Parenthood, in a Nutshell

Hannah (10 a.m.): can I have a snack?

Hannah (10:10 a.m.): can I have some cereal?

Hannah (10:20 a.m.): can I have some goldfish?

Hannah (10:30 a.m.): I'm hungryytttyy.

Hannah (10:40 a.m.): please can me and Libby have a snack?

Me (finally breaking down at 10:50 and getting an early lunch ready): do you want hot dogs or fish sticks for lunch Hannah?

Hannah: I'm not hungry

Somewhere, a stick in the mud is outraged ...

Hannah has been learning the Pledge of Allegiance. Here's how she closed it out.

"with wizard trees and justice for dolls"

Call Your Doctor

Hannah had another phone conversation with her Granny today.

Hannah: Granny I think you have a fever the phone feels hot.

The Naked Truth

I was about to get in the shower when I walked out to the fridge to get some water. I was still wearing boxers, but Hannah hasn't quite figured out the definition of naked yet.

Hannah: SILLY DADDY YOU CAN'T PICK OUT A CUP NAKED!

Speaking Truth to Power

Hannah had a phone conversation with her granny yesterday, though it involved more of Hannah shouting anything that came to her mind at her Granny than an actual conversation. Here's how it wrapped up.

Granny: Tell Libby I'll talk to her later.

Hannah: SILLY GRANNY YOU WON'T TALK TO HER LATER!

Cold Movember Rain

I've been doing pretty much nothing but studying for the CPA exam for the last two weeks. During that time I've grown a bit of a nasty beard. These were Hannah's thoughts when I asked her about how it looked:

"I don't like mens with mustaches."

Precious Moments

Samplings from Hannah's prayers this week, per Julie:

"Please take all the mean people and make them nice"

"Thank you for momma and daddy getting married and me and Libby being born and the way we are and funness"
