More Riley Sayings

Since I've been a very bad poster lately - even though I think MORNING sickness that lasts all day every day is a very good excuse - I feel like I've been missing a lot, there are so many cute things that Riley has done and said........and I've been a slacker and haven't told you about them so someday when Riley is 30 and reading back about her life she'll think man, what was up with my Mom from Dec 08 thru Mar 09, didn't I do anything cute.......sigh.

So here are some fun things Riley has said lately that I just can't miss posting

*Mom, can I have some of that hanzitizer spray
(hand sanitizer spray)

*Mom, when I turn 4 I can drive myself, you won't have to bring me to Vickie's anymore
(this was when we were pulling in to her babysitter's driveway just yesterday, and I realized that I would blink and this would be true for real not true in her mind that she could drive herself at 4, and yes she often times says mom now instead of mommy which makes me sad too)

*Baby, oh baby, baby ba-aa-a-by, your mommy and your sissy are gonna love you always
(this is a song daddy made up for Riley when she was a baby and she's modified it and sings it to my tummy daily, so sweet! The original was Riley oh Riley Riley Jean Graves, your mommy and your daddy are gonna love you always - or grandma and papa or whoever fit for that verse really)

*Oh mom, your tummy is growing and growing everyday

*Mommy, I gotta go potty.......I can do it all by myself, I don't need your help (sniffle)

*Mommy, someone needs to come for a visit, I need a visit tonight

*Mommy, I sure do miss Andy, can we go to his apartment (that's my sis's boyfriend)

*Will Aunt Sarah be home soon?

Life Lessons with Riley

"I'm going to have one boy and one girl." Matter-of-fact, Riley knew exactly what she wanted for her future family. (this came after she realized not all homes - including our own - has boy and girl siblings.....she's an only child at this point you see)

Since we were already on the subject, I asked her what she was going to name her boy (she's very creative) and she said Curvis (kur-vis) - I told you she was creative! And her girl - well she "hadn't decided quite yet" but she thought maybe she would pick Charla (char-luh) and Mega (mee-gah). I guess she changed her mind at that point and wanted three kids, but I'm not sure.

Just a glimpse into life with Riley - she's soooooo creative, uses her imagination like a pro, and truly seems older than she is. Man I love this girl!
