I'm just sayin...........

If you're going to buy a 10-pack of Baby Ruth's and you don't want to eat all of them, you probably shouldn't hide them in a secret place that only you know about. I'm just sayin..........

Amen to that!

For the past few months we have been helping Ava pray over the family meals. We subscribe to the parrot method, meaning we say the prayer and she repeats it. Lately we've gone from short, condensed sentences like "Thanks family, thanks food" to full sentences "Thank you for our family, thank you for the food." She was doing quite well mimicking this and for awhile now has recognized the end of the prayer coming and throws her arms out and shouts amen! Yesterday apparently she was feeling tired because all she could do was agree. Here was the prayer:

Me: Heavenly Father
Ava (nodding): yeah
Me: Thank you for this day
Ava: yeah
Me: Thank you for this food
Ava(nodding): yeah
Me: Please bless the food
Ava: yeah
Me: In the name.....
Ava: AMEN!

Apparently she was saving any energy she had for the grand finale of amen. Amen to that!

Flavor of the week

Ava: I yuv Ande (cute little girl she plays with weekly)

Me: Who else do you love?

Ava: I yuv ees-ur (Easter) (I'm sure this has nothing to do with the 35 lbs of candy you ate while your mom was chatting it up with her cousins and not paying attention to you.)

Me: Oh yeah? What else do you love?

Ava: I yuv jammies (me too if it means I'm going to sleep)

Me: Anything else you love? Who else do you love?

Ava: I yuv amals (animals)

And that's the list. For those of you who think you should have been included, don't worry, you may show up next week. The girl is very fickle!

In the words of a child...........

Out of the blue words from the 2 year old I am babysitting today:

2yrold: My mom says we don't eat diarrhea
me: What?
2yrold: We don't eat diarrhea, we don't eat poop and we don't drink pee.
me: Okay. What do we eat?
2yrold: Food.
me: (being facetious) Hmmm..... What about boogers? Do we eat those?
2yrold: No.......but just a taste.
me: Just a taste?
2yrold: Yeah cuz boogers is tasty.

And now you know.
