Everyday Hannah

I've been writing down some of the things Hannah does and says. This will give you a taste of what everyday with Hannah is like.

• She calls granola bars yummy bars
• Sunglasses “help her see” and when she takes them off she says she has her contacts in
• One day she was pretending to call someone. I asked who she was calling; she said “Buddy.” I thought she may be talking about Bryson because we call him Buddy sometimes. I asked, “Who is Buddy?” Hannah answered, matter-of-factly, “Somebody.”
• In car she was talking in a high soft voice telling her doll all about the things she saw as we passed. (What a cute little mother.)
• When Bryson was first born Hannah said Bryson had milk on his face. It was the little white baby acne.
• I took about a week or so for Hannah to realize what was happening when I fed Bryson. She said, “He’s eating your chest!”
• In the car, I asked Hannah who she was sitting by, she said something to this effect, “Bryson. He my friend.”
• I told Hannah Grandma and Grandpa Baird were coming over. She said Grandpa Baird was “nice like Cosmo” (BYU’s mascot).
• Hannah will often sing out during Sacrament meeting hymns (often during the introduction). One Sunday she was singing, “WXY and Z now I know my ABCs next time won’t you sing with me!”
• “Probably” is a word Hannah often answers with.
• We call her Hannah Banana, so she’ll sometimes call me “Mommy Banana.”
• She’s referred to our Bishop, Bishop Robins, as Bishop Robin Hood a few times.
• I told her it was nap time and that I was ready for a nap, she replied, “No is Hannah ready for nap. I wanna play 2 hours.”
• “I mommy’s friend.”
• Merry Christmas = “Welly Cismas”
• Hannah was running so fast down the hall into the kitchen. She tripped herself and banged her head hard on the kitchen tile. She cried very hard for about 1 minute while I held her then said, “I okay now. I cry like Bryson. I have tears.” A minute later she hopped down from my lap and said she needed to go wipe her “long tears.”
• When she wears her pjs with feet in them she always says, “My feet hiding!”
• I gave her a glass of milk. “Two Hands. No wanna spill.” (Obviously we’ve told her that a number of times.)
• “I funny.”
• Earlier in the day Nic had called Hannah a pickle head. That evening when asked what her name was she said “Hannah.” Nic said, “Hannah what?” “Hannah Pickle Head!”
• She can reach the light switches when she stands on her tippy toes just enough to turn them on, but not off. (We have a lot of lights on at our house.)
• She is always going to the “palace” for the “grand ball” in her “coach.” (And of course she always wants me to go too.)
• The first time she got to wear her Christmas dress she said, “I’m Sleeping Beauty!” The next day she asked, “Can I be Sleeping Beauty again?”
• The next Sunday she wore her Christmas dress, we took it off for her to eat lunch. She said, “I no princess now.” Nic said she always looked like a princess and she said, “No, I prince now.” (Even without her pretty dress she was still royalty!)
• After nursery I asked Hannah who was in her class. She names several people, then says, “Cinderella!” I say, “Cinderella was in your class?!” She smiles and says, “Cinderella right here!” as she pats her chest.
• I was nursing Bryson in my bed when Hannah woke up. I hollered to her to come in my room. She climbed up in my bed and I turned on a cartoon for her. Bryson tooted. Hannah looked at me and said, “Excuse you, Mommy!” I told her it was Bryson. Looking back at me she said, “Excuse you, Mommy.” Kind of laughing I told her it really was Bryson. She said, very seriously, “Mommy.”
• Nic came home from work and I told him Hannah had a runny nose. Hannah piped in, “I sick. I need a blessing.”
