Sweet Things from December

I'm behind on logging a few things...

The other night, Morgan squeezed me with all her limbs and said, "You're the sweetest Mommy, ever! I love you!" and it was very sweet.

Another morning, she woke up and said, "Mommy, I had a great dream!  I was a rain cloud and the farmers would call up to me when they needed rain for their plants and I would send down the rain and then the plants and vegetables would grow!"

She has also been quoting "Quack from Peep and the Big Wide World" saying, "And that, my friends, is how it's done!"

My Favorite Customer

This is another one I forgot to log...

A while back, I was making some cupcakes and while I was prepping everything, Morgan was busily working on something.  I asked her what she was up to and she said, "I am making you a 'Thank You' card for being the best baker EVER!"

Now, I know full well that my baking would not win any national prizes, but she is my favorite "customer" and her review is the most important one in the world, to me, and that just made me so happy!  

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...
