Sweet Song

Morgan was making up a song after bath and I thought it was so sweet...

Mommy's love, Mommy's love
She's with me all day
Mommy loves me
Daddy takes me to the park
I got to sleep all night
And Mommy and Daddy are in the other room (I always tell her that we're just next door, in the other room)

Problem Solving

I was putting Morgan to bed and she said I needed to get in the crib with her.  I told her that I was too big for the crib and she said "figure it out!"  Ha, she's trying to encourage me to develop my problem solving skills.

Baby Legs

My dad tried to get Morgan to put on a pair of Baby Legs, with her dress and she said she wouldn't wear them, because they're "for little babies".  Aw, my big girl...  I think I need to explain that they're just called Baby Legs, but just about anyone can wear them. ;)

In my day, it was Mary Kay...

Morgan saw a hot pink car, on the road, today, and she said, "Look, it's a pink car, like Taco Cabana!"

I told her that was funny and then she saw a pink balloon and said, "Look a Taco Cabana pink balloon!" and she cackled.

Questions

In the car, going to Rolling Oaks Mall:

Me: Do you see the white domes?

Morgan: Yes, I see them! ... What is a dome?

Me: It's a shape.  It's part of the structure of the building.

Morgan: What is a "stuchur offa building"?

Me: Um, see this part of the building?  It has a triangle shape, and that is part of the structure.

Morgan: But what is a structure?

Me: Oh, look, we've arrived at Dillard's!

Naked Face

Morgan stripped down to her pull-up to get ready for jammies and she said, "I have naked arms, naked legs, naked feet...and a naked FACE!"

She Loves Dolly

We got home from my parents' house and Morgan picked up Dolly off the floor and said, "I was at GrandDaddy's, but now I'm back.  I missed you!  I love you, Dolly!"

Brushing teeth in space is hard...

Morgan and I were pretending to be in outer space, and I told her I needed to go brush my teeth, real quick.  She said, "No, Mommy, you can't brush your teeth, because you're in space and your toothbrush and toothpaste are too far away..."

So, I had to land the spaceship, so I could brush my teeth...

That is sweet

I said, "sweet dreams" to Morgan, last night, and she said, "I'm going to dream about cookies, cake and cupcakes!"

Callbacks

We put Morgan to bed and she calls us back several times and we call these "callbacks".  She had called me back for the umpteenth time and I said, "you keep calling me and calling me, what do you need?"  She said, "I only called you three times," and I said, "no, you've called me more like 7 times," to which she replied, "SEVEN?? That's A LOT...1,2,3,4,5,6,7!"

Really?

Morgan kept us up most of the night, calling for me, trying to get out of bed, etc.

Then, this morning, she crawls in my bed, pulls up the covers and says, "I'm going to sleep, so don't call me."  I said, "what??" and she said, "Shh! Don't be loud, I need to sleep!"

Ooooh, there is a reason they are ridiculously cute! ;P

No Nap!

We went to McKenna this morning, and I was putting Morgan down for nap.  I thought all was well, and went to go take a little snooze, myself.  I glance up at the monitor and I see her undoing the clasps on the bedrail and sliding out of the crib.  I meet her in the hallway, just as she has opened her door.  (She was previously unable to twist the doorknob.)  She said, "I opened my 'cage', got out of the crib and opened the door and I'm NOT taking a NAP!"  (She was pretending she was a kitty in a cage, by the way...we do not put her in a cage...)

I tried to convince her to nap, but to no avail.  She saw the disappointment on my face and asked, "Mommy, are you happy?"  I said I was happy, but I was a little tired.  She said, "But, Mommy, I just love you!" and she gave me a big smile.  I love that little Stinker!

Chuck E. Cheese Says!

We were at CEC, today, and Morgan was riding the merry-go-ground.  At the end of each ride, Chuck E.'s voice says, "how about another try?"  Morgan had gone around a few times and I asked her if she wanted to play something else and she said, "but Chuck E. says I need to ride, again..."  I told her that he says that every time, but that she didn't HAVE to go around, again, and she said, "oh, OK, let's go ride the helicopter!"

Good thing I said something or we might have been there all day! (Just kidding...)

What?

Greg and I were talking about his day at work, and Morgan asked what we were talking about.  I told her we were talking about Daddy's work, and she said, "what does Daddy do at work?"  Greg said he worked with computers, and Morgan said, "what is a computer?"  (She knows what a computer is...)  I said, "you know, like the computers in the computer room.  I said, "Daddy is a Java Programmer" and she said, "WHAT? What is a program?"  I tried to explain that programs tell the computer what to do and you can use programs to look at pictures, play games, etc.  I told her that Java was a programming language and she said, "what's a language?"  and I said, "English is a language" and she said, "what's English?" and I said, "we speak English" and she said, "what's 'speak'?"  She was toying with me! ;)

It's Tiring Being a Toddler

I told Morgan she needed to come with me to get a fresh Pull-Up.  I was calling her from her room and she was in the living room and Greg told her to go in her room, and she sat down in her chair and said, "No, I've been playing today and I'm too tired, and I need a little rest."

Comby Island

I gave Morgan a Hello Kitty comb and she asked what it was and I said it was a comb, and she said, "Oh, it's a comb...a comby, like Comby Island!"  I said, "Oh, I think you mean Coney Island...She looked at me like, "sure, whatever..."
