She said what?!

Delainey has been somewhat witty this past week! I had told her a few different times not to do something and she continued. Finally, I asked her why she couldn't listen to mommy and she responded with "Momma, I have little ears so I can't hear you!" It may have been the funniest thing she has ever said, and I couldn't help but crack up. How do kids come up with these sayings?! Not only do they come up with sayings no one would ever think of, but they usually do it when you're having a bad day and it just seems to make everything better! :)

So, not only is Delainey extremely witty....she has one CRAZY imagination! First of all, I'm not sure if I had posted this before but Delainey has mysteriously made some "friends" from "school." Everyone knows she does not attend school yet. Well, there are 3 of them and their names are Struptsa, Struptsa, and Trixpa. Now, if you can picture the imaginary friends just keep reading! One afternoon we were both in the living room watching some tv while she played with her Barbies. Out of the blue I hear "My "momma's" in the kitchen cooking." I in turn asked her what she was talking about because I was sitting on the couch. She looked at me and goes "My mom's in the kitchen cooking and my "brother Carl" is eating the food she made." I said ok because I had finally realized that she was pretending. Well....it gets better! About 15 minutes go by and she starts talking presumably to herself but of course, being curious, I ask who she's talking too. She tells me that her "brother Carl" had finished eating and they were talking about her "grandkids" coming over! I started laughing so hard! Not only does my 3 year old have 3 imaginary friends from school, she also has a mom in the kitchen cooking for her brother Carl and a bunch of grandkids! HAHAHAHAHA!!

The time has come for Delainey to be registered for Head Start. We went this afternoon and filled out all of the paper work but of course I had forgotten some things so we will be making another trip up there tomorrow. She is so excited about going to school. She'll be picked up and dropped off at the house by a little bus and will attend 1/2 days 5 days a week. We're praying she gets accepted and I don't see why she wouldn't. I also made sure that she'd be able to miss some time when we go to Utah for her to visit Chris. The lady said that shouldn't be a problem just to let them know ahead of time when she will not be there!

How do you break it to a 3 year old that her daddy won't be coming to town as originally expected?! Well, that happened this afternoon. Chris was sent down to Tacoma last week and I had been avoiding telling Delainey that she wouldn't be able to see him at the ballpark. She kept mentioning going to the game to see her daddy and I would always try to tell her that she may not get to see him in town but she would be going to daddy's house soon. Today she talked to Chris on the phone and he told her he wouldn't be coming to town. When we got off the phone, I explained that daddy wasn't going to be coming to town but that she was going to go visit him at his house. At first she didn't really understand but after explaining it a little further she got upset. She had her little lip pout and saying ok. Once it finally sank in that she would get to go to daddy's house she got excited and named off everyone she wants to see (very enthusiastically she said...Grandma, and long haired Grandma (yeah...I don't know the difference...lol), Aunt Missy, Isabelle, Uncle Brady, Little Brady, and Ki.) So, all in all, I think telling her that Chris wouldn't be coming to town turned out alright because now she's excited about going to Utah again to visit all of her family there!
