Another bunch of Abby words:

My sweet cousin Joanne is unquestionably the best blog/journal keeper ever.  As kids, I was always impressed at her diligence in journaling and she is still great.  On her blog, she had a cute post entitled, "She got that from you!"  It was a list of all the things her Emily says.  I reminded me that I need to post a few of the silly things that Abby says.  Abby has sort of moved past the parrot stage, and is now coming up with totally random statements, comments, and made up words.  Keep in mind, this is a little bit for my purposes, but I think that you'll enjoy it. 
  • I was putting Abby to bed one night and suddenly she was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she replied, "Mom, your big bum hit me." 
  • "I don't eat that, it's not Abby food."  
  • When she first saw Zoey in the hospital, "That's enough baby.  Stop crying."
  • She looked at my hair and said, "Mom, your hair is turning orange."
  • When I was putting Abby to bed I said, "Good-night, thanks for being a nice girl today." Abby said, "Good-night mom, thanks for being a nice Melanie."
  • When she does anything new she exclaims, "Mom, I'm brave!"
  • "Mom, you're the boss!" 
  • Abby asked me to go to the mall this morning. When I told her no, she cried for her dad and said, "Daddy will take me."
  • When she gets up in the morning she asks, "Is it Good Morning?"  This is took check and see if I'll let her out of bed.
  • "Mom, taste my arm." This one wins as the most random comment ever!
  • When referring to any puppy or Zoey she says, "Oh she a Hauney."  
  • I realized last night during prayers that Abby needs some explanation on homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled different with different meanings). I said to bless all our aunts and uncles and Abby was terrified that I was blessing the ants outside. She insisted that we re-say the prayer and not include the ants in the yard.
  • Abby has a tendency to identify things in her own way and not at all by the actual name:
    • Toy Story toys = Toy Story "Fings"
    • Toy Story 2 = Toy Story with Jessie
    • Toy Story = Toy Story with Woody, Buzz and not Jessie
    • CocoCrispies = cereal that turns your milk chocolate
    • Honey Comb = bee cereal
    • Spaghetti = Noodles with sauce
    • grilled cheese sandwich = a cheezy
    • Johnson's baby shampoo = orange shampoo
  • Abby pulled the Deseret Book catalog out of the mailbox and ripped the cover clean off. She then looked at the cover and said, "Oh sorry Jesus. I didn't mean to."
  • "These pants are so ugly I can't even walk."
  • Abby said was grumpy today. A few minutes later she said, "Mom, you're grumpy too. Be happy."
  • Abby woke up at 6 one morning singing, "I'm wishing, I'm wishing..." from Snow White. I told her it was time to go back to sleep and to, "Shhhh". She told me, "Don't shhh me...I'm wishing, I'm wishing."
  • "I don't like apples, get that off of the counter!
  • She calls me "Melnie" you'll notice there is a syllable missing there and Ned, Ned and not dad.  She'll say, "Mom, Ned is home" or "Melanie, don't do that."  I don't think that's great, but it is funny.
I may have to add more as time goes on, but for now this is a pretty good list.

First of all, you're way too sweet. I really DON'T (totally missed that word the first time posting a comment) think of myself as a great journal writer. Secondly, that list was hilarious! My favorites were the "bum" one and the Deseret Book one. She is so so so cute!
