Go-Go Mommy

My 30 days: 14

Today's Poppyisms:

"Oh, I'm so excited!" (pronounced x-kited)

"Mommy, you're not going to believe this..."

(Singing) "Felice mommy hop." (instead of "Feliz Navidad")

"Daddy, do you have a blanket at work like I do?" (referring to her security blanket,
known as the "soft blanket" that goes everywhere with her)

"Mommy (or Daddy), I need some love."

Daddy: "Hey look at those guys over there. I think they work for Facebook."
Poppy: "They look like the Jonas Brothers."

(Did I mention she's not even 4 yet?)

Daddy, I want chili today!

Poppy: Daddy, I want chili today!

Daddy: That sounds great. I haven't made chili in a while and today is the perfect day for it!

One shopping trip and about 9 hours later:

Daddy: Who wants to have the first taste of the chili?

Poppy & Mommy: I do! I do!

Daddy: Okay Poppy, you've been such a good girl today you can have it.

(Daddy hands out spoons and puts some chili into a bowl. He lowers the bowl for Poppy to dig in with her spoon first.)

Poppy: What?! That's NOT chili!

Daddy: Yes it is.

Poppy: NO it's not - it's soup!

Mommy: Honey, that's daddy's famous chili. (Taking a taste.) It's very yummy!

Poppy: Well I don't want it.

Daddy: But this is what you asked for this morning.

Poppy: No, it's not.

Mommy: Wait a minute everyone. Poppy, what does chili look like?

Poppy: It wiggles and jiggles!

Back to the drawing board - anyone have any jello mix handy? hee hee

Remember when...?

Fun lovin', sometimes heartwrenching, but always hip sayings by Poppy at age 3 and a half:

-----
When Poppy wants to watch the news: "Mommy, let's see what's happening in the world."

----
Question: Poppy, what does daddy do for a living?
Answer: He sucks his thumb.

----
Papa and Grandma were babysitting one night during dinner while Go-Go Mommy got a haircut. Apparently, Poppy is getting used to Mommy being at home:

Poppy: I'll have something else to eat.
Grandma: This is a special dinner mommy wants you to have tonight.
Poppy: I'm sad. I miss mommy.
Papa: If you eat this, you can have pineapple. (Which Papa and Grandma
just brought from their trip to Hawaii.)
Poppy: (Going over to the front door with one hand on her hip.) I'm not in the mood. I'm sad, I'm jealous, and I'm angry.

Poppy's Favorite Joke:
Why did the elf run out of the kitchen?
Because the recipe said crack one egg and beat it!

Want to share your kid's classics? I'd love to hear them!

Poppy and her Papa

Poppy:  I have to go to work in Chicago.

Papa: You do?

Poppy: Yes.

Papa:  What do you do for work?

Poppy:  As a matter of fact, I don't know.
