Nana – “Wow, you couldn’t even keep up with Nana thru one thrift store!”
Evie – Heavy sigh, “I know. I don’t get very much exercise.”
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!
Nana – “Wow, you couldn’t even keep up with Nana thru one thrift store!”
Evie – Heavy sigh, “I know. I don’t get very much exercise.”
Evie – “Last night me and Mama and Dada were watching these two…coochicoos….”
Evie – “I asked Mama if you could go to dinner with us and she said ‘I don’t see why!'”
Nana – “You can’t have 4 favorites.”
Evie – “Aaawww!”
Evie – “And Nana, also what I would like for Christmas is a sleep mask.”
Nana – “Maybe we can stop by Walmart and pick up one of those hootchicoos.”
Evie – “How did you know that’s what it was called?”
Evie – “Nana, watch how fast I can dizzy!”
Evie – “Since I was soooo patient while you got your hair cut, that means I could go every time, right?”
Evie was sitting in my chair playing with her tablet. Out of the blue, she says:
“Nana, is why I like to go outside is to get some fresh air. We been in the house like a million, gazillion times. I’m gonna leave my headband here so it doesn’t blow away!”
Then she walked out of the room.
Evie’s new room is considerably darker with the purple curtains. Mama had to go wake her up this morning (after her first night in the room) so she wouldn’t sleep too late and end up going to bed too late. When Mama woke her up, she looked around and said:
“Go back to bed, Mama. It’s still too early!”
It was around 11 a.m.!
