Parents Say the Darndest Things.

Everybody loves to tell you about the cute thing their kid just said. What they don't as readily admit is what crazy things you say to your kid when they are pre-talkers and you have no idea how much they truly understand of what you're telling them or why they've done the crazy thing they just did.

So I've been compiling this list for a few days, crazy and embarrassing thought it may be (these are all as verbatim as I can remember). I give you, Crazy Things We've Said to Our Daughter:

"Kenna, we don't pull all the stuffing out of our pillows, baby."

"Pontouf doesn't need lotion on her face, Kenna."

"Kenna, do not pry the cabinet open with your spoon."

("Mommy, toes off!")
"no Kenna, the baby's toes don't come off."

... and my absolute favorite?

"Kenna, we don't play with Mommy's breast pump cups like a trumpet. Go put them back please."

Classic.

And just to keep the record fair, though we've had lots of "no, mine!" around these parts, here are a few of the cute and sweet things Kenna bear has been saying recently.

Yeah to everything. Do you want some juice? "Yeah, juice." Do you want to get in the car and go to the store? "Yeah! Cahr! Stow!"

"there it is!"/"here it is!"

pappies = paci

butts= blanket/blankies

taaaaa! = ta da!

night night = pillow

mommy nam = yes ma'am mommy

and my favorite:
happy = cookie

We love this wild crazy girl:
