Annika's strange litany of goodbyes

Just moments ago I was watching Annika put her toys away. She was talking to herself, slow enough that I could write it down:

"Bye bye, little rocking horse. See you on Wednesday.
Bye bye, little crayon. See you on fire truck day.
Bye bye, rocking swing, see you on scary day.
Bye bye, goat. See you on summer day.
Bye bye, tea cup. See you drinking tea.
Bye bye, block. See you to wash hands.
Bye bye, stethoscope. See you whenever you check persons.
Bye bye, horse. See you wherever you walk.
Bye bye, dog. See you wherever you bark.
Bye bye, Smurf. See you whenever you clean my house.
Bye bye, poo poo potty. I'll see you on a summer day!"

The Golden Age of Bizarre Comments

First of all, I think I may be confusing my 2 yr. old by only wearing pajamas when I'm home. Yesterday she said, "You need your pajamas to love me!"

"I want to go to the glass store!"  

Annika, to me: "Wow, you smell serious!"

Me:  "What do you want to drink?"
Annika: "Um...how bout chocolate milk, without the milk?"

House Cleaning

I noticed that Annika (2) had been going around the house for almost an hour 'cleaning' with a damp sponge. She cleaned my arms, my camera, her stuffed animals, the doors, the walls, everything. I told her to clean anything she wanted, but NOT the toilet. She said, "Oh,  but I did! I cleaned that first!"

I am thankful for...A

My 2 year old: "I'm lucky to have Mommy, and also lucky to have trash. Will you write that down?"

Trying to convince me to let her play with a wet sponge: "Mommy, it's GOOD to get wet. Peoples LOVE to get wet!"

"Daddy smells not good! Smell him!"

Annika calls Jewel, the singer 'JEWELRY'

Picky Eater

Papa:  Annika, eat your peas and carrots.
Annika:  I don’t like carrots
Papa:  Have you ever tried eating carrots?
Annika: Yes, they taste like cat food (tat food)
Papa: I don’t think you’ve ever tried carrots.  I think you’re fibbing.
Annika: What’s fibbing?
Papa:  You’re telling me a story.
Annika: OK,  Once upon a time there was a little girl eating with her Papa.  Her Papa told her to eat carrots.  The little girl said she didn’t like carrots cause they tasted like cat food.

Cheetahs In Space

My 2 year old:
"Mommy, are you going to take me to outer space?"
     "Sure, someday..."
"Will you buy me a helmet? Because if  you don't buy me a helmet, I will die."
      "I will buy you a helmet."
"Will I see Mars? And a cheetah in outer space? A cheetah IS in outer space, flying in the sky. Far, far away.We should go far, far away!"

Big Girl

Daddy: Do you want some water?

Annika: Daddy I am a big girl, big girls don't drink water, they drink chocolate milk.
