At least if you're her parents. Tessa has come up with some ringers lately, stuff that has me laughing out loud at her daily. A few of my recent favorites:
1. The use of the word amazing. Said more like, "ahhhmazing!" In the car regularly, "Look at that mom! Ahhmazing!" While cleaning out the bottom of my closet, she kept jumping on my back, I finally turned around and very sternly said, "Tessa stop, that could hurt mom, and it could hurt you, please don't do that anymore." ten seconds later she jumps on my back again, I flip around, so irritated, and she's looking at me with wide eyes and open mouth and days, "Mom, you're not hurt! It's ahhmazing!"
2. I asked her the other day if she'd like to wear some tights because it was pretty chilly outside. She ran to her drawer, pulled some out and says, "Ok mom! How about these Lamantights?"
3. "Oh my gosh." Or when she's working on something or playing, "Oh gosh, I messed it up."
4. We went on a hike Sunday morning on a trail near our house, she wanted to walk up this slope to the side to get 'way up high'. Wade and I waited at the bottom watching her and as she walking down the rocks and brush we hear her mutter under her breath, "Holy smokes, this is a tricky one."
5. "I'm a loony bin mom." Yes you are T Jane.
6. Consistently replaces no, with "nah."
7. When Tessa has a tantrum and can't get it under control she is asked to go to her room and close the door until she can pull it together and is ready to come out and act nice. She always goes willingly, and always comes out when she's calmed down. Often times she'll walk out, come over to me, sniffle and say, "I'm ok mom."
8. Awhile back when she was potty training she was in the tub one night, I walked out for a minute to do something in her room and could hear her playing and splashing, when I walked back in there was a piece of poop on the floor. I looked at her and said, "Ummm, what is that, that is disgusting Tessa", to which she replies, "Hi mom, I pooped in the tub, but I got it out, ok?" Mmm hmm, well that was generous of you.
9. Every morning we wake to, "Oh mommmmy, where are you? Oh moommm. Dad. Dad. Where arrre you?" We laugh and play along and respond, "Who it that? Where is she?" To which she shouts back through the closed door, "It's me Tessa! I'm in here. I'm in the bedroom. I'm ready to get out!" Every morning. I will miss this silly ritual once the big girl bed arrives.
Keep 'em coming T. Jane

holy crap, she is funny. although, everything she says that you laugh at, you taught her, you know. I can hear you saying all those things. although lamantights might be her own.
She is just like you. Which is a good thing. The lamantights is a great one. I laugh right out loud when I read these things. So, where exactly are you putting a big girl bed? AND, are you ready for that? Fun times at the Hunt home!
Aaron and I are laughing out loud right now. DYING. Love this girl of yours. The holy smokes one and the poop have got to be the best things I have ever heard.
So cute. Thank heavens for laughter, some days that is what gets me through!
P.S. You are going to miss a lot more than her calling Mom in the morning once she is in a big girl bed. That was a rude awakening for me!
I've said it before and I"ll say it again, I haven't actually met this little girl in real life but holy smokes I love her already! She is so stinkin cute and funny! loved the stories! Hope you are feeling well!!
that is cute. Man I hope my kids have that wit and aren't just annoying. I am afraid they will be the later-ask your dad, he would agree with that as he would say "look at her mom"
Darling. Brin's morning sentence to us is, "Mom, the sun is up, so it's time to get up!" Everyday. I love your little hide and seek conversation. Precious.
