More of the Things She Says III

I've done a couple posts in the past about Bella's talking, but now I can't even keep up with the things she says and ideas she comes up with. Here's a brief list of some of my favorites:

"Did you buy it at Target or WalMart?" - I'm asked this whenever I show Bella one of my new purchases. Yes, I'm a frequent WalMart shopper, isn't everyone in CO?

"It's a Roxy shirt" - Said when she got dressed and saw the Roxy logo on her shirt and when she saw the logo on a shirt at the store. She's DEFINITELY my daughter!

"He's sick like grandpa. He'll go to the hospital, then he'll go to heaven" - Said when she saw a man in a wheelchair who appeared very ill.


"What are we doing today?" and "Where are we going today?" and "Will we see our friends today?" - Bella LOVES action and plans and getting out of the house (on most days).

"Can we go to a store today? Kohl's maybe?" - Again, she's my girl! She loves to shop!

"I can put it on my Birthday (or Christmas) list." - Said when we're at a store and she sees something she likes. She rarely ever asks me to buy something at that very moment, just asks for it to be a possible future gift.

"Is it on sale today?" - Said as she is looking at an item she really likes. She looks for a price tag. For some reason she thinks if there's a price tag on it, then it's on sale. Yes, I know, she's learned to be a bargain shopper like me:)

"Good Morning, It's a bright sunny day!!!" - Said in her most cheerful voice EVERY morning when she wakes up and comes to greet us in our room. Of course it helps me wake up with a smile on my face even when it's the crack of dawn:)

"It's OK baby, mommy's here. Oh baby, it's alright." - Said to her baby doll when she's playing dolls. There's so many cute little things she says and does with her baby, she's like a mini-mommy!

"2 ones?" - Our little negotiator, Bella, will sometimes ask for 2 when I've said, " you can have one _________." (insert: treat, snack, book, show, toy for the car, etc.)

"______ is my favorite in the whole world." Insert type of cereal, snack, fruit, book, movie, game, person, etc. - This one cracks me up because she'll say this with such meaning and cheerfulness even if it is about something that seems so simple to us.

"What's this word?" - Isabella not only loves to read books, she really wants to know the words and what they mean if it's a word she's not familiar with. I can tell her the title of a book one time, usually a library book, and she will not forget the title. The same thing goes for characters in the book. It's amazing!

"Read this part" or "You skipped some words, Mom" or "Read the part about the tooth" - If it's getting late I try to get through the bedtime reading a little quicker by skipping a sentence here and there, especially now that most of Bella's books have a lot more words and pages, but Bella notices. Even if it's a book that she's heard all the way through only one time before, like her library books....Crazy! I'm telling you, this girl notices EVERYTHING!
