I'm bringing Wordful Wednesday to you early this time since I will be at a Leadership Training for the rest of the week. And have I got some cute ones! We went to lunch on Sunday after church. We never give Danica chips up front. We give her one at a time and at random so to encourage her to eat her sandwich. Every time she ate a chip, she would ask for another. So I told her she could have some chips, but would need to eat her sandwich, too. She responded with, "of course". And it wasn't said in an ugly way. She said it as to say, "don't worry, mommy, I won't forget." It was really cute!
When Danica and I go to her room to read books at night, I never shut the door. Sometimes Daddy will follow us because he and Danica are still chasing each other or he comes to help me get her settled. One night last week, though, Joe followed behind us after I announced it was time to read books and get ready for night-night. Just as we walked into the room, Danica turned around to meet Daddy at the door. "No Daddy, you can't come in here! Girls Only!" Is it that time already? Joe and I were talking about that again last night after he told me about the conversation he and Danica had on the way home last night. Apparently, Danica told him she liked rainbows, so he told her he liked rainbows, too. Danica responded with, "No, Daddy! You don't like rainbows, you like trucks". After Daddy told me about their conversation (and since she was sitting right there), I asked Danica if she was learning about girls and boys. She told me she was and repeated the rainbow/truck comment. So I asked her if she liked boys, and she answered with an abrupt, "No!". "Good", Daddy said. Oh Goodness...
I also think it's funny when Danica says she doesn't like something. Last night she told me she doesn't like lemons. When she said it, she made a squishy face, shook her head back and forth as to say no, and said, "I don't like lemons!" Her squishy face is hilarious, but super cute! I love it!
Danica folds her arms and pokes her lips out when she's mad now. When she talks in her angry voice, she uses her throat to make some sort of monster noise. She can't be serious, though. Before she even gets her thought out, she's laughing about the funny noise she's making. When she's ready to be serious, though, she says, "I'm not happy right now, Mommy". That's actually what I say to her when I'm not happy. She's reached the age where she turns everything I say right back on me. What a great opportunity to teach her the most appropriate way to communicate her emotions! Except when she tells me she is going to put me in time out, of course!
Have a good week!
