Hanna's Home

Smarty Pants

Today Hanna and I had a conversation about listening to each other and helping each other out. When that didn't work, I had another conversation about taking away her Barbie, which then prompted this response from Miss Smarty Pants:

"If you take my Barbie away cuz I'm not listening, what are you going to do with it? Give it away--maybe to Danika? Or throw it in the garbage??"

"Mom, I'm asking you a question. What are you going to do with it?"

(slight pause followed by a resounding nod...)

"I know Mom! I think you should sell it. Then we could buy a new TV so dad doesn't need to keep hitting this one."

NOTE ABOUT OUR TV: It's temperamental and on its way to TV Heaven very soon. But if you hit it on its side, it sees another day of light! Hanna is learning these very important tricks!

Serious Business

If there's one thing that is taken very seriously in our house it's cutting Hanna's nails. And to this day -- in over 4 years of nail trimming -- I think I've done it once or twice. Guess who's the master?

Occassionally, there's a yelp or scream that the nail was cut too short. But usually, Hanna's soaking up the royal treatment.

 

Wouldn't you?
 

Party Ghost

Today Hanna went to her friend's birthday party. Hanna LOVES parties. This time was no exception. "We got to make hats mama, and I got my face painted like a ghost and we had cake and fruit... BOO! Did I scare you mama??"

Actually, she did.

After our best attempts of cleaning her face, Hanna still looks like she's wearing eyeliner to bed. I promise you she doesn't mind one bit!

P.S. Isn't that a cool hat?
