Anna says...

I've been trying to remember some of the cute things this girl says lately. I can't believe how much she talks and talks and talks!! I didn't realize how well a 22 month old communicates, holy cow! She makes sentences and lets you know what she wants. Here are a few of the things she has said lately...

• Don't look at me mom, I naked
• Mom, I awake now. Gimme out! (When she is calling to get out of her crib)
• Get me mom (or dad)
• Look at me
• Did you see that?!?
• Mom, you look pretty (I had just gotten out of the shower and blow dried my hair all frizzy. I was still in my robe...not looking pretty at all!!)
• No way!
• Don't!!
• I need that
• I silly
• Shaun said "I love you Anna," and she said "yeah, too much"
• She sings "Happy Birthday Kyle" (My brother-in-law) all day long, especially in the shower
• When asked if she had a good nap or sleep, she always says yes, then when asked what she dreamed about she always says "yellow cheese"
• She told me to "shut-up" the other day, I guess we need to watch what we say more closely.
• When asked "who drinks Mtn. Dew" she says "grown ups"
• Every time we drive past the church she says "I don't want to go to church mom."
• I hiding
• If she does something naughty (like throw her food on the floor), as soon as I yell Anna!! She looks at me and instantly says "I sorry mom."
• I want CANDY!!! (This girl LOVES candy)
• The co-co man is coming (like the Boogey Man)
• When I do her hair "I look pretty mom"
• If the sun is shining in her eyes, "So bright, so bright."
• She will get the thermometer or a fork and put it under her arm and say "Take temperature"
• She is very good at saying "Please" and "Thank you"

These are just a few of the things she says, I need to be better at writing things down. They grow up way too fast, so far I have loved every minute of it. Here are a couple funny stories (at the time I didn't think it was too funny though) that she has done recently.

• I had just gotten Anna out of the shower (our bathtub is not currently working) and she was hanging out in her diaper. I was on the phone in the back bedroom. Anna comes running in and grabs my hand and is saying "poo poo on table mom". She said it several times as she tried pulling me into the living room. So I followed her out and saw she had been telling the truth. She had gone to the bathroom in her diaper and then taken it out and put it on the glass coffee table. (Thankfully she didn't make a mess with it) After another shower, cleaning and scrubbing and telling her over and over that poo poo goes in the toilet or in her diaper I think she got the picture.
• We went to Wal-Mart to get some groceries, Anna would not sit in the cart so I let her down so I could get some apples. Next thing I know she has 3 tomatoes in her arms and she starts bowling them down the isle. As soon as I start after her she turns and grabs more and started throwing them. So, be sure to wash your produce before you eat it. You never know what grimy kid has played with it.
• I was going over to the church for Super Saturday with the Relief Society, Shaun was raking leaves over at the church so I took Anna to play in the nursery until one of us got done. As we were pulling into the church parking lot she says "no mom, I don't want to go to the temple today, I don't want Jesus". I told her well we are going to the church, not the temple and today is Saturday so you don't have to learn about Jesus until tomorrow.
