Here is a list that I started of some things I've caught myself saying recently in response to Noemi's antics. I love that she is getting to the age where she can tell me what she is thinking...and that she understands exactly what I am saying. Gosh--I wish I had video of some of these moments.
1. No no, honey, we just wipe your butt with the toilet paper, not your butt then your hair.
2. I know you're sad, but it's not a boo boo. You just got your diaper stuck in the door.
3. (at the grocery store) Shhh...the crabs are sleeping. OK, baby, you're right, they are dead.
4. I know you love the hose, but it stays outside! We don't water the stairs!
5. Our feet stay on the ground, they don't go in the potty.
6. It's OK...just pick it up off of the floor and eat it. Quickly, please.
7. Yes, Bert poops too, baby.
8. Yes, that's Mommy's pimple. Someday you'll have one, too.
9. No, we don't need a Band Aid on your nipple. It's not a boo boo, it's your nipple.
10. Baby, please don't pet Layla with the popsicle. Oh, yucky. Yes, that is cat hair on your popsicle.
