"Can you go get that, dear?" I asked Cowboy the other day. A 3 year old looked at me and asked, "Mom, why is daddy a deer?" She had just been hearing about deer hunting all weekend.



I was telling Cowboy how neat it was that I get to be a godmother. Paige says "Mo-om, you are NOT a fairy godmother!"



As I try to wake her up in the morning, she grabs the covers, rolls away from me and shrieked, "Mo-om, my eyes are not awake yet!"

We were at a craft fair and Paige found some pretzels. Gramma asked her if she had any money because she couldn't just take them. Paige fishes out the penny from her pocket and replies, "Yes." Gramma and Aunt Connie are suckers for big blue eyes acting cute and donated the $3 to the cause. Paige paid for them herself, and tried to give the lady her penny with the cash.

"Let's go shopping!" after our lunch break while out at the craft fail. That's my girl--she's a good shopper.

"Just walk away Mom"

Tonight we were all in the office, and Cowboy was messing with his coyote call as he was rummaging in his hunting stuff. He kept blowing on it and it hurt my ears so I said "stop it" several times to him as he kept doing it and smirking, being a boy. My very astute three year old senses my aggrivation and said, "Just walk away Mom!" and turned to leave the room.

I tried not to giggle in front of her, as she told me this yesterday at one point too. I quizzed her on this--and find out if someone makes you angry, you should walk away from them. I ask her if she has learned to walk away from people at Kim's house when they make her angry.

"Yes, when Kyler's being cranky, and won't share, I just walk away."

The simplicity and brilliance amazes me.

Overheard

The wit of my three year old never ceases to amaze me.



The current phrase that is over used is "of course." Such as, "of course I will be nice today" or "of course I want to eat this." Add the attitude and you feel like an idiot when she responds with the "of course" and the look.



Last night we were debating taking a bath and she tried to counter my offer! "If I take a bath tonight, I will quit chewing on my fingers." Cowboy burst into laughter at the comment and the look on her face because she knew she had won. She's been chewing on her fingernails constantly and I am constantly nagging on her to stop; so she knew that would push my buttons.



The adjective of 'super' is a regular and most things are "super beautiful" such as her new cowgirl belt which is all sparkly and shiny.



I think by the time she's older that she will have a better vocabulary than me. I better buy a word of the day calendar.

Overheard on Vacation

"It's sooo beauutiful"--Peanut said after we pointed out the Mall of America.



"Mom, why are you talking to the robot?"--after P. saw me talking to the drive up speaker at Dunn Brothers and McDonalds. Kudos to us that we don't frequent drive through restaurants--oh wait--that's because I live in a small town :)


"Mom, why are we going to uncle Donald's house?"--after P. heard me and Gramma saying we were getting breakfast at McDonalds. Apparently he's in the family now.


"AIRPLANE!"--about 17 thousand times whenever we saw an airplane flying over head during the last 8 days and 1,400 miles. There are a lot of airplanes that leave Minneapolis/St. Paul. A lot.



We arrived home a few hours ago from our vacation. Home and Daddy/Cowboy never looked so good. Its fun to be gone, but very nice to be home. More blogs and pictures to follow soon. I need to screen the 300+ pictures.

"(insert name) is my best friend EVER!" The names in this sentence have varied almost every day. Some of the people mentioned have been relatives, friends, or even strangers. The dog has even made it, so has the horse. I just think its funny that she has to say the 'ever' after it with such drama.

"What are you going to bring me?" She asked me when I told her that Daddy was going to take her to Kim's this morning because Mommy had to go to a meeting out of town. Apparently leaving town is just cause to buy a present. I am sensing someone is spoiled!

"I'm magical!" Told to us at any random time. One of the first times was when we were grocery shopping. No reason, she is just magical.

Crouched down in front of the dog--"Can you talk to me. . . .can you bark at me please?"

"That's sooo beauuuutiful!" Told to us also at any random time.

"I didn't puke today!" when picked up from daycare. She doesn't normally have this problem, but it was worth mentioning to me I guess.

"What?" as I clearly tell her something and she looks right back at me. I repeat the phrase. "What?" is what I hear again. She point blank listens to you but if its not something she wants to hear, she just says that and ignores me. Can't wait for the teenage years.
