Grams blogs

September 7, 2009

Wow, it’s been a super-busy summer for my family. So busy in fact that — as you can tell — I haven’t found time to update my daddy blog recently. Breanna got to spend some time with her grandparents (3 weeks!!!) this summer, so I asked my mom to let me know if Bre did anything funny. I promised to post it as my first-ever guest post on this blog if she emailed me a story or two. I’m a man of my word, so here’s what she shared… Enjoy! 

We were reading Goodnight Moon and got to the part about the ”old lady who was whispering hush” and I asked Bre-Bre if she knew what hush meant. She replied in a very serious manner, It means Breanna…Go to sleep!

AND…

Now that Bre has learned all her letters, she likes to try to figure out what words they spell. She hasn’t quite gotten to the point where she can really read, but she uses her toddler logic to take a guess at what she’s reading. [I wrote about this previously in a post about a Hilton hotel we visited.] This time, she said…

P – A – M – P – E – R – S…  That spells, “diaper change!!!”

I’m so glad Bre got to spend some time with my parents recently. And the really exciting news is that she is now completely potty-trained, so diapers are a thing of the past! Any parents out there can appreciate how exciting this is!  

So all you parents out there, what kind of funny stories have YOUR parents shared about your kids’ visits to their house? I’d love to hear them. Simply post a comment to this post if you have time.
