June Funnies

We were at a birthday party, and there was an indoor playground made up of mostly jumping castle-type things.  The girls are pretty scared of that type of toy, and the room was pretty loud.  Willow walked in to the party room and said “Mommy, I am having NO fun.”

Hailie will still only wear skirts, and all of her clothing must at least have some Hot Pink in it.  The other day she was wearing a skirt and a polo shirt, and she had to tuck the shirt into her skirt.  I asked her why she did that, and she said it was because you couldn’t see her skirt.

The other day Hailie came up to me and said, “Mommy I need a bath.” and then in the most exasperated tone, said  “Just look at my hair!”

The girls are constantly using bathroom words, and we are constantly reminding them not to use those words, and not to call each other names.  They have been coming up with creative names that they can you instead, like Bonky Head, and Mato (Tomato) Head.  One day Willow came up with Bum Slice.  She had a big, long explaination of what a Bum Slice was… and none of it has anything to do with Bums, or slices. You have to admit; it’s a catchy term.

Hailie gets in Willows face, and then pokes her face, and sticks her finder up his nose

We were at Auntie Christine and Uncle Randy’s for a BBQ a few weekends ago.  Willow dropped her napkin and said “Oh craaaaaaaap”  Ooops!

In the backseat of the car the other day, Willow says “Hailie hit me.”  I said “No she didn’t”, and Willow replied,  “Well she is going to hit me.”

I was reading Willow a story about a bear named Willow. She loves to point to her name whenever she sees it.  At one point she points to the word ‘Who’ and the conversation goes like this:

Willow: What does that say?

Mommy: Who.

Willow:I don’t know. What does it say?

Mommy: Who.

Willow: I dont know.  What does it say?

Mommy: It says who.

WIllow: I dont know.  Mommy what does it say?

Mommy: It says the word who.

Willow: I don’tknow.  What does it say?

Mommy: That’s ok, nevermind.

Hailie and the skirt

On Sunday I took the girls to the grocery store. As I was going down the aisle with the little girl clothes, Hailie spotted some skirts, shorts and tank tops that she desperately wanted. She started to pull off her shirt and said “I want to wear that!” I explained that we have lots of skirts and shorts at home, and even if we were going to buy new clothes, we don’t take off our clothes and put them on until after we get home.

As soon as we got home, Hailie wanted to know where her skirts and shorts were. I told her that it’s still too cold, but she would be wearing her skirts and shorts when the weather got warmer.

On Monday morning she tried her luck at convincing me she could wear shorts, but I was able to get her regular clothes on her without a problem. She did however tell me that she is not going to go to preschool, but she was going to go to big school. Sorry Hailie… that’s going to be another year and a half!

On Tuesday the girls woke up 3 hours early. Dave and I let them play around upstairs for a couple of hours, and boy was that a mistake. They completely ransacked their dressers and closets, and picked out their own outfits. Willow chose a pair of tan cargo pants and a purple sweater, although I was able to convince her the sweater was too small and that she should wear a shirt instead. Hailie chose a summer skirt, no shirt, no underwear, and flip flops. She was adamant this was how she was going to school. After one argument, one time-out and one apology she was off to school in the skirt (backwards), some green leggings, her new zebra socks, slippers, a white and pink shirt that says “How cute am I?”

At first I was annoyed at how the day had gone so far, but the way she was walking tall, and looking proud, I knew she was feeling really great in this outfit she had chosen. When she got home from school, she told me she wears skirts, not jeans. When she changed into her PJs she handed me her skirt and says I want to wear this again tomorrow. I told her she could, but she had to wear jeans underneath. Hailie said “No jeans!”

On Wednesday morning she remembered about the skirt, and wanted to wear it again, complete with the green leggings. I was able to get a fresh pair of underwear, socks and a shirt on her as well. I noticed that she had been in the bathroom for awhile, so I went in to check on her. She was busy checking herself out in the full length mirror. She had a huge grin on her face, and was turning from side to side to admire her outfit. I thought to myself “My baby girl is growing up!” and thats when she wiped her nose on the front of her shirt.
