Big-Sisterisms

Big Sister has always had the most amazing vocabulary. She loves to learn new words, and I've never shied away from using big words with her. If she's unsure what it means, she will ask. It is amazing to me how quickly she tries to incorporate the new words she learns into her daily conversation. Most of the time, she remembers them well, and uses them correctly. Other times, well, just keep reading...

When Little Sister tried to grab Big Sister's cup during a snacktime together on the couch, Big Sister suggested to me that I get Little Sister her own cup. I showed her that I had, in fact, brought Little Sis a cup too, but that she was not interested in her own. Big Sister must have suspected the cup's content to be the problem. "Maybe you should get her some of that for-mee-lo." Trust me, Big Sister, even formula formeelo wouldn't keep her from wanting your cup.

Later on, Big Sis again decided that she needed a snack. Actually, to be totally honest, she decided that she wanted candy. But she knew what the answer would be if she simply asked for candy, especially since I'm pretty sure that she has blood sugar issues. (She can turn into Little Miss Crazy Pants if she gets hungry, or if she has sugar on an empty stomach and doesn't have some protein or complex carbs with it- something about the sweets causing a spike in her blood sugar and then causing it to fall too quickly, I think.) Instead, she came into the kitchen where I was wiping down the counter and asked, "Can I have a protein and then some candy?!"

It was right before dinner, so I told her to wait, that I was getting ready to make her a grilled cheese. She thought for a second, and then asked me "Well, can I have some candy afterturd?" Bahahahah!

My favorite Hannahism lately was said when we were playing with the plastic worker hats on Sunday night a few weeks ago. Zac was pretending to be the policeman pulling us over for going too fast. He had us step out of the car, etc and then Hannah insisted that he put us both "under the restroom" (under arrest). The harder we laughed, the more she said it. :)

Sara told me the other day that I was going over the speed limo. Smart girls, they are. After I told her that it was speed limit, she said, "Mom, sometimes I don't say the right words because I'm only 4 years old."
