...the darndest things

I am really loving the fact that Gracie and I can have conversations now. She is getting to be a lot of fun and I love hearing her vocabulary and speech improve. Some of the things she says don't really seem "blog worthy" but I'm hoping not to forget them. It is also funny to see the things that Justin and I probably say all the time repeated by her. I find it amusing to watch Gracie play with her dolls and tell them the rules of the house. The other day she even reminded me to get back in the kitchen with something I was eating. Here are some of Gracie's latest gems.

#1)Maggie: We're going to go visiting teaching in a minute
Gracie: That sounds like fun

#2) Maggie overhears Gracie in the bathroom
Gracie: Is it cold, Gracie? (Maggie peeks in and sees Gracie perched on the toilet dipping her toe in the icy toilet water :)).

#3)Gracie (on the way home from a friend's house): How 'bout, I take a nap?

#4)Justin (holding up a pair of slacks he's never worn to church): Hey Maggie, Can I wear these to church?
Maggie: Yeah, they look nice
Gracie (makes entrance from other room to see Justin): Uhhh, probably you can't wear those
Justin: Why not?
Gracie: Probably they don't match
(BTW- he really did match)

#5) Gracie is getting really good at retelling stories we tell her at night. My favorite story to hear her tell is about the time Justin's dog, Patches, got lost.

I love reading those, even the little ones. Always blog worthy in my mind.

Too cute! Jonas and I were saying just last night that we need to write down those funny things that Kjersten says. Gracie is such a little woman!

It is nice when they talk and can have conversations. Kids say the cutest things.

Does she often talk in 3rd person, Gollum style? "Gracie doesn't like the nasty mommy, does she? She's cruel..."

I hope that made you laugh and you know I'm tjk.

Gracie's a riot. I loved hearing all she had to say when I was there, especially hearing her call me Uncle Bob. The toilet story is my absolute favorite, and probably they don't match.
