trick or treating

Out trick or treating, we saw many other kids dressed in all thier many different costumes. When we passed an older kid in a "Scream" costume, mommy thought that Peanut would be scared...

Peanut: "Look at that silly guy!"

halloween candy

Mommy was getting the candy ready to hand out to soon to come trick or treaters...

Mommy: "Don't touch Peanut, you'll get tons of candy when you go out trick or treating, those ones are for the kids who come to our door"

Peanut: "I'm just looking at the candy to make sure it's good enough for the humans who come trick or treating at our house....looks good mom!"

a letter for Santa

Peanut:

"Dear Santa,

Can you please give me all of the books that were on the mail? Santa, can you please give me more toys? Cause that's not enough toys for me. Please can you get me a bone for Koda? When I go to grandma and grandpa's for Christmas I promise I'll give Koda a bone. And I would like a cute blanket with a doggy on it for my baby brother. And I think I would like a new princess game with Cinderella and Jasmine and Sleeping Beauty and Ariel. I would like even a blue blankey for my pillow to put on top of my pink blankey. I would like a badge from Santa. A sister badge for being a big sister for my baby brother. Even I would like a bike riding badge. I think daddy would like a new pencil and mommy would like a new hairstyle for her and some makeup. I would like daddy to have some beard (beer) from Santa. I would like to say can you give me a new bowl? A pink bowl.

Thank you Santa for the presents and for everything and for giving me the right presents I want to give to mommy and daddy and me. I hope you give all my friends presents soon cause you're coming soon. I hope you come tomorrow morning. I love you. Hello reindeers and elves too. I love you reindeers and I really love you elves.

Love Peanut"




After we finished writing the letter, Peanut turned to mommy....

Peanut: "Santa will read that and laugh at the beard and makeup, he'll think it's funny!"

law-breaking

Mommy and Peanut were waiting in the car while daddy ran into a store to get something....

Peanut: "You can stand up in the car when it's not moving. But if the car is moving then you can't! It's against the law. Cause if you do, then the police man will come and get you and put you in jail!"

drawing troubles

Peanut: "Mommy, I'm trying to draw a heart but I keep drawing humans, elephant foots and elephants. It's too hard, I guess I'm too little to draw a heart."

ocstacle library?

A random conversation while playing at home....

Peanut: "Is this the ocstacle library?"

Mommy: "The what library?"

Peanut: "The ocstacle library"

Mommy: "What's an ocstacle library?"

Peanut: "An ocstacle library is where humans go to get books"

Mommy: "What's an osctacle?"

Peanut: "An ocstacle is a thing you can swing on"

Mommy: "So you swing at the library?"

Peanut: "Nope."

"Ocstacle" = obstacle

snow time

Peanut: "Can I play in the snow again tomorrow?"

Mommy: "If there's still snow, sure"

Peanut: "And the next day too?"

Mommy: "Well, it's supposed to be gone by Friday, for Halloween"

Peanut: "Right, the snow's gonna go back to fall, then it'll be snow again, then spring. I'll be sad for the snow"

Mommy: "You mean when it melts?"

Peanut: "Yes, cause snow is my best! But spring is my best too, cause in spring all the flowers come"

Mommy: "That's right, then it's summer, and what happens in summer?"

Peanut: "Ummm, more flowers come out, like daisies, and the ones that stay shut"

Mommy: "You mean tulips?"

Peanut: "Yup, tulips"

coo coo

Peanut was playing in the snow (yes, I said snow, and it is October) and she found some icicles on the tree branches in our backyard...

Peanut: "I think those are coo coos"

Mommy: "They're what?"

Peanut: "Coo Coos"

Mommy: "What's a coo coo?"

Peanut: "A coo coo is what the butterflies are in, the caterpillars go in the coo coos to come out like butterflies"

Mommy: "Oh, cocoons"

Peanut: "Ya, coo coos"

French

Mommy was being silly and talking with a french accent...

Peanut: "Mommy, can you talk the normal english again?"

Mommy: "You don't like my french accent?"

Peanut: "No, cause if you talk Chinese then you'll have to move to China and you won't be my mommy anymore."

birthday wishes

Peanut: "You know who's birthday it is soon daddy?"

Daddy: "Who's?"

Peanut: "Mine! You know what I want for my birthday? A birthday balloon, with Princesses on it! With Cinderella! And you know what else I want for my birthday? I want a new sleeping beauty doll!"

Daddy: "How about a hug and a kiss?"

Peanut: "No"

Daddy: "But I thought you liked getting hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy?"

Peanut: "Hugs and kisses are lovely daddy, but they're not birthday presents!"

best friend

After getting in trouble for not listening......

Peanut: "Mommy, will you be my best friend?"

elbrows

Peanut was talking about "elbrows"....

Mommy: "What are elbrows Peanut?"

