Wordless Wednesday (Spring 2012/2014)

That's What She Said

Grace:

Oh, I'm sorry. My mistake!

Anna, I'm trying to opercate here!

G: Mommy, we need to get out of the van, it stinks in here!
Me: Did you toot?
G: You did.

Look at all of our beautiful Easter decorations! - said to anyone who walks in our house lately.

Grace has also been experimenting with different fake laughs lately. Some of them are hilarious and we always end up laughing for real.

Anna:

DeeDee, weh ah you? - Gracie, where are you? (While playing hide-and-seek)

Me: Can I have a kiss?
Anna: Um, no Mommy.

Hi Mommy! Bangee! - This is the general greeting lately when I walk into Anna's room in the morning, said while she is pointing at her blankie that she threw out of the crib.

LENNAN! - said in a scolding, motherly tone whenever Lennan takes a toy from her. Often accompanied by a few smacks on the head. Sorry Lennan!

Hee I come!
Song, Mommy? - Love when she asks me to sing to her!
Look, Mommy!

Some of her latest new words:
Cup
Cracker
Nonny (Uncle Johnny)
Match (Uncle Matt)
Poop - I guess you gotta learn this one at some point, right? Not surprising that she learned it early considering she hears me or Grace ask "did you poop?" at least once a day. Anna has also started telling us when she's pooped - she'll walk up and say "poop! poop!" and when I say "Anna, did you poop?" she usually responds with an enthusiastic "Yeah!"
Supper
Hungee (Hungry) - She will try to sing the snack time song that we sing at Wee Bears!
Dowa (Dora) - we have another Dora fan in the house!
Ah-den! (Again!)

Marco Polo

Grace and Anna almost always have a bath together. We started this once Anna could sit up a bit in the bath seat and both of the girls love it. I've always given Grace the choice of having a bath by herself or with Anna, and she always chooses to have a bath with her sister.

After they're cleaned up and have had some time to splash around, I take Anna out first to get her dried off and into her jammies. This gives Grace a few minutes of extra playtime in the tub by herself while I'm just across the hall, literally just a few steps away from the bathroom. She knows not to stand up in the tub or try to get out, and I always talk to her while I'm in the other room with Anna. It was Brian's idea to play our own version of Marco Polo - I'll call out "Marco!" and Grace will answer "Polo!" so we know she's paying attention and isn't getting into trouble!

Anna has picked up on our little game and has joined in! As soon as I take her out of the bathroom, she yells out "Mahco!" and waits for Grace to yell back "Polo!" They keep this going until we go back to the bathroom to get Grace, it's so cute! 

In their favorite princess towels!
