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!"

sweet sweet love

As Lochlan was going to bed, Abby gave him a kiss, said goodnight, then:
"Thanks for playing with me Loch."

The calculator

One day last week, Abby and I went to the mall to get a few things. She said, "Oh mom, I really want to ride the calculator!" I said, "the calculator?"

[giggle giggle]

"Oh, you mean the escalator!"  That comment made the girl working laugh.

She has been playing a lot more on her own this week. She'll disappear into her room and close the door. She'll say something like,"I'm doing a very important job." This morning, she was in her room, again with the door closed, and I went to check on her. She was a little reluctant to let me in at first but when she finally did she said "I'm decorating my room for Christmas!" She was putting the new Christmas stickers I got her on her walls. Thankfully, they are not that sticky and should be fine! (She knows though that she's not to put stickers on the wall! Hence the hesitancy to let me in!) I did tell her it was okay, but she should make sure it's okay next time.
