Annika says...

I feel like I'm unceremoniously barging in on my own blog after so much time of not posting. But I can't be the only one who hibernates during winters? Especially the kind of winter we all had ourselves here in the Midwest. Brutal doesn't even begin to describe...

Anywho... My sweet little bunny... She isn't so little anymore. She is only a month away from turning two and it's my most favorite age The most fun is to hear her talk. The girl talks. so. much. Every single day she whips out something new to say and Greg and I look at each other and go:  "Did you just hear that?" or "Where in the world did she learn that?"

I don't want to forget these fun little Annika-isms and I think it's time to start writing down some of my most favorite ones...

So here it goes... Part I of Annika says. And boy, do I expect to have many-many more of those. 

"Where is it mommy go?" (Where did mommy go?)

"Want to push the buttons on a alligator!" (elevator!)

"Water going down the dream." (drain!)

"Annika's butt itching!"

When she hurts a part of her body, she always wants me to kiss it to make it "all better". Once, when she fell on her bottom pretty hard, she came up to me and said: "Kiss my butt!"

And you better believe I did!

Me: "What color is mommy's car?"

A: "Black."

Me: "That's right! What color is daddy's car?"

A: "Brown, too."

Puts her baby doll on her time-out chair: "Mary, time out!". Points a finger at the doll: "Listen!!!"

Me: "Why did you put your baby in time-out?" 

A: "Baby pull Annika's hair. Hurts!"

Me: "Annika, can I have your paci, please? You're awake now, and paci is for night-night."

A: "Nooo! I need it!"

Me: "Annika, did you just toot?"

A: "No. Daddy toot." (totally fibbing!)

I've been trying to teach her to say "Yes, ma'am!" when I reprimand her and want her to understand the correct behavior. 

Me: "Are you going to throw food on the floor again?!"

A: "Yes, ma'am!"

Greg: "I would give you play-doh, but are you going to eat it again?"

A: "Yes, ma'am!"

Point totally missed:)

I could go on forever and never stop, but I think it's enough for the first time. Hope you smiled a little bit:)
