Maleyn's Musings....

My favourite thing in the world right now is listening to our little miss come up with new words and sentences everyday. She keeps me in stitches! It reminds me of when I first taught Kindergarten and how I loved my job because the kids brought a smile to my face every single day.

Here are some of my favourites over the past few weeks...

Said to me for the first time ever at bedtime, while I was rocking Maelyn...
     Maelyn - I love you ko (so) much!
     Mommy - Thank you, Maelyn! That makes me so happy! I love you, too!
     Maelyn - I love you ko (so) much!
     Mommy - (smiling at Maelyn)
     Maelyn - Now say thank you to Maelyn.

So cute...

• I know just what to do! Be back in a second, guys!

Said in response to me asking her to do something....but I think it is just a way of brushing me off, as she doesn't get moving any faster!

• Okay! I will!   (In the sweetest sing-song voice....so deceiving)

Said to me very, very often! Maelyn thanks us earnestly every time we give her something -- so sweet!

• Thank you, Mommy!

While playing dress-up with Daddy...

• I'm Dr. Green -- Dr. Maelyn Green.

At bedtime, while rocking Maelyn....

     Mommy - Maelyn, please stop picking your nose. It is dirty.
     Maelyn - Okay. (Pause). Will you pick my nose, Mommy? I can't get it!
     Mommy - (grossed out)
     Maelyn - Wait! I got it!
     Mommy - (very grossed out!)

Said every time she doesn't want to have to walk on her own, but wants to be carried...

• My legs are broken!

Maelyn has become quite sensitive to getting in trouble lately. It has been so cute to hear her try and negotiate with us!

• You have to be nice!!
• I need to talk to you!!
• You happy now, Mommy?

While trying to put her hair into new pigtails...

     Mommy - Sorry, Maelyn. I am not very good at doing this new kind of pigtails.
     Maelyn - It okay, Mommy. Daddy not good at it either!
