Life Lessons

“I went poopy on the potty!”.

She’s corrected, “You went messy on the potty,” dear. That’s the nice way to say it.

“That’s the nerdy way to say it Grandma!!”

(I couldn’t have laughed harder)

 

Humor

My text tonight:

I was just telling Abby to change into her pajamas; she wasn’t happy so she starting crying…not a huge ordeal; tired from a long day. But…super funny…I handed her the pajama top, telling her to change into it…she stopped and said frankly, “one minute, I need to finish crying”. 🙂

Obedience

Sit.

Stay.

Park-it.

Yes, park-it.

Quality obedience training for Archie that Abby has so efficiently learned.

Yesterday, from across the room, Abby practiced this command by pointing to the ground and firmly demanding I park-it.

I’m quite certain I didn’t hide well my appreciation for the humor.

New Year Humor

Humor to ring in the New Year.

A Costco sack of chips for a petite plate of guac.

Car Conversation

Literally, our conversation went like this (verbatim)…

Abby: “Thank you, mama. Thank you for school.”

Mommy: “Thank you for being such a good girl.”

Abby: “…and so crazy!”

Mommy: “Thank you for being so smart.”

Abby: “…and so silly!”

Mommy: “Thank you for being so cute.”

Wait…no so fast

A girl who normally falls asleep immediately.

To bed tonight, but, wait…not so fast.

To bed but not to sleep.

Soon I hear, “Quatro, Cinco,” “A,B,C,” “1,2,3”…and bunches of jibber jabber that could only be baby bedtime stories.

I smile and soon there is silence once again.
