Ramblings from Nora

Haven't done an update on the crazy toddler lately...these have been the funnies in the last month or so.

Story 1

"Mommy we need to go home"
Me: 'Why do we need to go home?"
"Cuz"

Jaw HIT the floor on that one! She sounded so grown up and isnt' even 2.5 yet.

Story 2

Rich and I were wrestling on the couch one Saturday morning...

Nora: " Daddy! Don't squish the mommy!!!"
Rich: (laughing) 'Ok baby, daddy won't squish mommy'
Nora: " No squish the mommy, you hurt that baby!'

She's told almost EVERY day to not squish the mommy tummy because she'll hurt that baby. Guess she's been listening and become the rule moderator on that one.

Story 3

"Mommy, I want two chicken nugget. NO more, no less"

HA! The character, Henry the penguin from Oswald says this ALL the time. Funny when you get it from the toddler. The best part is she puts up her little pointer finger and trys to be very serious.

Story 4

"Mommy, you need a food. I get fridgerator. You hungry, need the food. I get fridgerator. I be careful, get a plate.

One afternoon she just decided I needed food and was very serious in this conversation.

Story 5 - This one happened last night

Nora: "Daddy, look an airing port(airport). I see a plane! I fly the plane daddy. You come to my airing port?'

Rich: Yes, honey I'll come to your airport.

Nora: "I fly the plane, go high, go see Mimi far away!"

Rich: "That's wonderful Nora, Daddy would be ok with you being a pilot"

From here the conversation got detoured in the toddler thought process.

Nora: 'Oh no! There a ghost! Ghost get me!'

Rich: No the ghost won't get you honey, mommy's car has ghost proof glass. The ghost can't get in.

Nora: 'Ghost to big get in car, no get me, bonk the glass'

Rich: 'That's right Nora'.

Nora: 'Ghost fly but no wings. Daddy, plane has wings! You have wings daddy? You want to be a dragon.

Rich: 'No daddy doesn't want to be a dragon, it's not really his bag. Does the dragon breathe fire Nora or is it a nice dragon"

Nora: 'He nice dragon, my friend. Daddy, you be my friend? Mommy, you be my friend?'

Of course we answered 'yes'....melting our hearts with the innocence that was in the question.

Nora: You come my airing port, we fly plane high like dragon. Go vroooom,vroooom...(giggles)

This is the very edited version of about a 10 minute dialogue on planes, dragons, wings, friends, and ghosts. I told Rich these are the times I WISH we had a recorder in the car...such precious moments.

Other funny phrases:

'Oh dear, what happen to your bathroom' - when seeing the destruction for the first time.

'Yes siree'

OH yes!...when she agrees with something you are saying.

'No thanks'...she says it so nicely! And it can be 'no thanks' to the offer of dinner, a new diaper, going outside coloring. Let's hope this one sticks because how awesome would that be.

'Sister'...in response to us asking her what baby brother's name is. Of course we correct her but she's so adamant
