My Pretty Anna

Some recent pics of Anna

Playing Hopskotch...which really consists of running/jumping over the sidewalk drawing whilst saying "hopskotch" over and over.

Grandpa's a Sheepdog

Anna continues to make us laugh with the funny things she says. The other week we went to my sister Alison's house for a barbeque at her new house. They have a new puppy named Gunner who's pedigree is unknown. My dad was commenting that Gunner looked like he had some border collie in him and said, "maybe his Grandpa was a sheepdog." Anna picked up on that immediatly and said, "Grandpa's a sheepdog!" "Grandpa, are you a sheepdog?" Oh, I thought my dad was going to fall out of his chair laughing.

It's no secret that my husband is British and is constantly using British words around the house. Anna of course has picked up on some of them like "boot" instead of trunk and "dummy" for pacifier. Well, apparently she's picked up on another phrase. Tonight she told her dad to "bugger off." We were too surprised to tell her that that was a naughty phrase.

Anna's funny things

So we're sitting in the car the other night ready to go in the house and a big sigh came from the little one in the backseat. I turned around and she looked at me and said, "Mom, I'm tired of my life." I have no idea where she got that from, but it was soooo funny.

And then the other night at the grocery store I dropped some change on accident. I asked Anna to help me pick it up and put it back in my change purse. She helped me pick it up, but she started putting it into her pockets. She said, "You dropped it mom. It's mine now." I think she got it from me saying, "if you don't share, it's mine. Or, if you spill it's mine." The cashier about lost it.
