Broccoli

Harleyann asks me while I am fixing dinner what we are having so I tell her pot roast, potatoes, gravy and a veggie. So she asks me what veggie we are having so I tell her broccoli.

H: "I don't want broccoli."
M: "But you love broccoli."
H: "But I can't eat it."
M: "And why can't you eat it?"
H: "Because my brain said not to eat it."
M: "And why did your brain say not to eat it?"
H: "Because my brain is allergic to broccoli."


"Really mom I am serious, my brain is allergic to broccoli."

Silly Harleyann

My sister in law has 2 beautiful daughters, Macy (3) and Claire (1). Claire just turned 1 on Sat and Harleyann went down with her Nana and Pop-pop to help Claire celebrate. I am not sure the story around it but at some point while there she looks at Aunt Christy and says in regards to Macy, the 3 year old, "Is she new?"
Crazy kid.
This is a flashback to when Harleyann decided she was going to eat real food vs. baby food.
A little background info for those that do not know, Harleyann was born when I was 24 weeks pregnant. So she was really delayed and while some felt that I started her on baby food to soon since at 6 months she was like a newborn and if you go by that measure than she was only like 2 months old when she started baby food but actually she was 8 months. So on to the story.

At the time Harleyann was 10 months old (only like a 4 month old) and we had went to lunch a Ruby Tuesdays. She was in her carrier next to the table. We were eating burgers and fries and apparently she wanted a fry and took one off of Jeff's plate and started eating it, Jeff and I looked at each other and I said she wasn't suppose to have that yet so I took it from her and she got mad, real mad. So I figured if she is gonna take it then what harm can it do it is just a fry and she had been eating baby food. So I gave her a fry and she threw it across the restaurant. The girl has an arm. I was stunned and then started laughing that she threw the french fry. She did take several more fries off of mine and Jeff's plates and ate them like a champ and never looked back. The girl loves food and I believe that is when her love of food began.

Harleyann and cheeseballs

We had went to Sam's club to get a few things a couple weeks ago and Harleyann wanted some cheeseballs and a big thing of them was like $6.00 so we got her some and she had forgot about them I guess because she never asked for any of them. So she got home from school today, hungry as always. So I fix her some cheeseballs and she got excited about them.

So daddy is trying to get her to do homework and he is making her do so many problems before she can have a cheeseball. So she gets to one that she has to write a 5. She is not good at writing 5's so she tells her daddy that she forgot how he taught her to write 5's and she needs his help. Well a second passes and he is getting ready to help her when she says........................

.....................................................

"Daddy, i'll let you have a cheeseball if you help me write this 5!"

My daughter is to funny, daddy taught her well.

JJ and the applesauce

Well half the applesauce ended up on me because JJ got all excited and hit the cup and it ended up on mommy and the couch. After a quick cleanup, I decided to sit in the floor and JJ on the couch, well JJ decided I was not giving it to him fast enough and he ended up face first into the applesauce, dang where is a camara when you need one.

JJ vs. The Napa Tools & Equipment Truck

JJ & Harleyann

Harleyann has a bad habit of ignoring JJ. JJ absolutly adores her and smiles at her and babbles to her and she just ignores him. So he has started to now resort to being mean. So this evening he was trying to get her attention, he would put his face right in front of hers and she would turn her head or just be like "JJ, leave me alone." So he started pulling her hair. We tell JJ that Harleyann is Sissy since we know it will be a while before he can say Harley much less Harleyann, so we figured Sissy will be good to call her. So tonight he decided that she is "NeNe." So it went something like this, JJ leaning in front of Harleyann's face, she turned away, oh hair....so he pulled and would say "NeNe", she would move, he would move, pull hair while saying "NeNe". So then when he was trying to get her attention he would say "NeNe." So now Harleyann will be known as NeNe.

Another thing that happened this evening, after ignoring JJ, she decided she wanted to tickle his belly and he smacked her arm. He just lifted the one hand and smacked her. Then she would tickle him and he would pinch her. Guess she deserved it for ignoring him when he wanted to play with her. But she didn't feel that way.

Gotta love children and having a 7 year old and a 10 month old (will be 11 months on the 24th, wow time flys when you have kiddos)
