Ava-isms {Day 25}

So tonight is one of those nights that if I wasn't in the midst of this little blog challenge I definitely wouldn't blog. I am really running out of things to say! Tonight my best friends & I went out on a very long overdue girl's night out. We had such a fun time. We went to eat at this southern food place called Fred's w/ the most unbelievable buffet you've ever seen. We seriously overate--I had to lay down in the backseat on the way to our movie b/c it hurt to sit up straight :) Anyways, as they were driving me home I asked what they thought I should write about & they said I should share some Ava-isms with you. I have kept a journal since Ava started talking of the sweet & silly things she says. Here are some of my very favorites:

• "Daddy is a prince & his name is Charming!" (2 years old)


• We were talking about how Jesus was our Rescuer while we were driving & Ava piped up from the back seat & asked, "Does Jesus wear a cape?" (2 years old)


• "Is chocolate medicine Mommy?" (2 years old)


• I was pouring Ava some water before bed & she started running in circles around the kitchen. When I asked her what she was doing she said, "I'm running really fast so Jane can come home!" (2 years old)


• Ava refuses to wear pig tails...she will only wear "tree frog tails" and "zebra tails" (2 years old)


• After learning how God changed Saul's name to Paul you told me that Pinnochio (who she called PinnociNO) used to be called Pinnochiyes but God changed his name to Pinnochino (3 years old)


• We were listening to the radio & the announcer came on & she asked, "Is that God talking?" (3 years old)


• Erin & I were at lunch one day & our waiter was really sleazy and flirty. He kept calling us ladies (imagine it with a sleazy accent). When he walked away Ava said, "Mommy, he sure does like the ladies!" (3 years old)


• One Sunday Ava decided she wanted to dress like Thomas the Train. So I dressed her in a blue skirt--b/c you know, he's blue. She looked down at her dress, bewildered & said, "Mommy! Trains don't wear skirts & shoes! They wear paint and wheels!" (3 years old)


• Grandma bought her some new sandals & when she tried them on she yelled "Wow! I look like Jesus now!!" (3 years old)


• "This popsicle is just so tasteable!" (3 years)


• One night we were at the beach w/ all the college students for a worship service. Ava kept playing with the reeds behind us & I told her to stop b/c she was being a distraction. SO she looked up at the sky & said "Jesus, can I keep pulling these reeds out?" Then w/ a very high-pitched squeaky voice (like she was talking FOR Jesus) she said, "Yes Ava--that's ok--it's ok with me". Then she turned to me & said, "See Mommy--Jesus said it was ok!" (3 years old)


• To her babysitter: "I think something is wrong with my mouth!" When asked what..."It doesn't want to eat this food!" (3 years old)


• She was coloring a picture of the Care Bear, Wish Bear and got really frustrated. Woefully she said "This doesn't look like Wish Bear--it looks like a giant meatball." (3 years old)


• While making her lunch she said "Mommy you make everything magic--just like Mary Poppins!" (3 years old)


• Last week I put Ava in a fancy dress for church & she kept saying "I am just so beautiful today! Mommy--I'm going to talk very softly today b/c I am just so beautiful!" (4 years old)


• "Mommy...baby Shepherd is SO CUTE! He has God's hair!" (4 years old)

What a silly little bug she is! She brings me so much joy I can hardly stand it :)
