Remembering Jessica

Cute #StuffMyGirlSays keeps coming this week!

Picture is one of my all-time time favorites. There was a time when we had to go to Happy Hollow Park & Zoo at least weekly so she could see her friends the goats. We would feed them and she would scold the bully goats, “hey, no pushing,” making sure all got a turn. It was so darling to watch her commitment to being fair. lol sometimes some were clearly full or otherwise not interested but she would always offer them a chance. 

Age 10

Me, "Time for bed."

#StuffMyGirlSays, "No please, I am interested in this (TV show)- what's it about?"

#StallingMuch?

Age 8

A woman in a parking lot pulls over to tell me, "Your daughter is SO CUTE!"

She drives away, I say to Jess, "That was nice. How do you feel about that?"

She, "I don't like it."

Me, "You don't like people thinking you are cute?"

#StuffMyGirlSays, "No. I like that. I just don't like it when you carry on about it."

Age 8

Today Jess asked me what a "Son-in-law" was. I explained, she then said,

"It should be a Son-in-love or Daughter-in-love because that's what really would be!"

Age 8

"I wish I was still seven. Seven is better than eight, everybody says so."

Age 7

Me, "What is this box (on your night stand)?

#StuffMyGirlSays "My oil pastels, in case I have a drawing emergency."

Age 7

#StuffMyGirlSays after I cleared out about 70% of her stuff in her room.

"I Love It!!" 

I followed up with "Do you think you will miss anything?" (Our deal was if she can keep this much clean for a month I would let her ask for things back.) She replied, "I can't even remember what was in here."

Age 6

"I'm a baby that's crazy. I'm a baby that's crazy."

#StuffMyGirlSINGS #MoreTruthThanFiction

new verse "I'm a baby that's loud!" lol

Age 4

Just a minute, I want to fix my hair. "So you'll look like a real person?!" 

I laugh, and then she says, "Are you going to blog that?"

Age 3

"Don't interrupt me, I am coloring!"

Age 3

"You should give me what I want when I want it." (poor girl, already set up for things not going her way!)

Age 3

"What has feathers, feet and a beak?"  What Jessie?  "A bird! Laugh mommy, that was a joke!"  

(Guess we have some work to do before we launch that stand up career!)

Age 3

"Mommy go in the hall." Why Jessie? "I don't want you to see what I am doing."
