Thea's-Remarks

The following page is to record funny anecdotes of Thea...


 * January/2007** - Thea was talking about her baby sister coming, and I asked if she was going to be a real help to Mommy with her little sister. She said "yes, I'm going to play with her, and read her books, and change her diaper.......well, except for the poopy ones. YOU can change those!"


 * February 6, 2007 -** Thea and I were out shoveling yesterday and after we finished, she got into the shovel and I ran down the sidewalk, pushing her. She was yelling "wheeeeeeeeee" the whole time, so something tells me she liked it! :)


 * February/2007** - Thea is totally into acting out the Cinderella story. Sometimes she is Cinderella and I play all the other parts....the prince, the stepsisters, the Grand Duke bringing the slippers. Other times she likes me to be Cinderella while she plays the other parts. One time Mom was there while we were doing this and Thea was Cinderella, I was the Grand Duke and Thea says to Mom "you can be the ugly Stepmother".


 * February/2007** - Thea likes to sing....ALL the time..... The other day in the car she was singing the Bingo song. She sings "P-R-N-G-O and Bingo was his nameo". Apparently spelling isn't one of her strong suits....


 * February 6, 2007** - Thea and I went to a birthday party and there was a lady there who was talking about her mother, who was away on a holiday. Thea pipes up and says "that's called gallivanting". I thought the adults were going to pee on the floor, laughing so hard.


 * April 1, 2007** - Thea and I were driving in the car yesterday and I was talking to her about her friend, Erin, getting a new little sister. I told her that the baby was going to be called Renee. Thea said "I think that's a nice name......but I think I'll just call her Thea!". Apparently she's decided she needs a namesake, at the ripe old age of 3 1/2!


 * April 9, 2007** - We were in Lethbridge visiting the Dixon clan there. Thea walks into the room, wrinkles up her nose and announces "I just found a pair of socks on the floor. I smelled them. They're Sean's!"


 * April 16, 2007** - I took Thea to her gymnastics class tonight. Part way through the class she broke away from the group and ran over to the railing. She looked up at me and said "Mommy, I have something to tell you." I assumed she was going to say she had to go potty.......but then she said, "I love you!". Made my day....my year! Thea, you are truly God's blessing in my life!


 * April 22, 2007** - We went for a walk yesterday and she and I were on the top of the play structure at the school near our house. She looked down at Greg and sang "I'm the queen of the castle and you're the dirt on the rascal". I'm thinking that is worse than actually BEING the rascal! :)


 * September 7, 2008** - It was Megan's 2nd birthday yesterday and we had a party with my parents, Greg's parents, the Bishops and the Cunningham/Bracht's. Fun time! The next day at supper we were talking about the party and how much fun it had been, and Thea sighs and says "it seems like only yesterday.....". :)


 * September 9, 2008** - Thea had her second full day of kindergarten yesterday. When she came home, one of the things I asked her was what friends she was spending time with. She mentioned Taliya and Skylar (her friends from preschool) and then she said Matthew. Then she proceeded to tell me that she was going to marry Matthew! Hopefully they have a loooooooong engagement..... :)


 * September 29, 2008** - Thea and I went for a walk together tonight - just the two of us. It was really nice to have some one on one time together. We were walking along and she said how much she enjoyed spending time just with me, and I told her I felt that way too and told her how special she was to me. We were having a wonderful Mother/Daughter moment.....then in the next breath she says "Mommy........I have to fart". Gotta love her! :)


 * October, 2008** - Thea and I were drawing together the other day and she was drawing the sun and rainbows (her favorite). Then she started to write letters and tell me what they "spelled". First she wrote (in her own language, of course) "I love you Mommy". Then I wrote one back and told her it said "I love you too, Thea." Then she wrote another one and when I asked what it said (expecting another sweet, heartfelt message.....), she said "my butt is on fire!".


 * January 14, 2009** - I was dropping Thea off at school this morning. I usually walk her in and leave her at the elevator, once I see her get in (she is shy about going in there alone if there are other people there, so I wait to make sure she is on her way before I go). This morning, she wanted me to ride down in the elevator with her, which is unusual. We had time, so I did. Once we got in and the doors closed, she grins and says "I had to fart, so I wanted to trap you in here with me!" What a rotter! More like her Dad every day...... :)


 * January 19, 2009** - Megan said her first prayer the other day. We were having lunch and I asked who wanted to pray. She threw up her little hand and said "me, me, me". I told her to tell Jesus thank you for the food, so she says "Ta ta Jesus". It was pretty sweet. Afterwards Thea said she had better add to the prayer.....so she says "and bless it to our bodies use. Amen!" hee hee


 * March 2009** - Megan is very good at counting to 10, but she always skips number 7. I know that she KNOWS how to say 7, but it's become a game. The other day, we were having a snack of pretzels, and I put 7 pretzels on the table. I said "let's count the pretzels". Megan starts counting, gets to 6, and then pops the last one in her mouth and chews it up......grinning the whole time!


 * April 2009** - On our trip to Mexico, the 4 of us had a picture taken with Mommy holding a big iguana. When we were looking at the picture afterwards, I was pointing out all the people in the picture to Megan asking her "who's this?" and "who's that?". I pointed to the picture of the iguana and asked "who's this?". Without missing a beat, Megan looked at my Mom, grinned and said "Grandma".


 * June 2009** - Greg and I were going out for supper one night, so I asked Thea what I should have for she and Megan for supper. I asked if she would rather have chicken fingers or pizza. She said "well, that depends.....what's in the chicken fingers?". When I told her "chicken", she said that she would definitely like them then..... :)


 * May 12, 2010** - I was talking to Thea in the car on the way to work this morning about our trip to the park yesterday - we had a Mommy/Daughter date. She was saying she wished we could have stayed out there longer. I said that we enjoyed the time we COULD be there, and that Mommy was like a monkey, climbing on the play structure. Then I paused and said "well....I guess an old monkey" and she says "yeah.....a VERY old monkey". Kids - they call it like they see it!!! :)
