Forgot one :)

When you were about 2 yrs old, you had just come out of the bath and Mommy was holding you in your towel like a baby. I was rocking you and feeling really emotional, thinking about how big you had become and how I used to do this with you as a baby. As I'm sharing these thoughts with you and really feeling the moment, you looked into my eyes and said: "Mommy, you have boogers in your nose." 

Shpeshal Kush

1) Mommy gave you strawberries in the morning. You asked where they come from. I told you they come from a bush. You exclaimed: "I go potty in the bush!" Mommy quickly reassured you that strawberries don't grow in THAT bush! To which, you answered, " No, it's called a Potty Bush!"

2) Tatty was putting you to bed and you had to give Tatty a shpeshal kush for Mommy also. You asked: "Tatty, what's mammy's name to you?" He answered: "It's called a wife", to which you said: "This shpeshal kush is for your wife."

3) We were out at the ice cream store, when you saw a Chinese lady sitting in front of a restaurant. You turned to Mommy and stated: "Mommy, you know that lady has her eyes closed a lot, because a lot of people touch them!"

Pesach

1) You had just learned about bedikas chometz in daycare...You came home with your haggadah and bedikas chametz kit. You took out out the feather, spoon and candle and started walking around looking for chometz. You saw mommy's rice cake on the kitchen counter. put candle near it and said: "WE ARE BURNING THIS!"

2) Family went on a trip during chol hamoed. When we got to the mall and were walking through sears, you exclaimed, looking around: "Wow! Look at this museum!!"

Girlie Girl

1) Esty was reading you a story, then she started saying that she really wanted to go downstairs and eat.

You switched to a very serious tone and told her "Daughter, you need to relax! Mommy is going to read you a story, and then you can go downstairs. You need to relax"

2) You were taking a bath, and playing with all the Ballys. Mommy was resting her cheek on a red Bally. 

All of a sudden you said "Mommy are you holding my daughter?". 

Mommy was very surprised and said "I guess so".

So in a very stern voice you said "please put her back in my house".

Then you made Mommy put the Bally back in the bath.

3) Tatty was scolding you for coloring with a marker on yourself and your clothes.

So you looked at Tatty, cupped your cheeks in your hands and said "Tatty, I just try to be good, I'm only a little girl".

4) You were walking with Mommy past Yeshiva, when all of a sudden you said "I need to put on makeup"

You stopped (completely blocking traffic) took off your backpack, took out a container, pulled out a mini spoon, and started to rub it all over your cheeks, eyes and face.

When you were done, you turned to Mommy and said "See, that's how you put on makeup!"

5) Right after Pesach cleaning your room, you were really in the Pesach spirit, so you turned to Mommy and asked "Do we sleep on Pesach?".