Peanut: "They're the hair on your face right here (points to her eyebrows)"

magician

Peanut had just gotten out of the bath, she put her hooded towel's hood on her head....

Peanut: "Hey, I look like a magician......look guys, where's my elbows!"

buying a house

We had an open house for our home. Later that day at dinner, Peanut got up and started walking around the kitchen looking around and nodding...

Mommy: "What are you doing?"

Peanut: "I'm just looking at the house"

Mommy: "Why?"

Peanut: "Just seeing if it's the right house for the family"

grocery shopping

Mommy had to get some groceries, and typically we go to one store for the meats and another for the bulk (the one with the meat doesn't have all the bulk products in stock)...

Peanut: "Is this the mall?"

Mommy: "No, this is the grocery store, a mall is a big building with all kinds of stores inside it. This store only has food"

Peanut: "But we have to go to another grocery store after?"

Mommy: "Yes, I buy the meat at this store and then we get the other stuff from the other store"

Peanut: "Why do you buy the meat from this store?"

Mommy: "Because the meat here is better than the other store, but they don't have all the cereal and other stuff we like, like the other store does"

Peanut: "So the meat here is from China?"

Mommy: "I shure hope not!"

Pirate talk

Peanut: "Shiver my timbers, shiver my pencil, shiver my curtains, shiver my spoon, shiver my milk, shiver my bubba, ha ha ha"

morning chit chat with mum

Peanut and mommy were eating breakfast, while almost 3 month old baby brother watched from his seat....

Peanut: "He will eat real people food when he grows up. He can eat cheerios like me and like mommy and daddy, he can eat oatmeal like me and mommy and daddy, he can drink milk like me and like mommy and daddy. He drinks milk right now, from mommy's boobies, not from my boobies, I don't have milk in my boobies, I don't have boobies."

Mommy: "You will when you grow up"

Peanut: "No!"

Mommy: "Yes you will"

Peanut: "Well maybe, and when I grow up and when I'm a mommy! I think I might be a daddy"

days of the week

Peanut was singing a song one morning while mommy was getting her breakfast ready...

Peanut: "One-day (monday), Two's-day (tuesday), Sunday....."

bed head

It was time for bed and Peanut decided she wanted to pick out her PJs, so she chose her nightgown, which came with a headband to match, which she insisted on wearing. Daddy went up to say goodnight after mommy had finished reading her books....


Daddy: "Why do you need to wear your headband to bed?"

Peanut: "Because it keeps things from going inside of my here (points to her head) while I sleep"

Daddy: "What kind of things sweety?"

Peanut: "Oh, like bad dreams and music and cows and puddles"

Pianist

Peanut was at her Grandma and Grandpa's and playing on their piano...

Peanut: "This song is called 'Call Back'"

Grandpa: "Oh, that sounds great"

Peanut: (hits a high note, then a low one, and repeats) "See, you hit the high one, then the low one calls back the high one"

after this day?

Mommy was trying to explain "tomorrow" to Peanut after a slight misunderstanding that caused her to be pretty upset that she still had to wait another day....

Peanut: "Are we going to gymnastics this day?"

Mommy: "Not today, it's in 2 days"

Peanut: "After this day?"

Mommy: "No the day after that. Not tomorrow but the next day"

The following day...

Peanut: "We're going to gymnastics today!"

Mommy: "Not today sweety, tomorrow"

Peanut: "But you said tomorrow!"

Mommy: "No, I said the day after tomorrow"

Peanut: "I thought you said this day (having a little melt down)"

Mommy: "I said the day after tomorrow, which is tomorrow. Yesterday it was 2 days, today it's 1 day. You just have to be patient, it'll come before you know it."

Peanut: "Awwwww, but waiting is boring!"

The following morning....

Peanut: "Mommy, is it tomorrow now?"

Mommy: "Well, it's today"

Peanut: "Aww, I thought you said it would be tomorrow and we can go to gymnastics!"

delighted

Mommy came to pick Peanut up from the babysitters, on the way out to the car....

Peanut: "I had a lot of fun, that was delightful!"

Mommy: "Wow, that's great!"

Peanut: "Ya, it was delightful and thankful"

Polyester PJs

Peanut had gotten a little rash on her chest and daddy came to the conclusion that it was from her polyester blend nightgown and explained to her that she needs 100% cotton pyjamas. Peanut was explaining this at day care...


Peanut: "I need to get new pyjamas because I can't have the cotton percent, I get a rash from cotton percent so I need to get new ones"

Accidents

Peanut had just woken up from her nap, and had slept in underwear rather than pull ups for a first time...

Peanut: "I kind of peed a little, but not a lot, but a little kind of got on my underwear"

Mommy: "Ok, well, then change your underwear, is it on your bed?"

