The Many Words of Delia

So I don't know how many things Delia has said that I have actually posted...so Here are some that I have been writing down because they made me laugh so hard! I love this girl!

A couple of weeks ago I was sitting at the computer trying to do taxes on Turbo Tax while Delia was eating in her highchair. After getting pretty much to the end it said we owed the government quite a bit of money! What?!

Me: "Oh, no! No, no, no, no no!!
Delia: "Mom, whaz wrong?
Me: (ignoring her) "NO! This can't be right..but why?!" "Oh, no!"
Delia: "MOM! Whaz wrong!"
Me: (Still ignoring her..too upset!) "Oh, why us?! This is soooo not fair! Ahhhh!"
Delia: "Mom! You're either sick or hurt (using hand gestures) what is wrong?!!"

By this time all I can do is turn with a big smile and start laughing! She has never been so clear and direct before and made sense!! So cares so much about me!

Usually before bedtime we read some books and do cards. This particular night I was so tired and here was our conversation.

After reading 2 books:

Me: "Okay, it's time for bed"
Delia: "A, do cards!"
Me: "No, mom is too tired tonight, lets just go to bed"
Delia: "No, a do CARDS!!'
Me: "No, but how about I sing you a song?!"
Delia: "Um...how about we do cards!"
Me: (mouth open...smile forming) "Excuse me?!"

Such a Sly girl!

The last couple of weeks Delia has been sick and I know for a fact she is getting it in nursery!!! So I have been taking her temp.

Delia: (coming from the other room) "Mom? Moooom!"
Me: "what? I'm in here."
Delia: (comes into the bathroom with a temple thermometer touched to her head) "I takin' temture!"
Me: "Oh, yeah? What does it say?"
Delia: "Umm..is all better!" (and goes out of the room about her business)

She always wants to do what mommy is doing or has done! Including cleaning and putting makeup and lotion on...which results in many messy cleanups!! ;)

My baby girl is growing up! It makes me so happy and sad at the same time!
