Yesterday Abby insisted on stripping down into her little two year old birthday suit and running around the house like The Flash. Cutely, she had a bandaid (some white and blue thing) right above her left buttock. Even more cutely she sat upon the toilette and pronounced, “I have a cute bottom, Mama!”

Best Day Ever
Abby sometimes pays us huge complements, which we take with great joy, but one that she’s used periodically for some time now goes something like, “Mommy, you’re the best day ever.” Why Jessica is a good day is a mystery to me. She’s a great wife, a wonderful mother, but I’d sure hate to add another day to the week 😉 I’m pretty sure she’s trying to say something like, “You’re the best.” It’s cute though and it does make my day when I’m the best day ever.
A Lot on My Plate
I’ve got a lot of work to do today, but I had to post an Abbyism. She’s having a hard time understanding that my wheat allergies make most breads a bad food choice for me. So today during lunch she stated to Jessica, “Daddy can’t have bread because it makes him fat.” Yeah, that too, but it’s mostly the wheat.
Corn Girl
This afternoon when I put Abby down for her nap her breath smelled of corn chips that she’d had a little earlier with lunch. I said to her, “Good night, Corn Girl.” After about 30 seconds I heard her yelling through her closed bedroom door, “I’m Guacamole Girl!”
My mistake!
Abby DC
This evening Abby started singing some AC DC. Now, for those of you who are wondering, “How on earth do you fit into your clothes?” I’ll answer that later. For those of you wondering why my two year old was listening to AC DC it is because the skateboard video game I have has it as part of the cycling ‘musictrack.’ The song that AC DC performs is ‘TNT.’ However, Abby, being young and not the most familiar with the alphabet changed it to DAD. So she walked around this aftenoon and evening saying, “DAD, Dynomite!”
Priceless.
Spamela Hamderson*
This morning while I was dinking on a guitar and Jessica was getting ready I heard Jessica spraying her hair spray. Then I heard Jessica say, “What are you doing?!” Then I realized that it was not Jessica spraying her hair, it was Abby spraying Pam, non-stick food spray all over the oven, the floor, her hands and the plastic hamburger she was playing with. As you can expect it was a fun mess.
Then…
This afternoon Abby wanted to play “Hairbears.” No, not CareBears like the ones you remember from being a kid (unless you don’t remember those from being a kid, and then it wasn’t like that at all), but “Hairbears.” Jessica was a blue hairbear, Abby was yellow and I was red. Eventlly it was announced by Jessica that I was “fart-a-lot.” An deserved name to be sure.

Abbyisms
Several Abbyisms of late I needed to report:
We’re Going to Bring Jesus a Present
Since Christmas is Jesus’ birthday Abby assumes we’re going to His party and we’ll bring Him presents. This is going to be tough to break to her, much worse than Santa Clause (who is currently ‘A man’ whe we pass him). She cracks me up with her logical conclusions – there’s no escaping this one.
Bring It On
This morning Abby declared this one out of no where. No context demanding it, she just blurted it out. It makes things exciting around here not knowing what she’ll say next.
What You Overhear
When you’re two years old you get to overhear all sorts of things. Abby just interjected, “It has innuendo and Spider-man, Grandpa.” What was she referring to? NBC pulling Father of the Pride from their line up. She’s never once seen that show, it does have innuendo, but I don’t recall Spider-man in it 🙂 Oh, and she was talking to Grandma!
What Do Ballerinas Wear on Their Feet?
They wear Balleret shoes. That’s a combination ballerina and ballet. My little girl cracks me up with her silly words, even if she says them with all seriousness. A day will come when she knows more ‘real’ words and we’ll be sad. Of course if she was still saying balleret at 15 I’d start to worry 🙂
The Real Issues
This morning, in a disappointing episode of potty training slippage Abby peed on the floor. Jessica was scolding her and said, “Those are your pee-pees and you need to tell us when you need to go to the bathroom.”
Abby replies, “You tell John Kerry.”
Priceless! I want to know John Kerry’s stance on a two year old’s urine.
