I feel your pain

After a long day of running around Portland, Hannah was being strapped into her carseat.

Hannah: "I have a problem."
The Boy: "Oh? What's that?"
Hannah: "My problem is called tired."


It runs in the family kiddo.

I may have misheard her...

...but I swear Hannah just told me that one of her toy penguins is named "Coldtrain".

Hannah is growing into an old Southern woman

Overheard while Hannah played in the sandbox.

"Oh are you my child? Are you my baby child? You are just a baby child and I am your mama! Don't worry baby child, I got you. You're safe with me."

30 seconds later...

"Momma! Momma, you're in a cage! Look out for the shark Mama! Don't worry, Hannah has you, I'm your child!"

It should be noted that she was playing with matchbox cars and a bucket.

Hannah had a good birthday

Hannah turned 3 on Monday, though she claims she turned 14. She also says her preschool teacher is only 2, like me.

My favorite part of her description of her birthday, after the ride on her new tricycle, her presents, her birthday song, her card, her meal at Bugaboo Creek with the talking animals while she wore her princess dress, hat, and slippers was, "I went to Bugaboo Creep and ate ice cream!"

Right on kiddo, we know what's important!

Big girl underpants

Hannah is trying out underpants during specific time periods in an effort to move along her potty training. Yesterday, I took her to Target to pick out some because those that I had for her were now too small. We discussed this yesterday morning:

Hannah: I want to wear underpants.
Mom: I know baby, but the ones we have are too small. We'll go to the store later and you can pick out some new underpants all by yourself!
Hannah: Those underpants are too small! Those are for babies!
Mom: Yup! We need to get you some big girl underpants!
Hannah: Yeah. Those underpants are too small for my bottom.
Mom: haha, yes they are.
Hannah: I need bigger underpants for my bottom. My bottom is big like yours!

I could take this as an insult, but I'm choosing to take it as a compliment that she thinks I could fit into size 6T underwear.

Lunch at Daddy's

Hannah's dad just sent me this:

Hannah's eating her lunch;

Hannah - "Daddy! There's no ham in this sammich!"
Me - "That's because you ate it already"
Hannah - "Yeah I did!"
Hannah laughs maniacally
Hannah - "That was funny!"

A minute later;

Hannah - "Daddy, look! There's no ham in this piece of sammich! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Your child is a fruit cake.

And I thought I was in a good mood today.

Me: Are you drawing a picture of me?
Hannah: Yeah *scribble scribble* there!
Me: Well that doesn't look very much like me.
Hannah: It's your hair!
Me: Oh! Well are you going to draw the rest of me?
Hannah: Yeah...here are your eyes *dot dot*...see, you look grouchy.
Me: Why do I look grouchy?
Hannah: Cause you arrrre grouchy.
Me: You think I'm grouchy?
Hannah: Yeah.
