"Quote-worthy"

Out of the mouths of babes . . . viewing the world through the eyes (and mouth) of a 2 year old is both entertaining and astonishing. Little Miss cracks me up, surprises me, and challenges me on a daily basis with her dialog. In an effort to remember some of the gems she comes out with, I decided I'd better post a few.

The What's and Where's - We haven't quite arrived at the why questions yet, but Little Miss is hitting me hard with the What's and Where's:

- "What is time?"
- While singing the Miss Mary Mack song - "What is July Mommy?"
- "Where is the wind?"
- "Mama, where is God?"

About the phone - Little Miss enjoys phones (particularly real ones of course):

- When I hang up the phone after speaking to someone Little Miss says, "That was . . . " with a long, dramatic pause waiting for me to fill in the blank with a name.
- Suddenly while playing quietly with her toys, "Oh, my phone is ringing" and she scampers off to go find it.
- An entire 'phone call' from the backseat while riding in the car:
"Hello Abber (name she made up). How are you? Are you swimming with your baby? See ya later. Bye.". Then she turns to me and says, "Abber hung up!".

The name game:

- Little Miss likes all of her dolls and animals to have names (including all of the Fisher Price Little People people we have - at least 12 or so) and she never forgets the name each one is given.
- She has now begun making up names for her dolls, babies, stuffed animals, etc. A few recent original names include, "Andra", "Evla", "Glendy", and "Lyndia"!

Some random commments:

- "I'm potectin' my boo-boo with my bandand." - (a.k.a. bandaid)
- "I want gummy bears in my mouth."
- While eating pasta (her favorite) and chicken, she spit out a piece of chicken. When I asked her what happened, why she spit out the chicken, she told me, "I changed my mind!".
- "Sometimes I get fuster-ated with these scissors."

Compliments and courtesies:

- "I like your bracelet Mama, I love the color!" - about my silver bracelet
- "Thank you for helping me go Mommy." - while I pushed her on the see-saw
- "Thank you Grammie for taking care of me."
- "My Mommy is my best friend!" - awww!!!

Seriously, does it get any sweeter than this?!?!
