Monday Moments #4

A Christmas figurine that I painted at my sister in law's house before she was my sister in law got broken this year. Talia decided to fix it with a glue stick...

"Look Momma, I fixed him!
With STICK GLUE!"


"I am called a fixer
Little girls can fix things, too.
I learned how!"

(then she hugs it, and the head pops off)

"Honestly, guy!"

Monday Moments #3

Talia, explaining to me the contents of a drawing:

"This is me, having my birthday,
and this is the thirty first number (Her birthday is January 31st),
and this is some boring stuff for you to do...
But not terribly boring.. you wouldn't mind if it's a little bit boring, right?"

Me: "When will I be doing the boring stuff?"
Talia: "When you're at Claire's house"

(Claire is someone that I Visit Teach), and Talia comes along. ;)

Monday Moments #2

If you missed last Monday's post, you just need to look at the post below this one to get an explanation about what "Monday Moments" is (apparently I wasn't a very good blogger last week!)

I'm going back in time for this week's quotes:

I made some picture schedules for Talia (one in each bathroom that has pictures showing the steps she needs to take- go potty, wipe, flush, wash hands) and one for the upstairs hallway that shows steps to take in the morning (wake up, potty, make bed, get dressed, underwear in laundry basket, hair, breakfast, brush teeth).

So, I showed them to her after her nap & she's very enthusiastic about it. We discussed the pictures in detail :) Then Ken went to the bathroom & Talia stood outside the door, saying "First you go potty, then you make your bed, then wipe your bum, then flush, then put your stuff in the basket!" lol I could hear Ken chuckling :) hehe



------------------------

The other night when Ken was saying goodnight to Talia, she said: "Well, if you would keep my door open I would appreciate it."

------------------------

A quote from my friend Jenn, who was one of Talia's nursery leaders at church: "Talia was hilarious in nursery today... during music time she was introducing all the kids to the music teacher but didn't know Leeah's name so she just made up a giberish one. So her."

Monday Moments #1

With two little girls like mine around, there are plenty of precious moments in our daily lives. Whether silly or sweet, they are all treasued moments. I'm sure that you can relate!

I love to write down the funny/cute things that my girls say & do (we'll have fun looking back at them someday!), and I thought it would be fun to share some of these treasured moments here, on the blog.

So, now for the first installment of "Monday Moments"...



Talia, discussing a time Ken put something on a cut that made it sting:"Nasty little Daddy! Nasty guy! But he's still useful."


Talia: (sings a song we haven't heard before & suggests we should sing it before bed sometimes)
Us: Where did you learn that song, Talia?
Talia: From Miss Piggy
Us: (wondering when she saw a muppet show.. maybe at Ken's parents' house?) When did you see Miss Piggy?
Talia: At church
Us: (wondering why anyone would show the muppet show at church) when?
Talia: Other days at the church
Us: Like not on a Sunday?
Talia: Uhh.. like lots of days!
Me: Like, in a movie?
Talia: No, in real life!
Ken: Like Miss Piggy, a puppet?
Talia: No, Miss Piggy FOR REAL!
Ken: Talia, Miss Piggy is a puppet, she's not real.
Talia: No, she's real!
Ken: Talia, pigs don't talk.
Talia: Yes, she does, she's REAL!
Ken: Talia, that's not true. You need to tell the truth.

(this goes on for a while, we are pretty confused, and then somehow Ken figures this out:

Miss Piggy = Sister Peggy

(Sister Peggy is the lady at church who comes into Nursery to teach the kids music).

LOL!!!

We were laughing for a while, remembering parts of that conversation, ie:

Talia, pigs don't talk.
Talia, Miss Piggy is a puppet.
No, she's REAL!!
