Lil tidbits -- summer fun!


Well, I don't have to tell you that we are LOVING OUR SUMMER!
We are having such fun and staying super busy outside in the beautiful, wonderful sunshine. We have been potty-training, doing lots of yardwork, swimming, and enjoying BBQ's with friends and family.
Lily is so great. She is Miss. Personality, Miss. Nice n Friendly, and (most) everything that comes out of her mouth either cracks me up or touches my heart! What's that you say? You need examples??? OK. Here goes...
1. Standing next to me, she starts squeezing herself around the waist and asks sweetly, "Momma, can you give me some love please?" And I obliged happily, of course.
2. While I was in the bathroom she walks in on me (like always), but this time she says "Momma, I'm gonna give you your pribacy" and leaves. She walked into the living room and I hear her tell Jay "Daddy, I really love my mommy."
3. Reading a Dr. Seuss book that says Go ask your mother: I ask her who her mother is and she replies, "Mommy, you're my mudda!"
4. Asks her bald daddy, "You got head, daddy? I got hair!"
5. Swimming in a friend's pool she splashes over to me and says "Are you happy, momma? I'm so happy. You make me soooo happy."
6. I'm in the bathroom again (sorry for all the potty talk) and Lily says "Good job, momma. Let it all out. You got more in there, or you all done?"
7. Yesterday at my parent's house for the "Father's Day" BBQ, Lily was loading her bowl with blueberries one by one and counting them IN SPANISH, up to 12! My mom said, I didn't know she could count that high in Spanish! And, neither did I, actually.
So, I'm blogging less cuz I'm inside less. But life is good over here!
Happy Monday everyone.

Glad you're enjoying summer! It was 95 degrees here on Saturday and Sunday -- a bit warm for my taste. ;) I love hearing about Lily's growing personality! Just when you think she can't get any cuter!!

Too sweet... she is so darling. It's so good you are documenting all of these sweet little things she says on your blog so you won't forget... although I'm thinkin' one day she might not appreciate the potty photo...lol
Happy Summer

For now, I have to do the running commentary with Search and Destroy, though I do crack myself up at times. Nothing like getting it from another source. It is so funny coming from our children. I can't wait. Thanks for the laughs.

Dannye said...

Pam said...

OK, I cracked up at number 6. Greg asked me if I was ok. It makes me think of Hannah when we go to the restroom out in public. I'm always afraid of what will come out of her mouth.

They do crack me up. Kids that is. They can say the funniest things and at the sometimes most akward moments. Ha ha. Enjoy your summer. We're heading to the pool today. We've had some pretty awful weather here already. High 90's and low 100's! G-d.

I'm adding you to my blog roll. I don't want to miss your little cutie pie.

Elizabeth said...

Your daughter is SO sweet. I love reading her little conversations. And the spanish. my son freaked me out one day when he also counted in spanish..... all thanks to DORA!

Mommy Spice said...
