The moment she wakes up ... practically before she has even opened her eyes she blurts out : "I had a good dream. Not even a nightmare. Me and Jace were playing and then I started flying." That sounds fun. "I think a fairy must have snucked up behind me and sprinkled me with pixie dust." Then she ran off into the kitchen to get a cinnamon sugar toastie for breakfast.
About 2 hours AFTER she was supposed to be asleep in bed: "I CAN'T go to sleep without brushing my teeth ... I'll turn into the tooth troll." alrighty then - I don't her to turn into a tooth troll but I would like some sleep myself.
While changing her clothes (I'm sure for the 10th time that day) she runs out into the living room topless, covering her chest with her hands and yells: "Jace is trying to look at my niblets!! Niblets are boo boos, mom." thanks for teaching her that one, Craig. I'm blaming you. She is constantly running around the house naked telling me that everyone is trying to look at her private parts.
Hopefully she grows out of it.
As I'm driving her home from preschool: "Uncle Justin is one of the handsomest guys I know. I think I miss him." later she added "I am a little shy of him because he is SO handsome."
After whipping up some easy mac n' cheese for lunch: "Mom, you are the bestest cooker in the whole world AND in this house." thank you Brooke.
While in the jogger on the way to pick up Jace from school: "Sand sandwiches would be too crunchy to the taste. Yeah, they would be gross." I seriously wonder what goes on in her head.
At Jace's t-ball practice while I was taking her to the bathroom. There were tons of people around because there was another game going on so I made her hold my hand .. which she was opposed to: "STOP holding my hand you stranger!!" Everyone around me glared at me like I was a kidnapper or something. Super embarrassing. She got a talking to in the bathroom.
The morning Nani & Grandpa left after staying with us for a week. She came inside to an empty house after being picked up from preschool, pouted around, then in her angry voice said: "Ya know what I HATE!!" what? "I HATE when Nani & Grandpa go home."
Last Friday after dropping Jace off to school we came back and climbed into bed to wake up daddy. She went to go get her elmo medicine bag and was playing doctor on both Craig and I. She was giving Craig some medicine because according to her analysis he was very sick. She pretended to open up her imaginary medicine bottle and she placed something down on the bed. Craig quickly grabbed the pretend medicine and gobbled it down. She looked at him annoyed and said "Dad." "You just ate the lid." shaking her head and rolling her eyes ... "Now you're going to be REALLY sick." Craig and I looked at each other and started cracking up.
Whenever we are in the car she sings whatever is the most recent song she has learned at either sunbeams in church or at preschool. Lately she has been singing : "There was an old lady that swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die." Repeated 40 times because she only knows the first verse. It drives Jace crazy. Yesterday after we dropped Craig off at Thunderbird she started singing it again and Jace freaked out yelling "Shut up!! You sound like a dying cat!" she started crying and in between sobs said: "Mom, Jace just broke my heart into a million pieces." it was so sad but so funny. I love that she sings wherever she goes and that she is so happy but you can only take so many repeats of There was an old lady that swallowed a fly.
While getting ready for school. - Brooke are you feeling okay this morning? You weren't quite yourself last night. "Yup... I'm all better. My tummy hurt last night and it made me not talkable." Yeah, I noticed you weren't too 'talkable' last night. lol - Usually she's chatty cathy ALL the time and when she's quiet she's either doing something naughty or asleep but she was just really quiet last night. It was odd.
Every other minute: "I'm firsty. (I'm thirsty)" go get a water bottle out of the fridge "mom, you know I ONLY like tasty drinks." She is ALWAYS thirsty but I rarely can get her to drink water unless it is a last resort and there is nothing else left in the fridge. She will cart around a gallon of milk or the orange juice container until I fill up a cup for her. Her favorite is still chocolate milk.
As I'm writing this post: "I'm a gum gobbler!!!" "Where do you think you are hiding that gum!?!" That will remain a mystery because she has not been following the 'gum' rules and I've been finding it in the carpet.

Too Cute! Jenny and I were laughing about how different Jace and Brooke are - kind of like how Jenny and Justin were so different and the books they wrote in 1st grade were so funny. I miss that little girl!! Tell her the next part of the song says There was an old woman who swallowed a frog, she swallowed the frog to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed the fly. perhaps she'll die.
That is funny! What a silly little gum gobbler. I have a few of those as well. ;) I have to keep hiding the treats in different spots so they can't find them. Mom, the next verse is actually There was an old woman who swallowed a spider that wriggled and squiggled and giggled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly... ect. She actually never swallows a frog mom. lol. LOve you guys!
Whoops-forgot the spider. Too many years since I was singing this song! I was just trying to think of something that ate flies.
Niblets. LOL!
Oh, how I miss this girl!
