I know I've gained a few pounds, but have mercy.

"Come on Hannah, it's time to get dressed."
"I don't want to wear clothes, I want to wear pajamas"
"Well we don't wear pajamas to school...come get dressed."
"I don't want to wear jeans today."
"Well what do you want to wear?"
"ummmm...hmmm...I want to wear Mommy's clothes"
"Mommy's clothes don't fit you, they're too big."
"You're too big?"
"*sigh* Yes, I suppose, but I'm working on it."
"You're a big girl!"
"Thanks sweetie."

Things you didn't know about Cinderella

Hannah has a scratch on her nose. It started out small, but she keeps scratching it. I've tried keeping her fingernails clipped and telling her to leave it alone, but no luck. So, this morning, I broke down and acquieced to her demand for a bandaid. She now has a lovely hello kitty bandaid across the bridge of her nose.

"Mama! You got this kitty bandaid for me!?"
"Yes, now leave it alone."
"I have a bandaid, just like a princess!"
"What princess has a bandaid?"
"Cinderella has a bandaid?"
"She does? I don't think I've ever seen that...when does she wear a bandaid?"
*pause*
"Sometimes!"

False accusations

I sat down next to Hannah on the couch this morning and bumped her.

Hannah: "Mama! You kicked me!"
Me: "No I didn't...kicking is when someone hits you with their foot."
Hannah: *thinking* "oh...you kicked me with your bum!"

Quote for January 24th

When I was putting Hannah to bed last night, I said, "Sweet dreams!" which is something I don't normally say.

Hannah: "What?"
Me: "I said, Sweet Dreams baby!"
Hannah: "What sweet dreams?"
Me: "That means that I hope you have good dreams when you sleep."
Hannah: "Why?"
Me: "Because it's nice to have good dreams."
Hannah: "oh......why?"
Me: "Go to sleep Hannah"
Hannah: "Ok mama, sweep dreams!"

I'm slacking...

...but it is, in a large part, because Hannah's been hanging out with her dad and grandparents and I haven't gotten many good quotes lately. So, I'll add a few that will have to count as a sampling of the last week...

1. "Mommy! It's 7:30?" "yes baby" "It's time for Jeopardy!?" "it sure is!" "oh! It's quiet time?!"

2. "Mommy! Jeopardy is all done?" "yup!" "YAY! IT'S TALKING TIME!!!"

3. "Mommy, I'm a silly piggy. hahhaa, no I'm not, I was teasing you! I'm just an owl! WHOO-WHOO!"

4. "That snow's not pretty! It's dirty! It's yucky! Don't put that in your mouth, it makes Hannah's sick!"

5. "Mommy! Those friends are cannibals!" *She was watching toy story and some of the toys were referred to as "cannibals", but it took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about, haha.

Grocery shopping is such a joy...

I informed Hannah that we will be going to the grocery store this evening after she get done at school. The grocery store is apparently akin to Disney World in the mind of a 2 year old, so she's very excited.

Hannah: We'll go to the grocery store, and I'll ride in a green car, and have a cookie!?
Me: Yup! And we'll buy lots of fruit, and vegetables, and milk!
Hannah: And we'll go see the MOBSTERS!!!
Me: Yes, of course.


Mobsters are lobsters. We are from Maine after all, so it's entirely possible that the lobsters are actually running everything from behind the scenes. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Retroactive funny

Tuesday's quote comes from Hannah's dad. He told her that her grandmother and grandfather from England will be coming to see her (this weekend actually).

Dad: Gramma and Grampa are coming all the way from England to see you!
Hannah: I want to go to England! *pause* I want to go to England to see Santa and the reindeer!



We've clearly had a miscommunication somewhere.
