke!

I think it was the same time that she became very inquisitive and asked where the poop and the pee go from the potty. And also where the water in the sink and the tub go.  She loves learning!

Moving very slowly today on the slippery roads, we turned a corner and Abby laughed and said: "ha, we're like a choo choo train!" (Noting the long line of cars)

And earlier today at Nana's, Lochlan was getting upset about something and Abby said: "It's okay buddy, just be patient. Don't get so frustrated!"

boobie milk

Abby says some pretty sweet as well as funny things. I can't possibly keep track of them all. This morning however, this one stopped me in my tracks and I knew I had to write it down!

"Mommy, I drank all my milk. I went *gulp gulp* and it went down here and into my boobies."

(For the record, I stopped nursing Lochlan quite some time ago.)

Permission

I was busy for a few moments and I overheard Abby asking Lochlan if she could play with one his toys. (a new one from Christmas) I have always encouraged her to ask him even though he's not quite ready to respond with a yes or no. To get into the habit at least!

Next thing you know, I peeked in on them and she was taking his head and nodding it yes with her hands!

Made me giggle!

Happy to help!

"K, if you need any help, call me. Cause I'm Ab, and I'm happy to help!"
(I have no idea what I was about to do but it was super cute what she said!)

Can you teach me?

Okay, this may be a little too much information but it's super cute! Abby was going to the potty and said "I ate too much, I spoiled my supper. The goldfish are going in the potty!" he he he....seriously now.

(I should perhaps mention that she has a book that explains where poop comes from!)

And this morning she said while I was getting ready for work:
"Mom, I want to be nice and beautiful too. Can you teach me?" Then she proceeded to say: "Mom, I have to tell you something. Yesterday I was sneaky and put on some of your makeup!"
I told her that she doesn't need makeup, she's already nice and beautiful! I suppose I should have mentioned something about not being sneaky too! But at least she tells me!!

Love my girl.

A pleasure!

"Mommy, I'm sorry for saying a bad word when we were on the way to Nana's yesterday. ("Shut up Lochlan!" - he was crying and being fussy.) This comment was from early November.

Yesterday, I gave Abby the job of putting Lochlan's books back on his shelf. (A never ending battle since he likes to pull them all out.  Abby would tell me that she did something and I would say good job. She then came out with: "It's a pleasure!" Hilarious!

Wednesday morning we woke up to the first snowfall of the season. Abby was in still in her jammies but put on her coat, hat, boots, my gloves and was out the door in an instant!  She came back in and said" "Mom, it's all snowy and crunchy! You've got to try this!"
