We were driving to school and this happened.
Evie – “Wow, you don’t see that everyday!”
Nana – “You mean the man riding the bike in slacks and a dress shirt?”
Evie – “Yeah, that and it has a basket!!!”
This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!

Andy has been watching a lot of Super Why lately. We have magnetic letters on the fridge and Evie points to them and he calls them out. He recognized about 6-8 that she tested him on while I was watching. He’s still about a week or so away from a year and a half. I did a video to prove it on 1/31 but it was too big to upload, apparently. Since then, he’s not been quite as cooperative but yesterday I got a really good one of him doing like 5 in a row. It was too long, too! So I went back to the 31st video and trimmed it so it’s only 3 letters. But he can do a lot more.
Evie – “What is arithmetic?”
Nana – “It’s just a fancy word for Math.”
Evie – “Oooh, I like Math. I’m really, really good at it, too! Woooie, I get the heck outta Math!!”
Nana – “What are you doing wearing those boots in the rain?”
Evie – “Well, Nana, when you’re stuck inside, what’s better than a pair of warm, cozy boots?”
Came out of my room and said “Oohh, I smell Pasgetti!”
Evie yells from down the hall “What did she say? Pasgetti? We need to fire her!”
Evie – “When me and Mom went to Fry’s, she got me a root beer float cuz there was an employee in need.”
Nana – “Oh, so they were doing like a fund raiser to help an employee?”
Evie – “Yeah, and it helped two ways. One, it helped the employee get money. And two, it help me get a root beer float!”
Nana – “What the heck?!?” Why is it playing the same song again?”
Evie – “I don’t know. That was my wonder, too!”
Evie – “Ahhhh, it’s nice out here. It’s like a cup full of warm and a half a cup full of cold.”
Putting Evie to bed tonight and handed her her pony. The following conversation took place.
Nana – “Opps, sorry, you don’t want him upside down!”
Evie – ” Yeah, you don’t want to snuggle butt!”
Evie – “What’s that girl’s name. It reminds me of peanut. Oh yeah, Hazel!”
