quips & quotes
Jane says so many hilarious things,
and I forget them so quickly, so I'm going to start writing them down
for my records and your enjoyment. Be forewarned - there's going
to be a lot of potty talk!

Ian asked Jane why she carried her blanket around with her all day
long..."My Winnie the Pooh blanket doesn't have legs!"

Katie woke up from a nap and her cheeks were all rosy. After
looking at her for a minute, Jane said, "Mama, look. Her cheeks
are pale pink like the first clouds of morning."

Ian told Jane that they were going to the beach for the afternoon, and
as she ran to the door to get going, she exclaimed, "There's so much
water at the beach that you just can't believe it!"

We were headed home after a long day out and Jane had reached the end of
her rope. I asked Ian what he would like for dinner, and he told
me that he didn't care. Jane's emotion-filled little voice
bellowed from the back seat, "Dada, you DO care!"

Ian and Jane went for a walk and saw a couple of guys. Jane was
staring at them and said "Those are mans." Then after thinking for
a minute, she looked at Ian and said, "You're a different man.
You're our man."

I came out of my room this morning, and much to my surprise, Katie had
huge gobs of lotion all over her head. Jane must have seen the
annoyed look on my face because she quickly comforted me by telling me,
"Don't worry Mama. Sometime lotion just happens to Katie Bean.
It's OK."

My friend, Zorana, graduated from SFU and there were bagpipers as part
of the procession. Jane was observing them very carefully and
after a few minutes, told me, "Those guys are wearing dresses.
Actually, it's not dresses...it's man skirts."

Katie was already asleep for the night. Shortly after Jane went to
bed, we heard Katie giggling, so Ian and I went in to investigate.
As we opened the door, Jane was diving back onto her bed, and Katie was
sitting up in her crib watching. Ian took Katie out to the living
room and I stayed to have a talk with Jane. I told her that I felt
a little bit angry that she had woken up Katie Bean. She looked at
me very sincerely and said, "Yeah, this is not for laughing. This
is really serious."

Jane had been sick for the last few days (puking and diarrhea) and had
had a couple of accidents (she calls them wet farts), not being able to
get to the potty on time. Yesterday she was feeling a lot better
so I put her back into panties. We were playing in her room and I
heard her fart. I must have had a concerned look on my face
because she looked at me and said, "Don't worry mama, it's a clean
fart!".

My mom was having dinner with us and Jane was blabbering away to her.
My mom was remarking how well she can talk now. Jane looked at her
and said, "Yeah [obviously]. I have lips."

To encourage Jane in her potty training, we started letting her
watch a movie as a reward for going poo in the potty, as movies are the
highlight of her little life. While in Saskatoon visiting my
grandparents, my grandpa took us to the dairy farm where he works.
When the cows had finished being milked, they would step off the
carousel and relieve themselves. She was fascinated by this.
She watched intently for a long time, taking it all in. Suddenly,
after a cow completed it's business, she exclaimed, "Good girl cow!
Do you want to pick a movie?" |
