Better Late Than Never!

I always tell myself this...It helps me feel better when I slack :) Anyway, below is a picture of one part of our Valentines date. Eric and I went to a dance hosted by the stake and held at our church building with Eric and Bea... It was really fun to be together and to not worry about miss Shanna running around crazy!

Shanna -- Wild One

Age: 4 years!
Nicknames: Goose, Shanna banana, Shannaroo
What does Shanna say now?
"Could you get chicken nunnets from the freezerater?"
In our home we try to help Shanna not say words like stupid, dumb, or substitute words like "dang it". Well one night Eric was helping her pray before bed and he said, "Please help me to make good choices." and Shanna repeated it and promptly punched her pillow and said, "dang it."
"Ring around the rosies, pockalittledoodoo, ashes, ashes we all fall down."
Shanna: "Oh you have a pretty hair thing mommy?" (pointing to the flower clip in my hair)
Me: "Yes I do, do you like it?"
Shanna: "Yes! Daddy will come home and he will dance with you!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Achoo, could you bless me?"
Shanna had to go potty at Grandma's house one day and so she said, "Grandma, you stay here, I will be right back." Grandma said, "Ok I will sit on my blue chair." When Shanna was done, Grandma said, "Now I need to go potty." Shanna said, "Ok I will sit in your blue chair." When Grandma came out she looked over at Shanna and saw that she was seated in her blue chair with her blanket draped over her knees exactly the way Grandma often placed it, had Grandma's glasses on her face and was carefully turning the pages of Grandma's school textbook. She often found Grandma in this exact position.
Me: "Shanna, what does a rooster say?"
Shanna: "Cock a little dude"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Look at my eyes!" (This is usually said when either Eric or I aren't paying attention to what she is saying.)
First Prayer: "Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for the blessings, thank you for the prophet, thank you for the food and the apples, Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
"Thats so embarrassing, all the time!"
(Said as we turn onto Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's street) "There's Grandma's house! My sweet little Grandma. She is such a sweet girl!"
"Come here my little daddy."
"This is reedy reedy good Mommy!"
One day I was drawing on the chalkboard some stick figures of grandma and grandpa. I drew a triangle shape for grandma's dress and Shanna turns to me and says,
Shanna: "Oh mommy is that her bib?"
Me: "No Shanna, thats her dress."
Shanna: "Oh! Thats her pretty dress so all her dreams can come true?!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ummmm...Kinda yeah.." (Said with head tilted and eyes to the side)
"Look, I am kinda like a princess."
"My eyes aren't working!" (Said when she's been crying and her eyes are filled with tears so that she can't see anything)
"I am so proud of you" (This is usually said when we do something she is really happy with, Ex: take her to the park.)
