Friday Funnies - Megan (almost) 2 1/2

Megan has, unfortunately, entered the "why" stage.  It seems that every answer to a question I give is followed by another "why" and another and another.  But that doesn't mean she's stopped making us grin and laugh.

For instance, Megan and I were outside Monday morning since I was off for Labor Day.  We had been filling up some little buckets with water from the garden hose when all of a sudden she had some other ideas.  "Mom, run!" Megan would scream with the hose still pointed down.  Then all of a sudden she would get a wicked grin on her face, lift the hose up and spray all the way across the patio in my direction.  I think she loved watching me run and scream!

Then, the stuff she says...  During our finger painting project outside, I think I actually did more painting than Megan did.  But I always asked her if I should put this color here or that color there.   Megan would often reply with a "Yes, good idea, Mommy!"  Then last night as I was feeding Owen some rice cereal, Megan grabbed another one of Owen's baby spoons and continued to pour apple juice from her sippy cup into it, slurp it out and say, "Um... delicious"!

And then there was the time I made her smell Owen's diaper to see if he pooped.  She usually just smells in the general area but I had her get real close.  Boy did that nose ever wrinkle up!

Megan and I went to Target on Sunday and of course, she had to pick her favorite cart.  You know, the full sized cart with the two really big seats behind it.  As I buckled her in she kept pointing to the seat on the left saying that was Alexa's seat.  I told her that when Owen is older he will sit in that side.  Megan looked at me with all sincerity and concern saying, "But where will Alexa sit??"

Plain and simple... "When Owen is bigger he can eat ice cream!"

John and I took turns reading Megan's first bedtime book to her one night.  I read the baby bunny part while John read the Daddy bunny.  When that book was done John read the first page of the second book.  He turned the page and didn't say anything.  Megan must have liked us reading together because she looked at me seriously and said, "READ".  Just the way she said it cracked me up and sent me to the bathroom before I made a mess!

One of our attempts to get Megan to potty is using a kitchen timer.  She definitely gets the concept, just doesn't always follow through to actually use it as such.  Anyways, on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Minnie has a birthday and everyone is throwing her a party.  When their timer goes off to signal the cake being done baking, Megan exclaimed, "Daisy, potty break!"
