Silly Sayings

Having a 3 year old in the house makes me feel like I am living in a "Funniest Home Video" world. I just wish I had a camera on at all times to capture it. I love to sit back and wait for Ally to learn a new word, activity, or skill and then try to put it into practice. These make for great outbursts of laughter. For instance, the other day while driving in the car Allyson asked me " Mommy, is it almost dark outside" (meaning nighttime). I told her "no sweetie, we haven't even eaten lunch yet. It is just cloudy outside right now." Then she said " Are the stars taking their nap right now?"
Or the other morning when I was sitting on the couch with a short sleeve shirt on. I had my hand on my head and my daughter was standing on the couch next to me. She was looking down the sleeve of my shirt when she gasped and looked in wander at my armpit. She said "Mommy, why don't you have hair on your elbow like daddy does?" I laughed and asked her "where is my elbow?". It was hilarious watching her face because she knew where my elbow was and even pointed to it, but she didn't know what the armpit was called, so she just called it the elbow since that was the closet thing to my armpit.

One of my favorite ones is kind of gross, but I can't help but tell it. I made muffins for breakfast and added green food coloring to them for Saint Patricks day. The next day while Allyson was using the bathroom you can probably imagine what I saw that was bright green in the toilet. It shocked me at first, but I quickly realized why it was that color. Allyson overheard me telling Brian about it that evening and listening to us both laugh about it, so this was now registered in her mind. A couple days later Mamaw and Poppie took us out for breakfast at Bob Evans and Allyson ordered pancakes. When we were finished eating I had to run to the store for a couple of things. As soon as we stepped foot into the store Allyson had to go to the bathroom. This never fails with a toddler. While I was standing there I saw her look up at me and say "I'm done mommy". I said"good" and went to help her down and she abruptly grabbed my arms and said "no mommy! wait!" She slowly twisted herself around so she could look down into the toilet while telling me "I want to see what color it is." I laughed and quickly remembered that she was doing this because of the St. Patricks day incident. She looked in and then turned back around to me with a big cheesy smile on her face and said "Mommy, it's brown because I ate brown pancakes this morning."
Hopefully you all can enjoy some of Ally's silly sayings as much as I do. As more come along I will try to remember to share them on my blog.
