Quotes and bits from today

Esme: 'bye bye poop - have a good day! FLUSH.'

me: 'it's an octopus, it can sing if it wants to. It's a trick for an octopus to sing, enjoy it!' (Daddy made balloon animals and one of them was an octopus)

Esme: 'Miss Piggy YOU THE ONE!' (singing along with Lou Rawls on the Muppet Show)

There was lots about the headphones when I put them on her later - she was talking to Beethoven's Ninth thinking it was someone on the phone - where they start singing Hallelujah etc... and telling them about the color of her shirt etc and wondering why they didn't talk back. Then when the next just music came on she kept telling me it was pretty and taking it off and putting it back on her ears etc..

Esme: 'it's a coseeheedon (icosohedron), PRETTY' Mark: what? what was that? Me: It was labeled on Makezine, so I read it to her!' We were looking at hexagons and pentagons last night in a craft pattern and she really liked that - so when I saw the 'platonic solids done in beads' on Makezine I made sure to show her those, too.

Esme: 'oooooo it's play a TOY!' (seeing me looking through playmobil stuff on Ebay)

Esme: 'bear you go to TOWN, purple boots, you are ready, you go truck go TOWN. (seconds later) BEAR YOU HOME! Off shoe. No No No. on boot *cry frustrate / bring to mom* On brown shoe BEAR! on BOOT, purple boot. etc etc..' <-- we take off our shoes when we get home, and then she was mad because she wanted them back on the bear. Her shoes are 'brown shoe', the bear's shoes are purple boots I made.

Daddy telling her we will go to the fair and see colored lights and ride a ferris wheel. She was really happy about that - and then we looked at the weather forecast and thought we would go tomorrow. Then she was very unhappy about it. I told her we could go for a walk instead and we ended up at Grandma's again.

NOTES Ninja cat and Iggy dog were spayed today. It worked out pretty well and they are resting nicely. We had to think back some - Ninja was probably born around July of 2009, Iggy was probably born in May of 2009 (we got her in June). Looking at all the old pictures on the blog trying to figure this out (ninja was hard as her birth was not on the blog but a previous litter was... ) caught photos of Esme with a pacifier in her mouth just over a year ago. She has grown so much since then it is hard to believe.
