iPhoneography // But Not a DRAGON!!

PhotoOne of the fun little things I’ve tried to keep up is having Gracen pick a new fruit or vegetable to take home and investigate during our weekly shopping trips.  Though she seriously contemplated a papaya, she ended up selecting this particular dragon fruit today.  This is the conversation that ensued while browsing the other aisles…

Gracen:  What’s dis one called again, Mama?

Mama:  It’s a dragon fuit.  We’ll cut it open when we get home and see what’s inside.

Gracen: NOT a DRAGON though, right Mama?!

Hah!  Silly little goose.

Huncle Pet

IMG 7182For some reason, Gracen’s taken to calling her Uncle Brett ‘Huncle Pet’ recently and it’s quickly become one of those weird things you catch yourself saying as though it’s become the norm all of a sudden.  I have no idea how or why it came about, but they do make a pretty adorable pair, don’t they?

Taylor Swift Hair

Gracen: (lifting up my loosely braided ponytail and turning her head sideways to inspect it)  Mama, you’re just like Taylor Swift.  Taylor Swift does her hair like this.

Ugh.

Parenting fail of the day…

Grae comes back from the kitchen where she was changing her clothes (she’s all about having “privacy” these days) and says, “I had some of my milk!”  We’d stopped by a coffee shop earlier and she still had some of her steamed milk left when we arrived back to the apartment, but I knew it had been put in the fridge.  What hadn’t been put into the fridge though?  My leftover skim latte that was in the exact same kind of cup.  Ugh.

At 2 and half, the girl hasn’t had sugar or fast food and eats very few things that are processed, but she’s had her first swig of coffee.  Super. 

Just Like Papa

IMG 6410This morning I was beckoned by the usual “Mama, Mama – bum wiiiipe!” call from the bathroom, and arrived to find this.  My little lady, perched up on the toilet, sporting self-drawn Papa eyebrows just as I had drawn on her yesterday during our face painting station fun.  Hah!

Never a dull moment!

On Love.

While laying in the big bed chatting this morning…

Mama: Grae, do you remember what Valentine’s Day is all about?

Gracen: Yes. (very surely) It’s about love.  

(pause)

And love is all about LICKING!

Table Talk

While waiting for our lunch at Earls today…

Gracen: I’m a big girl now.  A big, BIG, BIIIIIIIIG girl.  

Mama: Yes you are, Grae.

Gracen: I can use a tampon now?

Oh dear.

Gracen Says

Gracen is wearing her footie jammies superhero style (with just the arms on and the legs flying loose behind her) and Bella is all up in her business as usual….

Gracen:  (very sternly) Leave it, Bella.  Grae Grae’s Batman.

 

While in the bathroom this morning…

Gracen: (pointing to something on the counter) Grae have one of dose, Mama? 

Mama:  One of which, Bubba?

Gracen:  (pointing to a box of tampons) One of dose.

Mama: You want a tampon?

Gracen: Yes. 

Mama: What for, sweetie?

Gracen: (very matter of factly) For my ‘gina.

 

Never a dull moment with this little monkey around…

En Francais

We’re riding the Canada Line, and a man wearing a baseball cap gets on…

Gracen: (loudly) Dat man wearing red hat, Mama.  (now shouting) Bon chapeau, Man!

We can thank her Papa for this one…

♥

Babe.

Gracen’s been really into names lately, and she’s constantly asking, “Her name is?” or “His name is?”  about people and characters she doesn’t know.  Here’s a little conversation that took place tonight during dinner…

Gracen: Mama’s name is Jennifer?
Mama:  Yes, it is. What is Papa’s name?
Gracen: Babe. (pause) Papa’s name is Babe.
 
Love her.

Never EVER.

Miss G has been a fan of Taylor Swift’s ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together‘ for a long while now, but just recently she’s taken her sing-a-longs to a whole new level.  If you’ve ever seen the video, you know that it starts and ends with Taylor sitting in front of a window and for part of it, she talks into an old-school cordless phone.

Never Ever

Well now, when this little monkey wants to sing one of her very favourite tunes, she must be standing looking out a window, and she must have her ‘never ever phone’ in hand.

Singing Window Front

Here she is singing away…

Perhaps we have a little musician in the making?

Baby Chef

IMG 1488This morning Grae and I woke up and decided on pancakes for breakfast.  We were just about to gather our ingredients as the phone rang.  As I snuck in a very quick conversation with my sister-in-law, Miss G got started without me apparently…  Anyone up for cornmeal-cocoa-double-salt-tomato pancakes?

You don’t want to know how much salt was already poured into the bowl…
