that's my girl

Someone has been sick in our house every single day for about 3 weeks. But now we are FINALLY over it all, and by now we should be immune to every single virus in the whole entire world.

Here is just a teeny, tiny glimpse into a day in our life lately. If you take this and add about 855 similar toddler conversations, and then imagine Leah saying "Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? What did you say?" approximately 9642 times, you will have practically spent the day with us!

At home...
Daddy: Who's birthday is coming up, Leah?
Leah: Mommy's and Giggle's
Daddy: Is my birthday coming up too?
Leah: Nooooo.... Your birthday is aaaaall finished!

In the car...
Mommy: Oh look Leah its starting to rain! Who made the rain?
Leah: Gawd made it!
Mommy: That's right! What else did God make?
Leah: Mommy. Daddy. Beans. Leah. Cups. Cars. Grass. Ketchup!!

At the aquarium...
Daddy: Look at that pretty bird! Isn't that a pretty looking bird?
Leah: Its a toucan, Daddy!
Daddy: (speechless...thinks his child is a prodigy...until he learns that she's seen toucans before)

At Hobby Lobby... (to a total stranger in the ribbon aisle)
Leah: Hi!!
Friendly Stranger: Well hello to you! How are you?
Leah: Do you see my Mickey Mouse ribbon? My daddy doesn't wear ribbons in his hair. That's silly. Mommy wears ribbons and Leah wears ribbons and Bibby and Giggle Giggle.
Friendly Stranger: I see. Don't you have alot to say?

Yes, Friendly Stranger, she has ALOT to say. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my days!

Wish I could record every cute (as well as insolent) remark to play again and again as she gets older. She keeps me laughing even when I should not smile at her antics. It's Deja vu for me, sweet Abby. I love every moment with you precious, precocious girls.
