After I sneezed really hard (and said ohhhh no under my breath) she said “UH OH MAMA…need harper change you?” and she said it so compassionately as she was rubbing my knee.
“When Daddy comes home, no Harper sleep in Mama’s bed, Harper sleep in Harper’s bed!”. And when I said “why?”. She says “because mama and daddy need special time, mama daddy need PLAY!” And, bless her heart, I had to bite my tongue.
The sweet little thing said this b/c every time Sadie naps, we have special time together and play games, but of course I have my mind in the gutter, and this cracked me up big time.
“oh oh, GOODNESS…where my keys? Harper need GO. Harper need high heels!”
where are you going harper?
“i go date with daddy”
oh really?
“harper go ahh gannistan”
(when I put her in the bath) “OH THIS BE COLD! THIS BE NICE! THIS BE SO ‘FRESHING!” refreshing? really? heeee
“Harper want to wear dress. I loooove fashion!”
“mumblemumble LOVE YOU!”
oh, i love you too, baby!
“NO MAMA I LOVE MY COOKIES!!”
(looking at cookies tenderly with head cocked she says in a small voice)
“i love you so so much”
upon seeing me snack on Goldfish
“NO DAT BE GLUTEN FREE. DAT HURT HARPER’s TUMMY”
to the little boy playing with the train at barnes and noble
“SHARING BE CARING!”
when she sees that the barney at our LSS has no eyeballs
“where go EYEBALLS? i eat them”
me- what did they taste like?
“CHICKEN!”
what do you want for supper tonight?
“diet chicken!!”
Just a small taste of the whirlwind that is Harper.
Do you see why sometimes, at my wit’s end, I say
HARPER!
could we
just
be
quiet
for a second?
can we
just
sit
quietly?
mommy’s brain hurts.
