Here are some recent comments made by Hailey that made me smile:

“I love you mommy.  I am so happy.”

**********

“I can see his butt crack.”

**********

Hailey was having a tantrum about something and I was ignoring the tantrum.  So, Hailey told me, “I’m havin a tantrum!”

**********

Hailey asked me how old the letter J was.  I told her it was very old.  She responded, “Is J old like Gramma and Daddy?”

**********

Rich was talking to Hailey about something that she had done that was wrong.  After he was done talking to her he said, “Don’t do that again.  You got it?”  Hailey looked up at him with a confused look on her face, held her hands open and said, “I don’t have anything.”

**********

After being told no that Hailey could not do something she wanted to do she said, “My heart is broken.”

**********

Hailey and Rich had played several rounds of hide and seek when it was time to stop for Hailey to get ready for bed. She was trying to convince him to play one more game and said, “We have to play hide and seek because I love you”

**********

Hailey had to get her pants changed and she said, “Can I see my poop that I did in my big girl pants? Can you put your finger in it Daddy?”

**********

After reading a No David book Hailey asked me, “Mommy, do you love me when I’m bad?”

**********

Hailey was drawing a picture the other day and said, “I’m sending Gramma an email and she’s leaving me a comment.”

**********

Hailey’s new thing is to ask “Why not?” about everything.  She doesn’t ask “why?” only “why not?”  For example Hailey might say, “Can we go to the library?”  And I tell her yes.  She responds with, “Why not?”

**********

When Hailey wants to know what time it is she asks, “What o’clock is it?”

**********

The other day when we were at the library Hailey looked at an older man and said (very loudly), “Is that Santa Claus?”

**********

Hailey was telling me a story the other day and in her story she used the word serious.  Then she stopped and looked at me and said, “Can I say serious?”  I told her that it was okay to say serious.  Hailey responded by saying, “But not fart?”

**********

Some of the big words that Hailey is using these days:

• hip-in-potamus (Hippopotamus)
• commotion
• concerating (concentrating)
• excellent
• possibility
• confused

She does keep me smiling!

So about a year ago I wrote down some things that Hailey said that I thought were cute and I never blogged about it.  Better late than never, I say- so here they are:

• Pajamas are called “banamas“
• Band-aids are called “ban-bains“
• Pacifier is called a “Sah-Sah“

I just wanted to remember.

The other day Hailey’s pants and pull-up were falling down.  She came over to me, turned around to show me her bottom and said, “Can you pull up my butt crack?”

**********

I told Hailey it was time to go do something and she told me “no.”  So I said, “You don’t tell Mommy no.”  She replied by saying, “Oh Mommy, I love you and you are beautiful.”

**********

While playing with her doll house I overheard Hailey say, “I’m famished.”  I couldn’t believe she was saying it, but then later I heard it on one of her Veggie Tales DVDs.

**********

I told Hailey to finish her vegetables at dinner and she said, “No thanks, I’m all set.”

**********

Hailey was turning off her portable DVD player after watching her snack time show.  She knows that she is not supposed to open it when she turns it off.  Apparently it’s quite a temptation because as she was turning it off I heard her say, “I hope I don’t open the DVD player.”

I went and changed into my sweatpants and an old sweatshirt to do some cleaning and Hailey looked at me and said, “Are those your old lady clothes?”

**********

I wanted Hailey to come and get dressed the other morning but I thought she might be working on a surprise in her diaper for me.  I told her to come on to get dressed and she responded by saying, “In a minute I am.  I have to finish my business.  Let’s leave stinky alone.”

**********

Hailey wasn’t listening and was not doing what she was supposed to do so Rich told her sternly that she had better start listening.  She said, “You’re making the little girl sad.

**********

Hailey was trying to torture Dottie by chasing her around the house with her doll stroller.  Rich took the stroller and put it away where Hailey couldn’t get it.  Hailey came to me with tears in her eyes and said, “Mommy, how come Daddy thinks I’m not special?”

**********

Hailey and I were talking about what different relatives do for their jobs.  She likes to talk about how Gramma helps the kids learn their ABC’s and how Uncle Matt plays with chemicals.  So, she went through the list of everyone and she told me what everyone does.  When she was finished I said, “And what does Mommy do?”  She smiled at me and said, “Mommy gets to get Hailey.”
