2 Year Old Sayings

I love to hear how 2 year olds think. A friend of mine just posted about her 2 year old and it made me realize, I need to document more of what my 2 year old says.

At target we saw a helicopter in the sky.

Dani: "A elecopter . . . Dada, what lives in a elecopter?"

(note: she believes Nana and Papa, and Grandpa live in an airplane. Also, "live" in her vocabulary is synonymous to "belong" as in her books live on the bookshelf)

Later that night we went to Chili's restaurant. As we were getting out of the car she noticed the big chili on top of the restaurant and said:
"A apple on top!!! That be Funny!"
We then explained to her that it was a chili like the restaurants name and now every time she sees it she asks to go to Chili's kind of like we used to ask to go to McDonald's as kids.

Dani is quite dramatic at times. The last week of February I noticed something that looked like a rash on her heal. She didn't seem bothered by it, was walking just fine and didn't really notice when we touched it. It turns out her skin was just getting overly dry. The natural creases in her foot started to crack a little and I mentioned this to Trent and said "poor baby your skin cracked"

Then on the first of March she was looking at the bottom of her foot and began to sob saying "Dani foot twacked! Dani foot broken". She was quite inconsolable for a while until I decided to put lotion and socks on to help it soften the skin. For at least 2 weeks following she demanded to have lotion and socks on at all times and would cry if she saw the bottoms of her feet.

We were watching Blue Planet on Netflix and a Sea Lion showed up on the screen. Trent mentioned that it was a "huge" Sea Lion and then asked Dani if she knew what "huge" meant. She promptly responded "It's a kind of big" and then her eyes brightened because she made a connection. She looked directly at me and said enthusiastically "like momma's belly!".

Luckily, I knew not to take offense to this because I'm not really showing at the moment, I'm still wearing my regular clothes, and she is somewhat obsessed about my belly growing bigger for the baby.

Nana and Papa sent me a Printer/Scanner/Copier for my birthday. When I brought the package in, Dani said
"A Present! For Dani?"
I corrected her to say it was for me from Nana and Papa. She ran up to the box, gave it a big hug and said "I Love it! I Love it! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! Let's open it!"

4/6/10 (don't know the exact date, this is approximate, but it often gets repeated)
We've been working on getting Dani to use the big potty rather than just her little one. She told me she needed to go so we went into the bathroom in our room because it was the closest. She runs up to the toilet and gives it a great big hug.
She said something like, "This is my favorite toilet! I love it!"
I was just grateful I had recently cleaned it.
