Here are a few of my favorite things that she has done/said over the past few months:
- Was putting Asha to bed and she said to me, "My blanket doesn't fit me anymore". I told her it's because she is becoming such a big girl. "But I don't want to be a big girl Mama, I want to stay little", she said. I said, "Hon, when you're a big girl you can do so many more things than when you're a little girl. She then said, "Then I can make coffee like Nana right?" Thanks Nana!
- Before Christmas Asha said to me, "I want to see Jesus". I said, "you won't see Jesus until you go to Heaven one day". Then Asha said, "Can I maybe bring my princess dress to Heaven?"
- I bought Asha her own flower seeds to plant and watch as they grow. I was explaining that we needed to put 3/4 of the soil in the pot first, then the seeds. Asha ran suddenly to the bedroom and came back with three "quarters". Yep, my daughters a genius!
- I am absolutely in love with Asha and love her sooo much. I'm singing to her just before she's about to go to sleep and she reaches up, cups my cheek in her hand and says, " You're my girl Mama". Made me melt.
- From time to time, we are lucky enough to wake up to Asha singing in the morning (which we hear through the baby monitor). One morning in particular, she was singing, "♬I love Daddy in my life, I love Mama in my life, I love Papa in my life, I love Nana in my life...♬". Too sweet!
- Me and Asha were having a bath tonight. She's washing and washing and washing my hair for like thirty minutes straight! I know, my hair's gotta be clean right? Anyway, I say to her, "Wow honey... you should be a hair dresser for work cause you are really good at this". Asha then replied in a very matter of fact way, sounding annoyed, "Mama, I already do this for my work". "Really? Where do you work?" I asked. Asha replied, "SaskTel".
- Funny how a two and a half year old can already know what looks good and what does not. Asha was trying on several of her bathing suits over her clothes one day and said (referring to the pink suit), "This one is just not right! It's not fashionable enough". I am sensing a diva in the midst!
- Asha is a huge candy buff and it's not her fault. Her daddy is just as bad. One of the funniest things Asha did was when she came running up to me and said, "Mama, got someting special fo yo, a jelly bean". I said, "Awe thank you honey. Where is it"? Asha says, "In my mouth". So thoughtful!
- Speaking of candy AGAIN, Asha absolutely loves gum and I had run out and had none left. Asha quietly sat in her spot, put her head down and hands together and said, "Jesus, more gum. Amen.
- Can't have a list without something to do with the potty. One morning Asha found Scott at the 'potty' and says, "whatchya doin' Daddy"? Daddy says, "I felt like I had to go potty so I'm going potty." Asha in her cute voice says, "Good boy Daddy. I am sooooo proud of you. Want a sticker"?
Honestly, there are probably 100 more things I could list but these are the few that stand out to me the most. Every day she says at least something so sweet that all Scott and I can do is look at each other and simply, smile.
We love our little clown so much.
