Funny Things

We all know that kids just have a way of saying & doing the funniest things. Many times we wonder where they come up with things and others we know exactly where they learned it!

I've been meaning to record some of the funny things Addie has said and done recently. Her vocabulary is continually expanding and I am constantly amazed at the things that come out of her mouth!

Here are just a few that I can remember right now....

Addie: Mom, you know what?
Me: What?
Addie: I'm fourteen.
Me: No, you're not fourteen, you're two.
Addie: Oh.
A few minutes later she comes running back in my room...
Addie: Mom, you know what?
Me: What?
Addie: I'm fourteen (with a big sheepish grin on her face).
Me: only chuckles can come out of my mouth at this point!

I am constantly hearing, "Mom, I have an idea."

The other night we stopped by my parents house to drop some things off. They were not home so I used the garage door keypad to get in. Addie just stayed in the car because we were just stopping by quick. It took me multiple times doing the code (it has major trouble in the cold weather) before I finally got it open. I took my stuff in and came back out and tried to use the keypad to shut it. After multiple failed attempts, I finally hit the button in the garage and ran out. When I got back out to the car, Addie looked at me and said, "Mom, it needs new batteries." I just laughed wondering how in the world she knew this!

One day we were at Target. She was sitting in the front part of the basket waiting to check out. All of a sudden she looks at me and says, "Mom, I need to tell you something" at the same time she's telling me this, she's using her 2nd finger to gesture for me to come closer. (We definitely know she got this from me- I'm always telling her to come over to me because I have to tell her something). She then said to me, "Mom, I need to tell those kids something" and leans towards them gesturing and saying, "Kids, come here, I need to tell you something". Silly girl.

Apparently, she thinks all letters are called Letter B's. Most of the time when she sees letters on something, she either says, Look! It's the Letter B's or she starts singing her ABC's. We took some of our alphabet magnets to my moms the other day and accidentally left them. This morning she came over to me and said, "Mom, where's my letter b's?" Guess we need to work on the letters a little more.

Tonight she came over to me and out of the blue said, "Oh no Mom! I almost forgot my boots upstairs!" I almost forgot? I don't think she even knows what that means!?

She has taken an interest in Winnie the Pooh recently. For some reason, she refers to Tigger as Cougar. No matter how many times I correct her- tigger is still called Cougar.

The other night we were at Target and she found those plastic candy canes that they fill with M&M's or Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Next thing I know, I look down and she's got one in each hand and she's bent over walking up and down the aisle with them as canes. It was hilarious. I wish I had a camera.

Addie has entered the nose picking stage of life. She constantly has her finger up her nose picking at it. One night, a few hours after she'd gone to bed, I heard her yelling. I turned up the monitor and I hear her saying, "Dad! Come get my bug!" several times. I finally went up to check on her and she was laying there with a bug from her nose in between her fingers- waiting for us to come get it.

Alright. I've bored you enough for one night. Hopefully I can stay on top of these from now on and post them as they happen.
