Hearing Difficulties

As I was in the kitchen, making cupcakes in ice cream cones for VBS tonight, I heard Breanna from all the way across the house say in a sort of sassy voice, "You have a tummy!"  

These thoughts raced through my head:  "Where did she pick up commenting on things like that?"  "Did she mean to be hurtful to Katelyn?"  "I need to have a talk with her about not pointing out physical things like that."  "Katelyn really doesn't have a big tummy anyway.  Besides, she's only 4!"  "I'll have to tell Katelyn she's perfect just like she is."

Then I realized she actually said, "You have a tardy."  Guess Katelyn was late for her class.

Chatterbox


At dinner today, Shane Gray said it's like someone flips a switch on Breanna and she can't stop talking. This is true - at every single mealtime - but also at bedtime. While laying with her in bed, I heard the following, among many other things:

"I wish there was another Hello Dolly movie."

"It would be cool if Daddy could be half dolphin. Then we could ride on him in the water all the time, and he could be a dolphin if he wanted to, and then he could make the tweeting sound and change back into Daddy."

"Hey, look! I made an "e" with Bunny's ears!"

There were more, but I can't remember them all...

It's like "Squirrel!" And I finally had to get up and leave because she was making me laugh, and she needs to GO TO SLEEP!!!
