Hannahisms

The first trimester of this pregnancy, we ruined Hannah's bedtime habits because I laid down with her every night. Usually, at some point in the night, Dave would come in and move her to her room. I did not want to lay down with Hannah last night, so I told her I had to do some laundry and that I'd be right down the hall. Within minutes, she was crying. I went in and quoted one of her favorite books "Llama llama what a tizzy. Sometimes momma's very busy. Please stop all this llama drama and [go to sleep for your momma]." (The actual story says "and be patient with your momma.") I barely got the words out before Hannah was saying, "That's not how it goes." I thought I was busted for changing the words, but NO. She quoted back to me another part of the story -- which was very appropriate to how she was feeling. "Llama llama red pajama feels alone without his momma." She had me there, so I gave in and laid down with her. I'm such a sucker! Some of Hannah's latest thoughts and statements that make me laugh, smile, and sometimes scratch my head:

• "Marty said 'Ummm, excuse me. You're biting my butt." We haven't watched Madagascar in weeks, and she's never quoted that line before. Plus, she calls it a "booty" not a "butt."
• "Mommy, I want to watch the freakin' Backyardigans." (I had ignored her the first several times she told me she wanted to watch "The Backyardigans" because she didn't need to watch TV right then. I couldn't ignore that request -- but I sure didn't give in with the word freakin' thrown in there. I was impressed that she used it correctly, though.) The funniest part of her statement is that she had most recently heard the word from her Mimi not me or Dave because Mimi had been looking for her "freakin' phone" a couple of days before.
• If I'm going to throw Mimi under the bus here, then I should probably mention that she also said "Damn Damnit" thinking she was quoting Pawpaw saying GD. She was frustrated because she kept dropping the phone because she was so tired. Hannah tried to put Pawpaw in time out for that one.
