More Lynlee Quotes....

The other day Lynlee told me I smell like soup.
Me: "Like soup, huh? Do you even know what soup is?"
Lynlee: "Yes, I will show you."
She runs to the pantry, gets a package of Ramen Noodles and hands it to me.
Lynlee: "See mommy, you smell like soup." Alrighty.

Last night she woke up in the middle of the night with a cough and runny nose. She came into our room asking for some medicine. I told her no. She went right outside our door, sat down on the floor and started crying, "You broke my heart, Mommy! You broke my heart!"

Lynlee has a bad habit of picking her nose and eating it. Gross I know, but what do you do. We've been trying hard to kick her of this habit, so Jason caught her in the act and told her she needed to stop picking her nose, and to defenately stop eating it. She kept doing it so this is the conversation that followed:
Jason: "Why do you eat it? Does it taste good?"
Lynlee: "Yes."
Jason: "What does it taste like?"
Lynlee: "Like a snack. It tastes like a snack, daddy."

It's A......

We are having a little baby boy!! We are so excited. I must say, I was pretty convinced from day one that it would be a boy. This pregnancy has been completely opposite from Lynlee's, and everytime I dreamt of the little guy, it was a boy. Also, I figured by week 10, when I still wasn't feeling any morning sickness that something was different. Lynlee from the first time we told her we were having a baby, was convinced it was a boy. Not that that's necessarily what she wanted, but anytime I would ask her, "what's inside mommy's belly?" She'd inevitably say its a boy. When you'd ask her what she wanted, a baby brother or a baby sister....she'd say a sister.

On the way to the doctor's office for the ultrasound, I asked Lynlee one last time what she thought it would be. She said, "Actualllly, mommy....I don't think we should really get a baby anymore."

I think she is coming to terms with the fact that her little world is going to be turned upside down.

Lynlee Quotes

So, Lynlee is getting to the age when she is really quite interesting to have a conversation with. She says some of the most hilarious things, and I always think to myself, I should probably write that one down. Here are a few of these conversations that I've been meaning to post. And of course, try to put Lynlee's voice and eyebrow accents into these quotes, it makes them a lot more interesting.

Quote 1:
Anytime something breaks (...and its usually her doing), Lynlee always says, "Don't worry, Daddy can fix it." In her mind, her dad can do or fix anything. Last night Jason came home and she wanted him to help her get a toy that was wedged in between her headboard and mattress, so as soon as he got home she said, "Daddy can you fix my toy? You can do it with your big muscles and you can fix it," and walked him upstairs to her room to extract the toy. She knows exactly what to say to butter him up. I think I hear "Don't worry, Daddy can fix it," at least twice a day.

Quote 2:
The other day I was walking through the gym hall with Lynlee after a workout. We passed by a crowd of people, and Lynlee turns to me and says (loudly, I might add..) "What's that big fat guy doing, mom?" I tried to hush her and tell her not to say that word, but she was so curious and kept asking "No, but mom, did you see that guy with the really big belly? He was a really big fat guy." I just ducked my head and walked as fast as I could toward the door. Poor thing doesn't have any idea why she can't ask me about that "big fat guy."

Quote 3:
Another classic Lynlee story.....Lynlee's favorite saying right now is, "See! I told you!" The other day, she was sitting on a chair pushed up to the island in our kitchen. She kept standing up and leaning back, so I told her if she didn't sit down on her bum, she was going to fall backwards and it would really hurt. She just kept leaning back, and of course fell. She started crying and was really upset. She looked up at me from the floor and said, "SEE!! I told you!" I don't think she quite understands when to use this phrase.

Quote 4:
Last story. The other day Lynlee and I were sitting in a waiting room together, and I noticed Lynlee had been staring at me for a few minutes. So, finally I asked her what was wrong, and she asked me:
"Mom, am I going to look like you someday?"
"Ummm...why do you ask? Do you not want to look like me when you grow up?"
"No, I do want to."
"Well, probably a little. But you will be a lot cuter."
"Oh. Ok."
I thought that was a pretty profound little question from a three year old.
