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!
Getting ready for school and the rubber band I used wasn’t holding well so we had to redo it cuz Evie’s hair was coming down. A little later, I noticed that her socks were sliding down into her shoes. I commented on them as she was climbing into my lap and she started laughing and said:
“My pants are coming down, too! It’s a ‘Pulling Down Party!!”
Nana – “No, I said Laughing Cow cheese.”
Evie – “Oh, I thought you said laughing couch cheese and I thought, ‘Nana, what are you trying to do to my brain?!'”
Evie – “Why did the rat cross the road?” (giggle, giggle, snicker, giggle)
Nana – “I don’t know. Why did the rat cross the road?”
Evie – (laughs uproariously) “Cuz he wanted donuts!!!”
Evie – “I thought I heard footsteps behind me when I came into your room!”
Nana – “It was probably a kitty.”
Evie – “No, it was human feet.”
Nana – “Ummm, maybe it was your mama. Was it your mama?”
Evie – “I don’t know. I don’t have eyes in the back of my head.”
Had to include a photo of herself and this is what I got when I said SMILE!
Evie and I have been anxiously waiting for Mom, Dad and Andy to come home. She just got up from where she was sitting, walked over to me and announced:
“I have to get ready for my little man!”
Which was cute enough but she continued talking about how she couldn’t wait to meet her little man tonight (I think she means greet cuz she’s already met him and she told me earlier she was in charge of greeting him when he got home). She is now putting on jewelry and lip gloss and stuff and then she said:
“I hope he likes me and thinks I’m glamorous!”
Evie -“I was watching a Zootopia video that led me to another video that was ZOOTOPIA CUTENESS!” I didn’t have any other face but this one to show. My smile got bigger and better!”
Dad – “He probably won’t pee on you unless you’re changing his diaper.”
Evie – “I DO NOT want to be in charge of that!”
The nurse came in to check on everyone and asked Evie what she thought about her new brother. Evie gave her two thumbs up. The nurse said something like ‘that’s it, that’s all you’ve got to say’ to which Evie replied:
“I’m so excited and speechless that that’s my only way of communication.”
Nana – “You don’t like the sound of his crying?”
Evie – “It’s not music to my ears!”
