Musings of a 3 year old

Today was a nothing day.  It was so nice to do absolutely NOTHING!  I sat on my front porch and read from my phone all day today.  While sitting outside, a thunderstorm rolled in.  E. (who is now 3 and lets everyone know that she just had a birthday) came outside and after hearing the thunder said, "That storm is a girl storm."  I said, "How do you know?"  She answered, with her hands around her mouth like she was shouting, "Because she said, 'I'm a girl and I want to talk to you!'"  :D

Earlier this morning, I was getting E. dressed for the day.  She didn't want to have her hair combed, so she ran into my room and said that Daddy told her that she didn't have to comb her hair today.  (He was already at work by this point and had not seen her before he left!).  I said, "No he didn't!"  She replied, in a fake deep voice, "Mommy, you don't have to comb E.'s hair today!" as if Daddy was telling me himself!  I cracked up, and still combed her hair!

Later today, she was running through the house, and she tripped and fell in the kitchen.  I picked her up and kissed her and soothed her.  I asked what hurt, and she told me her leg, or "weg".  I kissed her weg and she asked, "Is it broken?"  I told her it wasn't.  She asked, "Can I walk?"  I told her she could.  She got a look of horror on her face and asked, "Can I run?"  I laughed and said that she could, and so she wriggled out of my grasp and ran off, the fall completely forgotten!

Don't Learn Me!!!!

Today J. and I were playing Bananagrams.  E. decided that she wanted to play.  She started spouting off letters, even though some of them were incorrect.  I started grabbing tiles and seeing which ones she knew and which ones she didn't.  Finally, after getting quite a few correct in a row, she looked up at me and  said, "Don't Learn Me!"  And kept repeating it!
