Well, the little bean has been on a naughty streak for a few weeks now, so she has been a bit more annoying than funny. But she did come up with some pretty funny stuff in the last few days...
She is on a tricycle ride with her dad, when she stops mid-pedal and asks to take off her helmet.
"I'm not going to ride with it off, I just want to sit here and feel the breeze in my hair".
Then this morning I noticed a few extra hershey kisses are missing from her advent stocking (she gets one per day until Christmas eve).
"There are some in the drawer over there, Mom".
"Why are they in the drawer?"
"Because the baby was going to crawl up there and shove them all in her mouth".
Ah, the imagination of an almost-three-year=old.

Lots to catch up on...
I compile the little bean's comments on a white board on the fridge so I don't forget any of these little gems. I have quite a few to add today!
"Mom, when you are done cleaning up, let's just go play for a few hours"
"This pancake batter is so yummy, it makes my teeth feel all shiny"
"Oh, you have crafts for me? That's cool"
"and everywhere that Larry went that lamb was sure to go"
Momma: "Who is that card for?"
LB: "Grandpa Chuck"
M: "Um, I don't think he can get a card, since he is dead"
LB: "That's OK, I'm going to give it to him when he's done dying. And my friend Bruiser too, I'm going to make a card for him too"
"I don't like my sleeping bag. Let's take my bed apart, pack it in my suitcase and drive it up to Grandma Barbara's house for next time"
"No way Jose"
"This is the baby's trick or treat bag. But not for candy, it is only for milk"
She's really been on a roll!

Girl's night out, Part II
The next day..."Mom, did you have fun with your girlfriends last night?"
"Yes, little bean, I did"
"Next time, Daddy can go out with his boyfriends".
"Well, he calls them guy friends, not boyfriends".
"I'll ask him if he has guy friends or boyfriends".
And she did. And they are guy friends ;)
"Yes, little bean, I did"

Girl's night out
"Hey little bean, guess what? Your dad is going to be watching you and the baby tonight, because I am going out with my friends".
"OK Mom, I'm going out with my friends too. My little kid friends".
"OK Mom, I'm going out with my friends too. My little kid friends".

stick fighting and Shabbat
"I've got that Shabbat feeling down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart. I've got that Shabbat feeling down in my heart, down in my heart today..."
She repeats with down in my knees, toes, up on my head, up in my hair, on my arms......
Heads over to her toys.
"I've got that shabbat feeling stuck in my wheels (doll stroller), stuck on my handles (doll stroller), on my table, all over the big table, on my pillows, on my boob (pointing to mom), on my baby, on my dad" She repeated the entire verse for every item she could see. This went on for at least 15 minutes. Glad to see the Shabbat feeling was so pervasive this week.
On a walk with her dad this evening, she found a couple of sticks. One was quite large and she was told not to play with it, so she wouldn't poke herself, dad or the baby. "OK Dad, you carry that one then". They are walking along, each with their stick, when she announces, "Hey Dad, let's stick fight". Dad says, "How do you know about stick fighting?" Little bean says, "Mom watches it on TV". He decides to let that go, and ask me about it later. He continues,"Honey, I can't stick fight with you right now (or ever), because I'm holding the baby". "That's OK Dad, you just need one hand".
PS-I don't watch "stick fighting" on TV. I try not to watch TV in front of the little bean in general, since she picks up enough weirdness from everyday life.

Not too remarkable, but sort-of sweet
"I love my baby sister. I call her: Sissy-Pissy-Wissy-Gilly-Gilly" Followed by lots of smothering kisses.
She also prepared them both for an imaginary trip to the beach, stacking rings placed on the baby's arms for floaties, then a book filled with keys, phone, wallet, and 2 tiny books. She made sure to show me that she included the books. I'm not sure why, I've never brought books to the beach before!
