So on Wednesday Grammy was changing a very stinky diaper (on Hope, just to be clear) and Hope said, "What died in there?" I wish I could have been there to hear that one!! She got that from my nephew Jack the last time we saw them (about 3 weeks ago). Jack will be 2 in October.
On Monday morning I got up and made my world-famous (well, maybe not world famous, but if you've ever had them you'd probably agree they're pretty darned good) banana chocolate chip muffins. After Hope got up I put her in her high chair so she could have a muffin and some yogurt. Even though there was a little bit of muffin left on her tray, I could tell she was about done with breakfast so I went into the kitchen to get a wash cloth to wipe her up. While I was gone she threw the muffin pieces on the floor. Now this is something she does on a regular basis and we've talked to her many times about how that's not nice and she should just leave the food on her tray. So I went into my disciplinarian mode and said something like, "Hope, you know you're not supposed to throw your food on the floor. Do you know that's not a very nice thing to do?" She looked at me and, in her best Norwegian voice, said, "You betcha." From the loft I heard Mark say, "It's kinda hard to be upset with her when she does that kind of thing, huh?" I just laughed!! (By the way, Hope is VERY Norwegian since I'm a good part Norwegian and Mark is even more Norwegian than I am.) So Hope has the Scandanavian lingo down. Next she'll be talking about lefsa and stuff like that.
One more note: not only does Hope have the A-B-C song completely down pat (including the "Now I said my A-B-Cs" tag at the end), she's also been walking around singing the song with the SPANISH alphabet!! I have to say that she gets most of the letters right. I better order the Rosetta Stone "How to Speak Spanish" CDs and let her start listening to them. Actually, I should get the Italian ones so we can start practicing up for when I take her to Italy for her high school graduation! She'll catch on right away...it's me that needs the next 16 years to practice. LOL
Time to go back to sleep!!
