Typical Conversation with Alex

Lastnight Alex was all settled down in bed, watching her partoons, as Alex calls them. Daddy is playing Modern Warfare in the living room and Im in our bathroom getting ready for bed. Alexandra's routine every night is to get up about 3-4 times to use the bathroom so it was normal to hear her opening and closing the doors. But this time I hear a lil voice:

Alex: Daddy, I have to go potty in Mommas bafroom
(I hear lil foot steps running towards the room. Alex opens door)
Alex: Momma, I pee in your potty
Me: Ok, thats fine baby doll
Alex: (As she is sitting on the potty) Momma, 'morrow I eat stawberries?
Me: Yes you may
Alex: Mmmm..I looovveee stawberries! (as she is rubbing her belly) Momma, can I take a baf 'morrow?
Me: Yes you can take a bath. Well, how about a shower?
Alex: Take a baf and shower wif you?
Me: Yes you ...
Alex interrupts and within 1 breath: Momma, 'morrow I eat stawberries and go outside. And Momma 'morrow I go AmyMelissa's and 'morrow I pway wif Allson. She my best fwiend. and 'morrow the Easer Bunny come to my house an I pet him and 'morrow I eat dinner and 'morrow I go to the Pwincess Castle when it get warm. Okay Momma?

This Kid Cracks Me Up!

So Alex has been saying some pretty funny things. I try to remember to write them down, but tend to find myself hearing her when I dont have a pen and paper. So going by memory (what lil I have)...
She comes home from school one day telling me she has a pink eye because her friend at school went home with pink eye. She continues to tell us her eye is pink.
She comes home from school one day telling me her tooth is gone. She continues to tell us randomly out of the blue "I have, I have, I have to find my tooth. Its gone". Her friend lost a tooth at school.
She comes home from school yesterday telling me her friends arm is broke. He fell down the stairs. I asked her what happened.
Alex: "(Insert kids name here) bwoke him arm. He fell down stairs at him home"
Me: "Oh he did? Is he okay"
Alex: (in a sad but high tone) "Yeeeeeaaa...he bwoke it. He bwoke him arm. My arm bwoke."
Me: "Your arm is not broke. You didnt fall down"
Alex: "My arm bwoke, Momma"

Notice a pattern? Yes, whatever kids at school are experiencing, she is experiencing, so she wishes.

One Friday evening she asks me if she can stay home with me tomorrow. I tell her "Tomorrow and Sunday you and I will hang out all day. You dont have to go to school."
Now she tells us "I want to go to Princess Castle 'morrow and Sunday" "I want eat icecream 'morrow and Sunday" "I want to play with my fwiends 'morrow and Sunday" "I want to go to the doctor 'morrow and Sunday" ... and the list goes on...

If she sees kids playing outside:
Alex: "Them my fwiends and my fwiends love me".
Me: "Oh really. What are their names?"
Alex: "Sam and Missy and Poopey-Butt and Butt-crack (she then giggles)"
Me: "Those are not their names silly"
Alex: "Yes they are. Them my fwiends. I need, I need, I need to go see them. They want to play with me"

When excelerating in the car, she will ask "Momma are we wacing?". She thinks I am racing another car. And now her new game in the car is to yell the color of the light at the intersection..sometimes she will tell me the light turned green when it really hasnt yet, just so I will excelerate so she can then ask "Momma are we wacing?"

In the car we like to sing to songs on the radio. The song by Black Eyed Peas called "Imabe" is my newest favorite. Alex things they are saying "Bumblebee". At the end of the song when the guys voice is getting lower, Alex will sing "Bumblebee" in her lowest voice. If I dont sing the song in the correct tone, she will say "No Momma, sing like this...Bumblebee Bumblebee".

Bugs!

If some remember a couple of years ago we grew caterpillars that eventually turned into butterflies. We released them in the back yard. Last year we had two tadpoles that never turned into frogs. Keeping them for a year, they were released into our pond. This year we have ordered praying mantises! Im so excited. The praying mantis kit should be arriving within 2 weeks with an egg case that contains 75-200 growing eggs and a netted house. Praying Mantis has moved from my second favorite bug to first favorite bug, taking the place of the lady bug.
Ill keep you posted on our praying mantis babies!
