A few quips from Morgan

I actually remembered a few funny things Morgan has said lately. My favorite by far is what she told me the other night after she had a very small accident in her panties. Now, the girl has been potty trained for over a year, but she does what probably all small kids do, and waits until the very last second. Well, the other night I heard her go to the bathroom, then after a minute or so I hear, "Mom. Can you bring me some more panties?" So I go into the bathroom to see what transpired. I didn't lose my cool, but I did ask her what happened. Of course I get a blank stare from her. So I then proceed to tell her for the umpteenth time that she should not wait so long before she goes. Then she looks at me with the utmost seriousness and tells me, "I waited too long and my butt pooped by itself. That's why I have to change my panties." I am cracking up just remembering it.

One of our all time favorite sayings happened when we were on vacation in North Carolina last October. Morgan had only been potty trained for less than two months, so we were constantly going to the bathroom to avoid any accidents. We were at dinner one night and she said she had to go potty. I was so exhausted from always bringing her I asked Bryan if he would take her since there were absolutely no other people in the restaurant. He obliged and off they went. Once they returned to the table Bryan was going to pick up Morgan and put her back in the booster seat. She apparently did not want any help so she slams her hand on the table and says, "Dammit, Bryan!" We were all in tears from laughing so hard.

My other favorite happened just a week after we returned from our mountain vacation last year. Bryan had a conference in Baton Rouge, so it was just me and the Mo one Friday night. I was eating dinner at the kitchen table and she was having a conversation with her fish in the aquarium. She asked me if she could touch the fish. I told her no that fish really do not like to be touched by people. Well, before I knew it, she had her hand in the aquarium up to her elbow. I of course fussed at her and told her to remove her hand and arm from the aquarium. She then looks at me with pure disgust and tells me, "Just chill out." Didn't so much laugh at that one.

I will try and do better about posting all the wild and crazy things she does and says.

Thanks!

My, how the time flies!!

I can't seem to log back into the old blog to do any updating, so I created a new one. I will try to post actually stories about the many adventures of life with Miss Morgan. I absolutely cannot believe that in less than four months she will be four years old. FOUR YEARS OLD. When the heck did that happen???? It does not seem that long at all. I swear it was just yesterday that we came home with this little bitty baby. And now we have a big girl. And Heaven forbid you don't call her a big girl. We'll just let you try that experiment all on your own.

Currently, Morgan is in the Older 3's class at daycare. This is something she is not totally thrilled about. We're not sure what this is about. She is just desperate to be in Mrs. Kerri's class. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later. She started taking dance classes about a month ago. She seems to be doing pretty good and except for one class, she is liking is so far.

She is still as smart as a whip and sassy as ever. She very much knows what she wants and what she doesn't. And I think I've created a monster when it comes to shopping. We were at Target yesterday and she was on a roll just throwing stuff in the basket.

I'm at a loss for any cute stories about things she's said or done lately. No doubt she will say something clever soon enough.

I will try my best to keep up with posting!!
