i have to admit that tonight I don’t feel at all like blogging. I’m honestly really tired. You’d think that a holiday week would provide lots of rest and relaxation, but it seemed to have sucked it right out of me.

There are so many things I want to remember about this time in Selah June’s life. She talks incessantly. And everything she says (that isn’t absolute whining) is pretty darn funny.

This week we said the following in no particular order:

“I can learn…at school and at home.”

“The sun burned my booty up.”

“I’m cockatoo. You’re pikachu.”

“I need a Diet Coke. I’m a lady.”

“Does Satie have a Miss Rachel? Does Abigail have a Miss Rachel?”

“I need my Ferris wheel (meaning her pinwheel).”

“Oh my goodness!!!! (GASP) Look at all the flags!!!!!”

The bunny says “look at her butt.” (laugh) “not booty.”

When asked if she wanted to go to the park, she said, “I want to go on an adventure. I want to go to Target.”

We’ve also been singing “Johnny Johnny.” And she will do the whole bit with me. If other people are listening, then she does it in a baby voice and you can’t understand her. But she can do it with me being Papa, and she can do it in reverse. She can be Papa.

Johnny Johnny

Yes, Papa?

Eating sugar?

No, Papa.

Telling lies?

No, Papa.

Open your mouth…

Ha Ha Ha

This typically will entertain her through rough spots during the day when she’s not in the mood to deal with 2 year old life.

And then we made up a song this week.

Cockatoo, pikachu, who are you?

And there’s our song for rainy days.

“We’re not gonna get wet cause we got out (pause) umbrella!”

She’s not really eating a whole lot more than chicken nuggets, French fries, tator tots, granola bars, oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and chips. She does like chocolate for treats (as well as doughnut holes and cookies).

And she loves to run.

Now if I can just catch up…
