Charlye's 1st conversation...ever!

We've been working on saying "thank you!" and "welcome!" with Charlye. So when I put her down for bed and give her a sippy cup she usually says "Dink ya MAW". Today I'm laying her down and I start talking to her like I normally do and the following conversation happened. Now keep in mind she's only 18 months old....so this was my 1st conversation with her, EVER!

Me: "Are you ready for a nap? I think you are, you look sleepy!"

Charlye: "OOOHHH NOOOO!!!"

Me: "What? You don't want to take a nap?"

Charlye: "NO! NO! NO!"

Me: "Well you need to Charlye, you'll be grumpy, do you want your sippy?"

Charlye: "Yea-YUM!"

Me: "Yum!?!"

Charlye "Dink you Maw!"

Me: "Welcome"

Charlye: "Weltome!"

Me: "Love you sweet girl!"

Charlye: "Love ya Maw!"

Me: "Did you just say Love ya Ma?"

Charlye: "Yea...BYYYYEEE!!" She pulled the cover up over her and rolled over to go to sleep. :) I remember just getting excited for her to say one or two words let alone sentences!

Good night!

Farryn: "Member Mama, don't forget to say your prayers before you go to sleep!"

Me: "Okay Farryn, and remember don't forget to say your prayers too...pray for the little girl who doesn't have any toys!" (We use "the little girl who doesn't have any toys" as an example for those who are less fortunate...she's four years old so she doesn't really understand other than that.)

Farryn: (Pausing for a minute to think about what I just said...) "Well, actually, I think I'm gonna pray just for myself tonight. Good night Mama!

Because I'm a woman! (Part 2)

Getting ready for bed I go into her room to tuck her in.

Farryn: "Ah-ha! Gotcha you tupid lil fly!"

Me: "Oh Farryn, thats not a fly! Thats a mosquito hawk, they are good! You know those little mosquitos that bite you and leave those itchy bumps? Well these little guys eat those nasty lil bugs so they can't hurt you. They are like the mosquito police! Don't squash them okay Farryn."

Farryn: "Oh no, I didn't know that Mama. I'm sorry...but this one wasn't a good one, he was a bad mosq haux. You see sometimes there are good ones and sometimes here are bad ones. Just like dinosaurs, people... police men. (I look at her a little baffled) You know this Mama! Sometimes there are bad police men who pull you over when you don't do nothing wrong and sometimes there are good police men who catch the mean guys! They put their arms like this (imaginary handcuffs go on) and then they put them in the police cars and they take em to jail so those mean people don't hurt us!"

(Still baffled)
Me: "How do you know all this?"

Farryn: "Because I'm a woman!"

I know everything!

Farryn has been bugging me constantly for another dog. We have a labradoodle named Cullen, he should be enough but Farryn is having a Noah's Ark complex...two of everything! "Mama Cullen needs a girlfwiend! See this dog here (pointing to her book) this here is a good dog girl for Cullen. We should get this dog when we wake up from our naps. How that be?" I've said it over and over, "Our house just isn't big enough for a zoo! A dog, a fish and a stinky guinea pig is just enough!" Her response, "Well make the house big, feed it veg-a-tables make it really tall and big and strong and we will have plenty of woom! I know this, I know everything Mom...because I'm a woman!"

"Life's a garden...Dig it!"

Farryn: "Mama I wanna watch Doe Dirt!"

Me: "Doe? Are you sure its Doe Dirt Farryn and not JOE Dirt?"

Farryn: "Yeah, that movie that says (in her best crazy, unstable man impersonation) IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN!"

Networking Skills!

As I'm responding to messages on the business facebook page and getting to know some of my new potential clients on there Farryn asks me "Mama what are you doing?" My response: "I'm networking. Do you know what that is?" She said "Yep, I sure do! I do that all the time at my Dada's house." A little confused I asked "Really?" Her response: "Yep, The Cartoon Network!" God bless her!

Did you or did you not ask for "Quiet Time" Mama?

In a room filled with at least $400 worth of toys they pick the $.59 container of baby powder to play with...I asked for "Quiet Time"...I got it! We couldn't even be mad, we just shut the door and went back to folding the laundry. :)
