elise the quotable

Lately I have been writing down the hilarious things that come out of her mouth.  

If I don't write them down immediately I forget them and they are far to funny.  

Here's a few:

"the sun makes me so happy."

"you have a really big head, mom.  I have a little head."

['I love my sister' song was playing on our Barney CD in the car:]

"someday I could have a sister."

(break.my.heart.  someday, sweetheart.)

french braids are so cute from behind.   from the front she kind of looks bald.  

"I'm so happy I need a brownie."

"I roll in this blankie like a burrito.  I have a tail like Ariel!"

Lauren:  I'm going on vacation with you!

Elise:  hot diggity dog!

"I hiding"   okay buddy. 

"I walk like a pretty lady."

Me (to myself):  What day is it?  Is it Tuesday?

Elise:  It's not Tuesday - it's three-day!

"your car is so broken."

My car died in the middle of 28th St.  
Luckily my mom was around the corner and could come to our rescue.
Elise is watching my car be hauled to the mechanic.

In the bathroom at the new HomeGoods when several people could hear us:

"I pushing this potty out of my buns."

"I hear your potty coming out mommy"

"you wear your bathing suit bottoms?"

"those could be your panties!"

"you keep your panties dry too"

"I saw your buns mommy"

"you all done going potty!"

Our little seed planting project is going well!
Although I have no idea what to do next.  

what that could be, mom?

This post is a random combination of some happenings around here lately. Mostly the hilarious things that come out of Elise's mouth. 



At my mom's one afternoon - rubbing Pacey-the-tiny-dog's tummy.  Pacey is uh...pretty well-endowed for such a tiny dog.  
E:  [pointing at Pacey's uh...you know] What that could be Mom?
Me:  Um...that's how Pacey goes potty.
This was accepted and she went about her business.   

********
E:  Not need my potty seat anymore.  My buns soooooooo big. 

********
E:  Hurts so much.
Me:   What hurts Elise?
E:   My tummy and my forehead.

********
Randomly in kitchen:
E:  I have little boobies!

********
E:  Mommy help me build this road.  You are super strong.

********
While going potty:
E:  I go-ning potty.  You hear potty coming out.  I so fart.  
(fart = smart)
 
********
She is napping about every other day now.  She could easily go without but I love me some naptime.  We try almost everyday.  I usually leave her in there 45 minutes or so - she's not crying or anything just talking to herself.   Today I sat outside her room for a few minutes and caught this:

you have sweatshirt on!
that could be my size?
Rrrrrroar....lions waking up.
Horsies eat hay and apples.
(fake laughing)  hahaha I laughing.   
reach and pull, reach and pull.  I put my toes underwater.
Somebody get me out my bed.  Go downstairs mom!
I have baby hair.  Big hair?  Little hair! 
I'm so little just like a baby!  I'm so big! Little! BIG!  (more fake laughing)
Sings 'ring around the rosie' complete with jumping and falling.
No no no no nooooooo....
Not me sleepy anymooooore!
I need panties on!  Panties downstairs please!

So finally I go in. 
I'm so happy now.  Take tiiiiiny nap. 

******************

She makes me laugh all day.   She also makes me go into every public restroom in the greater Grand Rapids area.  You don't argue with a 2 year old who says she has to go potty.  The one time I don't I know I'll regret it.   It's exhausting.  Mostly she just sits there and says "try again pretty soon" and then we have to wash our hands "all by myself!". 
  

 Um - and look at how smart my kid is.   She did this totally by herself.  E-L-I-S...  I told her to make another E but she said "here's a circle for you Mom". 

sweet little sickie

Sweet Elise.  She has a bad cold and cough.  She was up every couple hours last night...little sweetheart.  

She wakes up crying and says "Need you, Mommy.   Not feel good."  

So I go in and give her a drink of water.  

Elise:  "This water taste so good."

Me:  "Do you want Mommy to rockie for a few minutes?"

Elise:  "Go back in my bed with Daisy"

Repeat a couple times.  

 This morning:  "Lay my cheek on this pillow watch Mickey.  Make me feel much better.  'Punzel blankie keep me warm."

Neither of us changed out of our pajamas all day.  By the end of the day (with a couple doses of Motrin) she was doing much better.  I should probably shower now. 

she says funny things

On the way to visit Aubrey [who had surgery on her arm]:

Elise:  'Ise Goote Mommy's happy friend.  Auntie Aubee's happy friend too. And Auntie WoWo.  And Ama too.  And Uncle Carl.  

Waiting to ride Sandy - the pony at Meijer:

Elise:  That little boy riding Sandy.  Almost my turn.  Thank you Mommy.  

Going into Costco:

Elise:  Find Ama!  Get Ama's medicine.  Help feel better. 

[Apparently we do this a lot more than I thought...]

Whenever she wakes up:

Elise:  Mommy come in my room!  Daytime now!  So happy watch Daisy!
Mommy pick up me go downstairs!

[Lately she's been waking up super early (like 5:30-6:30) - I just go into her room and tell her it's still nighttime, fix her blankets, and she goes back to sleep for at least another hour or two.  Some people are telling me this is not normal.] 

 We've been sorta bored lately.  My mom is gone for two weeks (in Hawaii - probably drinking something out of a coconut) so our main source of entertainment and free lunch is gone.   We busted out the tent where she likes to have picnics with Daisy.  Also all three (Elise, me, Nick) of us can fit in there.  It's hilarious.
