the things she says

I

I am sure that everyone with a 3.5 year old hears the funniest things.  We are constantly laughing at the things that come out of Heidi's mouth.  A lot of the things she says are repeats of things she hears us say, I'm sure.  Then there are things that she misunderstands and says in the wrong context that crack us up.  Then there are things she comes up with that we have no idea where she heard them.  Some are funny and some are just sweet.  I try so hard to remember and write down what she says, but I usually get busy and forget.  Obviously they sound cuter when you can actually hear her voice and see her face and accompanying hand motions, but hopefully the videos I have will help me remember that part.  Due to our computer issues this will be a slow process on my end,  but I wanted to record a few of my favorites.

*Getting out of the car at the library, Heidi exclaimed, "I'm freezing to Beth in this wind!"  

*Me: Dad's at a meeting in Green River today.  I asked him how it was and he said it was pretty brown.

Heidi: (starts laughing) I think dad meant to say pretty good.  Silly dad.

*"I have the cutest little voice." (says this at random times)

*"Savanna has the cutest little personality."

*"Savanna, you're so cute and friendly."  (everything she likes is usually described as cute and friendly)

*Heidi: Why is dad at work on a Sunday?

Me: I guess he's the only one who can fix anything.

Heidi: He must be pretty special.

*When she puts on anything she thinks is really pretty, she repeatedly says, "This dress is gorgeous"--which sounds like gor-juss.

*"I sure am a busy little bean today."

*"Savanna, I think you should get off the table immediately.  You and glass bowls don't mix."

*"I need a little privacy, please"--says this whenever she is in the bathroom.

*Every night after I tuck Heidi into bed she says, "Sleep tight, mom.  Don't get a headache."  I guess that's a sign I get headaches too often.

*She likes to lecture people on their health.  She tells Jeff how he needs to eat more vegetables and less ice cream and recently told her grandma to drink water with her lunch instead of soda.  I wonder what she lectures everybody on at preschool.

*"Savanna, will you talk for me?  Can you say, 'mama?'  Can you say, 'dada?'  Can you say 'hair bow?'"  If she can get her to say hair bow I will fall over in shock.  

*She likes to take care of Savanna and often refers to herself as "mom".  For example, while trying to wipe Savanna's face she said, "Savanna, hold still for mom."  Poor Savanna, she really does have two moms most of the time.

*"I am worried sick about dad."  (said this when she found out he went to work in the middle of the night)

*"I am definitely not happy about this."

*Lately if you ask her something and she doesnt' want it or want to do it, she will say, "No, I don't want to color right now (or whatever you ask about), but thanks for asking."

*"Heidi Magdalena Hunziker needs to pee."

*While jamming out during a dance party, "My arms are getting skinnier!"

*Heidi: Savanna, get your hands off my lunch, you mean pot.
Me: Heidi, that isn't nice.  Don't talk to Savanna like that.
Heidi: Savanna, get your hands off my lunch, you nice pot.

*Me: I really want a new vacuum.
Heidi: Sometimes we don't get what we want.

*"Savanna, what's all this hullabaloo about?"  (a book we recently checked out from the library used the word hullabaloo)

*"Can you imaginary if a leprechaun came to our house?"
