Little Feet

I was cleaning up some papers on my desk and found something Morgan said from a while back that I realized I never wrote down:

"My bladder told me I had to go pee pee, so I ran as fast as my little feet could carry me!"

I hope she won't mind too much, when she's older, that I wrote these things down, but they are just too cute!   My apologies to future Teenage Morgan, but you are only 3, now...it is perfectly natural for you talk like this!  :)  You have a mother that loves you so very much and I know that can be terribly embarrassing, but OH WELL, what can you do?

A Grand-moth-er Story

Lately, Morgan has been telling me all these stories from many months ago and this one was particularly touching, from 7 months ago...

She said...

Mommy, I have to tell you something AMAZING!  Mommy, I was with Grandma, and I sat really, really still and the most AMAZING thing happened...Do you know what happened?  A moth landed on me!  

She was so animated telling this story and I thought it was the most beautiful thing.  I remembered that I had a picture from that visit to the country house, when they were blowing bubbles on the porch.  I thought it was just so sweet, to hear her remembering a time spent with Grandma that she brought up completely on her own.  I told her that it was an AMAZING and beautiful story. :)

 

Crispy Heart, Soft Heart

Morgan was eating a bowl of Erewhon Gluten Free Crispy Brown Rice and she came running up to me and said, "Mommy, Mommy, this 'crispy' is shaped like a heart!"  Then, she showed it to me, gave me a sweet look and said, "I love you, Mommy," and she gave me a huge hug!  *heart melt*

At least she's honest...ish...

I was making cake balls, today, to try out a recipe for her upcoming birthday.  She wanted to have one with dinner and I told her I would put one on her plate, but she would have to eat all her dinner, FIRST, before she could eat it, to which she said:

"I always do what you tell me...Well, not really...Only because you're baking me something..."

Ha! At least she was being honest, in her own way...

I guess my work is done, here...

I wanted to have a little talk with Morgan about a fit she pitched last night, when she wanted milk in the middle of the night...

I started telling her about it and she walked away and I asked her to come back and she said, "I already know everything, Mommy..."

I thought to myself, "Ha, well, I guess my work is done, here..."

I told her, "OK, well, if you already know everything, then why don't you go ahead and tell me what I was going to say..."

She paused for a minute and blinked at me and said, "You were going to tell me a little more about what you were going to say..."

Uh, yeah, that's the ticket...

Sweet Pea

I was in the bathroom and trying to convince Morgan to go see her Daddy in the living room, so I could go to the bathroom, alone, but she didn't want to leave.  I said, "can't Mommy go potty by herself?" and she said, "but Mommy, I worry about you and I love you.  When I don't see you, I miss you."  I had to finish up, wash hands, and give her a big hug for being such a sweetie.  She was just so serious about not wanting to be away from me and I felt so bad for even asking her.  I know it's not the healthiest thing, but it was a very touching sentiment, nonetheless.

GrandMommy's Favorite Gift Ever

Copied from Facebook:
Morgan made this "drawing" for my mom, who cannot see, so she can feel the jewels...she placed the jewels all by herself! :) It's a picture of my mom's bird with an egg and a sparkly sky. My mom said it was the best present she ever received. *sniff* :)
