Conversations with Hannah

It’s been a while since my last “Hannah-isms” post…so I thought I’d share the most recent additions to the collection…

Last night at dinner:
Hannah surprised us all by announcing, “I want a sister!”
(And, no, as far as we know, she is not getting one anytime soon!!)

This afternoon, while we were “playing stickers” (good old-fashioned ColorForms!), I asked Hannah a few questions, just for fun…It went a little something like this:
Mommy: “Hannah, are you a big girl?”
Hannah: “No, I’m Hannah Elisabeth Whitley.”
M: “How old are you?”
H: “2-ears-old.”  (Yes, it’s purposely misspelled!!)
M: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
H: “A boy.”
M: “But, you can’t be a boy.  God made you a girl.”
H: “Oh, well, then I’ll just be a little girl when I’m big.”

Then later, while Hannah was “making dinner” (fruit salad, with ketchup and onions – yum!, in case you were wondering!):
M: “Hannah, what is your favorite food?”
H: “Broccoli.”
M: “Broccoli, really?!  Okay.”
H: “Yes…Can I have a chocolate chip cookie?”

Timing…I love it!  No sooner had I hit “publish” and Hannah came over to me and asked, “Where is my daddy?”
“He is at church tonight.  Do you know what he is doing at church?”

Okay, I have to interject here, that her typical answer is “He is at Bible study.”  She is currently (and understandably) under the impression that the only reason that people go to church is for Bible study… 🙂
Now back to the conversation…

Her response…”Yes, I know!  He is going potty!”

I almost spit my coffee all over the computer!! 

Although unexpected, it was actually an understandable response.  We have been re-doing “potty training boot camp” over the last week, so I’m sure it is at the forefront of her mind these days (at least, I hope it is!!).  It’s going well, and I think we are back on track!!   We’ve gone 2 weeks with only 1 accident – including an accident-free outing!!  All I have to say is, once they are potty-trained, stay away from Pull-ups!!! Far, far away!!
