Little Miss Chit Chat

While trying to get some overalls on Ava - "I don't want to wear oberalls...they hurt my nickels." - weird.

"I don't want to count backwards anymore, it hurts my arms. Let's dp the alphabet; that doesn't hurt my arms."

"Let's go home and get chocolate milk and twizzlers. That is two good ideas!" - we have lots of "good ideas" right now.

"If I have deer corn, I bet the deer will come up and eat it out of my hand!"

"SHHHH. Be quiet my baby is sleeping!" - Ava is loving her new baby doll.


These days, we have a constant stream of Ava chatter.  When watching tv, the closed captioning is a must. You just never know what she'll say! Such a big girl.

I'm going to have the set the scene on these entries. Ava talks nonstop, and just like an adult these days...so you never know what you'll hear!

While up at the in-laws, the Schwans man arrives for an order/delivery. He is in the kitchen with Grandpa, Ava and I are in the living room coloring.

Ava: "Someone's with Gampa! Who is it?"
Me: "It's the Schwan's man."
Ava: "Oh I want to go see them." She gets up and heads that way, only to quickly return and loudly say "I don't like the Schwans man, he's yucky! I like you. But Gampa likes the Schwans man."
Me: "Ava, be quiet!"  -- opps.


A couple weeks ago, Ava was struggling with bedtime. So we started singing her a night-night song and saying a night-night prayer, while rubbing her back. It worked like a charm. Ava has QUICKLY picked up all the words to both the song and prayer and does them with us each night. Adorable, and smart!

Night-Night Song - from what Wynston remembers from an old Golden Book movie he watched as a kid:
Day is done, Little One
Close your eyes now sweet dreamer
Up above, is a light (actual lyric: Every star, is a light)
Watching over you tonight!

Night-Night Prayer - this prayer was in a needlepoint that hung in my bedroom as a child.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
May angels watch me through the night
And wake me with the morning light.
Amen.

Yep, she's a sweetie!

"It's a hickey nut!" - showing her grandparents some hickory nuts she'd collected from the yard.

"Sometimes I slip on bananas! Sometimes YOU slip on bananas too!" - said with a very enthusiastic nod

"I just need to go to the doctor and get the puke out" - stated during an especially stuffy week of allergies

"I need the daddy named Wynston" - requested while outside with just us three...no other daddies around.

Mommy: "Ava, who's the boss?"
Ava: "Not Andre. Aunt Carly is the boss. Not Mommy or Daddy. Aunt Carly is the boss."

"It's a crawdad and I KILLED it!" - take note, this kid will kill a crawdad on sight! Not what we were expecting.

Little girl at the park: "Do you want to be my friend?"
Ava: "No." - Stone cold toddler.

Mommy: "Are you hungry Ava?"
Ava: "Of course I am!!"

"My favorite color is black!"

"Don't talk to Mom, Dad!"

These days there isn't a lot that Ava can't/isn't saying. She cracks us up daily. And like all moms and dads, we often find ourselves saying "I want to remember this, but I'm afraid I'll forget what she just said as time goes by". So...I'm going to capture some of Ava's interesting sayings here on the blog.

I just have a few to start with:

• "Look Mom...I'm swimming like a mermaid!" - said while "swimming" in her bathtub.
• "I like your pretty hair" - note that the word hair can be replaced by a number of other things, like shirt, eyes, glasses, shoes, etc. Girlfriend pays attention to the details. :)
• "Dad, you have a mustache. It's not hair, it's a mustache."
• Mommy: "Ava, what did you eat at school today?", Ava: "Dragons"
• "May I can go to gymnastics today?!", said every day of the week

Little Miss defnitely has a growing imagination. I've also noticed that she now tries to sing along to the radio on songs she doesn't know. She can pick up a chorus like no other! :)
