New Vocabulary

Here is a Harper funny for you!

Last week Harper and I were cooking together in the kitchen and she was practicing her rhyming skills.  It went something like this:

Harper: Kissed - Pissed- Kissed - Pissed
Me: Harper don't say that word anymore.
Harper: Why, what does it mean?
Me: It means that you're really mad.
Harper: Like 100 times mad???
Me: Yes
Harper: I've been pissed before.

OMG - I was laughing so hard!  I then had to explain to her that it wasn't a very nice word and that she shouldn't use it.

Oh I love the innocence of little kids!

Taco Johns

On Sunday we ate at Taco Johns.  It was a first for Harper.  It was between Jimmy Johns and Taco Johns.  {I bribed her by telling her that they have awesome "tater tots."}

She LOVED it!  We got a 6-pack and a Pound to split between the 3 of us, and I think Harper ate 3/4 of the Potato Oles!

Anyways...later that night Harper asked me if we could go to "Waffle Johns" next time so she could get some waffles.  Followed by "French Fry Johns!"  Oh what a funny girl!

Not Talkers

I ask Harper about 20 questions every.single.day when she gets home from preschool.

What did you learn today?

What did you have for a snack?

Was everyone there?

Did you talk to your teachers?

Did you go outside?

What did you do for centers?

What book did you read?

Did you make anything?

Who sat at your table today?

Annoyed yet?  Think how poor Harper must feel.

When Harper told me who sat at her table for the day, I then asked "Did you talk to her?"

Which she replied "No mom, we're not talkers, we're color-ers and eaters!"

Okay then ~ 3-year-old preschool must be strictly business :)



Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar?!

We have a Santa Clause cookie jar sitting out on our kitchen counter right now and it is was actually full of cookies for a change.

Well, Miss Harper has a sweet tooth.  Adam caught her red-handed today stealing cookies!

After trying to reach the cookie jar with her step stool and not being quite tall enough, she moved a kitchen chair over to the counter instead.

When Adam asked Harper why she moved the chair over to steal cookies, she replied "Cause that's what kids do!"

Oh Miss sneaky and clever Harper :)

Tangles

The other day Harper and I were having a conversation about her classmates.

I asked who one particular girl was and she replied,  "the one with tangly hair."

I was puzzled for a few days until I saw this girl with "tangly hair," turns out she has a beautiful head of curls :)

Mommy's Tummy

The other night we were watching some TV show that featured a pregnant woman.  I told Harper that a baby was in the woman's tummy.  

Harper said "I used to live in your tummy."

I asked her if she remembered what it was like in my tummy, which she replied, "It was dark.....and windy."

Okay???????????????????????? 

More Funnies

This is too good not to share.......

{The only background info that you need to know for this story is that I gave Harper a bath tonight}

As I was tucking my sweet little girl in to bed tonight, she let out a fart.  A long one.  A really long one.

To which she replies, "I'm going to need another bath now!"

I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard!  She thought she was pretty funny too, as she giggled right along with me :)

The things Harper picks up from her FATHER!

Life Lessons on Drinking Beer

While driving back to Clarion this weekend, Harper saw me take a drink out of my can of POP.  She instantly asked, "Why are you drinking a beer, mommy?"  {Which is odd because I don't think I've ever drank a beer in front of her, she must be watching her daddy ;)}  I informed her that it was pop and and I taught her at the ripe old age of 2 why a person can't drink a beer and drive :)  Harper then decided to put her own little spin on the rules of drinking beer and said that "only boys can drink beer, not girls."

Ribbons

As I was getting Harper ready for bed tonight, she held her sides and said,

"Ouch! My ribbons hurt!" AKA - RIBS :)

She has had a very mild cough the past few days, which could explain soreness in her 'ribbon' area!

Girl Code

There is an unwritten rule that states girls/women MUST go to the bathroom together in pairs. We all see this - not matter what the age. Harper is no exception.

This morning while Harper was sitting on her potty chair, she scooted her little butt as far over as she possibly could without her falling off, patted the chair, and said "Sit down mommy!" My heart melted a little bit as I burst into laughter.

Harper is taking this "girl code" to a whole new level! :)

Funnies #6

This is a bathroom funny.......

Harper had to go #2 yesterday and she said to me, "I have to take a goose."

I was a bit confused until I realized that she meant to say, "I have to take a deuce."

The things she picks up from her FATHER!

Funnies #5

We took a trip to the library today to return our old books and check out some new ones. We usually contain Harper to the 'children's' area, but today she took a little tour with mommy.

She was in amazement as she was exploring the 'new' parts of the library. At one point she was smiling ear to ear and threw her hands in the air and said "This is beautiful!"

She was like a kid in a candy store - she didn't know what to do with all of the books and different little nooks. She ran through every aisle in amazement. She reminded me of the little girl on Matilda.

We sure do love our little bookworm!

Funnies # 4

I'm experiencing some technical difficulties with trying to upload my Thanksgiving pictures to Blogger - so hopefully I'll be able to post a blog about Turkey Day soon. In the mean time....

Whenever we drive past the swimming pool we tell Harper that the pool is closed and that it will open again next summer. Harper has now taken the initiative to voice that pool will open "next summer" on her own. She also says "next summer" when driving by the football field and park as well.

As you may know, we are working on potty training Harper. This has been frustrating because she has NO interest in her potty chair. I asked Harper the other day when she was going to go on the big-girl potty and she replied, "Next summer!"

Let's hope it's before then! Little stinker......

Funnies #3

We have already gotten into the holiday spirit in our household by singing Christmas carols. As I was getting Harper ready for bed tonight I started singing "Santa Clause is coming to town." Harper immediately clung to me and buried her head in my shoulder. I asked her what was wrong and she said "I scared." I asked her why and she said "Santa's coming!"

Little does she know that this is a good thing!

Funnies #2

A little background information first: The back windows of Adam's squad car are gated/screened so Ali doesn't try to jump out if the window's are down. Harper likes to help Adam put Ali in the squad car before they go to work, and then we peek in at Ali through the little holes in the window.

Earlier this week Harper walked to the front of my car, peeked in the front grill, and said "Hi Ali!" It was hilarious! But I understand her reasoning, the grill of my car and Adam's back windows do look a lot alike.

Funnies #1

Harper is beginning to talk a lot lately and picks up on almost everything we say. She has said some pretty funny things in the past few days. I want to write them down before I forget. So it looks like I'll be starting a blog series of 'Funnies.'

1. Brooke: Harper, what kind of pizza do you want?

Harper: Purple

2. Brooke: Let me pull up your pants.

Harper: Britches falling down!

3. Brooke: These bubbles reek like popcorn oil.

Harper: Reek...popcorn!

Brooke: What do they smell like?

Harper: Poop!
