Mena-isms galore!

So lately Mena has been cracking me up.  The things that come out of her mouth are so funny and I just wish I could capture everything on tape.  Never happens though!  Here are a few things she has said lately...

1.  We were doing our intentions before the rosary the other day and I prayed for Mena to be holy and a Saint.  She turned to her daddy and said, "Mom's always wanting me to do that!" 

2.  We were driving on the interstate and Mena was asking me some questions about the sun.  After I gave her a few answers she said, "Mom, you know everything!"

3.  I know I have more...just have to remember them...will post more later.

Mena-ism: brother or sister???

Dom asked Mena if she wanted a baby brother or sister.
Mena:  I want a brother.
Dad:  Oh, someone to play cars and trucks, planes, and trains with.
Mena:  I want a sister!
Too funny!  She usually answers sister whenever we ask her.  I have my 12 week ultrasound (although I am 13 weeks on Saturday) scheduled for tomorrow morning and can't wait for Mena to be able to see the little one moving around on the screen.  We get to bring in a video to record the ultrasound and I would like to record with my camera Mena's reaction!  Very fun!  Still too early to know the gender, I can't wait for that day!!!

Mena-ism: Burp

Mena just burped.  I said, "Are you okay, Mena?"  She replies, "Yeah, it's just a beep!" 

Mena-ism: Babcia's Birthday card

Mena drew a card for her Babcia's (Dominic's mom's) birthday yesterday. She colored on the front and then I asked her what she wanted to say to Babcia.
She said, "Thank you for living. I love you, okay."
Isn't that hillarious! I wrote exactly that on the card and needless to say, Babcia loved it!

Mena-ism: Bridal Shower

We were getting ready to attend Cia Cia Grace's Bridal shower yesterday and Mena says to me, "I hope they'll be potty's there!" and "I hope they'll be snacks there!" You can tell what is on this child's mind. She is doing fantastic with potty training lately. She has stayed dry for 5 days in a row and two days of dry naps AND dry during the night. I never thought this day would come!!! Hooray!

Mena-ism: Conference Call

So last night Dom and I were introducing ourselves for our conference call for Lighthouse. I said, " Dominic and Amanda from Michigan." Mena yells, "and Mena too!" It was pretty funny.

Mena-ism: The Bomb!

So the other day we are driving and Dom says something to the effect of "I'm the bomb!" Mena pipes up from the back seat and says, "No! Daddy not the bomb. Mommy's the bomb!" It was hillarious! And YES, we are bringing the bomb back. Whenever you hear it, thank us for bringing it back!

Mena-ism: Bad Breath

This morning hubby was giving me a hug and Mena wanted a hug too. She climbed on top of me and hugged me so tight. I said, "Mena, I have bad breath. I need to brush my teeth." She responds, "It's just me mommy!" As in, I don't care if your breath stinks I love you and I want a hug, don't worry! It was so sweet.

Mena-ism:How old are you?

Conversation had around the table tonight.
Mom: How old are you Mena?
Mena: I'm 20!
Mom: You're 20! No you're 2.
Mena: I'm not 2 anymore. I'm 20. It's been a long day!

HAHAHAHA!

Mena-ism: Restaurant talk

We were at Leons Family restaurant yesterday for dinner. Mena had just recieved her plate of Grilled Chese Sandwich and French fries and it was really hot. I looked at the sandwich and said, "Mena, it might be hot" (she grabs a fry and says oh so confidently), "It might be yummy!" and taking a bite smiles and says, "it is!" What a riot!

Mena-ism: Move over!

In the middle of last night Mena came in to our bed and laid down. She was tossing and turning and then loudly said, "This is not comfy!" I was laying there thinking, it's not comfy for me either! Ha. Ha. Ha!

Mena-isms

We were at church and Mena kept playing at the end of the pew. I whispered for her to come back (repeatedly) she says to me in an audible voice..."Mommy, why you talk to me so much!!!"

Daddy can frequently be heard saying "so what's the deal?" in regards to whats going on. Mena turns to dad out of the blue the other day and says, "Dad, what's your deal?" Hillarious!

That's all for now.