Peanut: "Oh it's ok, it was kind of an accident, it wasn't a big accident, it's just a small one, it's nothing that we need to worry about, it's not a big deal, just an accident, but not a big one, just a little mistake, it's ok, nothing, nevermind"

Peanut's song

Peanut was sitting at the table coloring in her coloring book and she was singing this song she made up as she sang....

Peanut: "My name is Peanut,
I'm really really peaceful,
I'm really really delightful,
Sometimes I'm shy,
Sometimes I'm happy,
Sometimes I'm perfect,
Sometimes I'm fantastic,
Sometimes I'm quiet,
Like at a movie,
Or watching a show,
Or on the computer!"

what do you know?

Peanut: "You know what mom?"

Mommy: "What sweety?"

Peanut: "What, well tell me, what do you know?"

magic trick

Peanut was doing a magic trick on her brother who was in mommy's arms, by holding up a sheet and doing a peek-a-boo type thing....

Peanut: "Dissapear....Come back.....dissapear...come back..."

Mommy: "Do you think he likes that?"

Peanut: "Yes, he's saying 'what is my sister doing? She's trying to dissapear me and mommy!'"

If you need me

Grandpa: "I just have to go to the bathroom"

Peanut: "I don't have to cause I already went pee, all by myself! well, I kind of have to pee"

Grandpa: "Well, you go upstairs and I'll go down here"

Peanut: "Ok, Call me if you need me!"

tootin her own horn

Peanut was coloring a picture on her "Doggy Game" (computer game)....

Peanut: "I'm doing really good! I'm a natural!"

Read-ergies

At the library, Peanut ran up to mommy who was digging through the kids books for some good ones.....

Peanut: "Mommy!! I have a rash on my cheeks!"

Mommy: (sitting her down in the chair to get a good look but seeing nothing) "What do you mean? It's not red, is it itchy?"

Peanut: "Yes!"

Mommy: "I don't see anything, were you rubbing your face?"

Peanut: "It's a rash, its from reading too much"

bi-lingual-ism

Mommy took Peanut to the library, one of her favorite places. While mommy picks out tons of book to borrow that she thinks Peanut will like, Peanut usually looks through a bunch of books she pics out, most of which end up being french...

Peanut: "Mommy! can I take this one?"

Mommy: "Well, it's french so you won't be able to understand it"

Peanut: "But I can learn french"

Mommy: "Yes, when you go to school you'll learn french"

Peanut: "No, I can learn french now so I can take this book! (then proceeds to show mommy how she can read in french) A la casa beusa oh ici eddy bedeu bedo. See mommy!"

New house

Mommy and daddy took grandma and grandpa to see the new house (or right now the hole in the ground). While mommy and daddy were signing some paperwork, grandma and grandpa were looking at the model homes together...

Peanut: "Are you going to get a new house too?"

Grandma: "No, we're going to keep our house"

Peanut: "But your house is getting old, you should get a new one"

her grace

Daddy has painted the bathroom and mommy had framed a painting she did and hung it in the same bathroom....

Peanut: "Daddy, I love your painting, it looks beautiful"

Daddy: "Thank you sweety"

Peanut: "And Mommy, I love your painting too, it looks beautiful too"

Mommy: "Thank you Peanut"

Peanut: "I love all the painting, it looks so graceful!"

our zoo

At dinner Peanut, Mommy and Daddy were being silly and making all kinds of crazy animal noises.....

Daddy: "Maybe when we move to our new house that's how we'll greet our neighbors"

Mommy: "Ya, we could put up a sign outside that says 'zoo' and they'll come in to see all the loud animals and just see us. What do you think they'll say?"

Peanut: "They'll say 'Ahhhh, look at all the crazy elephants and stuff'!"

always fresh, always Tim Hortons

After gymnastics Mommy and Adalia always go to the Tim Hortons drive through for a snack....

Mommy: "What do you want?"

Peanut: "I'll just get a sprinkle donut and a chocolate milk, you can just get a large double double"

new house rules

Mommy had told Peanut that the rule at the new house is that she has to clean up her toys every night before she goes to bed, something that gets overlooked many times at our current house. Mommy thought she made herself pretty clear but apparantly not...

Mommy: "Peanut, tell daddy what the rules are at the new house"

Peanut: "That you get to play your doggie game (her computer game that she loves), no spitting food out, and you can watch TV then you can play and you have to listen to the teacher"

sparkle maker

Peanut: "Mommy, I wish I could meet God"

Mommy: "well, He's everywhere so any time you want to you can talk to him"

Peanut: "Like when we pray?"

Mommy: "yup"

Peanut: "I'm going to pray...God, thank you for making sparkles, I really like them"

making room

Peanut and mommy were having breakfast when Peanut ripped a large toot....

Peanut: "all this tooting is making me more hungry"

Diego

Peanut was watching Diego, Dora the explorer's cousin - the animal rescuer...

Peanut: "Diego is always clapping, doesn't he ever get tired of clapping?"
