Talker/Artist

Painting for the first time

She is doing so good, I have to try finger paint.

Brooke is talking so much now that I can't even keep up with her. Our conversation this morning.
Me: Brooke eat you cereal. (I put her at the table to eat)
A few minutes pass

Brooke: I have to peeeeeeeee. (This is said very excited, like I have to go now)

Me: Brooke why don't you tell me this before you sit down. (Brooke does this all the time. If we go eat somewhere or we sit down for breakfast, lunch, or supper, )

Me: Brooke I don't understand why you don't tell me before you sit down to eat. This gets so old.

Brooke: Old, Whats Old?

Me: You having to go potty every time we sit down to eat.

Brooke thinks about it for a minute.
Brooke: Uh mom, One more thing. Uhhhmmm will you do me a favor?"

Me: Sure Brooke whats the favor?

Brooke: my purse.

Me:Your purse, whats the favor?

I put her back in her seat to finish eating. There is a magazine laying on the table. Brooke is just mumbling around. Uhmmmm
I think she forgot the favor because she looks down at the magazine and says " I want all these things for my Christmas Tree"

The magazine was a Oriental Trading book and it had a Christmas Tree with crafts all on it. I think she wants to do the crafts. Brooke has really got into doing crafts. I let her paint the other day and she sit there forever and painted. She did a really good job. I think she is going to be my little artist.
After about 10 minutes I think she remembered her favor. She has a cookie game and she had left it in the car.

Brooke : Mom will you get my cookies out of the car?

Courtney was a a sweet sister and she went and got them.
Brooke truly amazes me with some of the things she says. She is so grown sometimes. It reminds me of a song I heard yesterday. "Don't blink or your baby will be grown."
