The Lists

We took Gabby and Madison to visit Santa last week.

Gabby gave Maddy the reindeer antlers a couple of weeks ago. They entertained each other while we waited in line.

I love how big Gabby smiled in this picture. What happened to my baby though? When did she get so grown up?

I had to laugh a the difference in the length of the girls' lists for Santa

Gabby Says The Darndest Things

Gabby said, "Mom I can't believe I'm 6. Next birthday I'll be 7 and then I'll be 8 and then I'll be baptized! Mom, who's gonna baptize me? Who baptized you?" I said, "My dad baptized me so maybe yours will baptize you." Gabby said, "I think I'd like Jesus to baptize me." I said, "Maybe you should have a second choice." She said, "If Jesus can't, then how about Uncle Gabe!"
***********************************************************
Gabby said to the girl she was sitting next to at church, "Hey, do you want to feel my mom's hair? It's so soft and silky. You should really touch it." The little girl declined with a perplexed look.

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Get away from me, Mommy!" I said, "That's not a nice thing to say." Gabby said, "Get away from me please!"

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby, you sure are a beautiful girl." Gabby said, "Well, I know I'm beautiful but sometimes I like to pretend that I'm not so beautiful."

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Mommy, I'm the real Gabby. There's another Gabby at school now, but I'm the real one. I am the real Gabby, I am the real Gabby!"

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Mommy, you're the prettiest girl there ever was!" I said, "Oh, thank you Gabby that is so sweet! What makes Mommy pretty?" Gabby replied, "Well, you have eyelashes and only pretty girls have eyelashes. Boys don't have eyelashes so they're only handsome."

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby, why don't you sleep with your new Baby Lion tonight. He's so soft." Gabby said, "No, Mommy. I don't like to sleep with animals. I only like to sleep with humans. You're a human, Mom. Will you lay down with me?"

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby, why are still awake at 11:30?" She replied, "Well, I'm not really very good at sleeping. I'm only good at waking. I'm just a really good waker, Mom." -- Truer words have never been spoken!

*********************************************************

I said,"Gabby, thank you for being such a good girl." Gabby replied, "Your welcome. Thank you for being such a good mommy."

*********************************************************

Gabby praying, "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that my mommy loves me. Thank you that she's my best friend. Thank you that she's not mad at me. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." (Yes, that did bring tears to my eyes and made me all the more grateful to be her mommy!)

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "When I grow up I'm gonna be a big mommy and work on the computer at the office like you. You'll grow smaller and then you'll get to play games then and be my baby, Mommy."

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Mommy, are we gonna check the mail today?" I said, "No, the mail doesn't come on Sundays." Gabby said, "Oh, the mail the only comes on snowy days?"

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby, it's almost Li'l Dave's birthday, he's turning 3." Gabby replied, "Wow, Li'l Dabe is 3? He's all growed up, huh? He's a big daddy now!"

*********************************************************

I asked, "Gabby, why do you like my hair so much?" Gabby replied, "Because your hair is so sweet, special, and beautiful and I just love it!" She then rubbed my hair to her face to emphasize the point.

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Mommy, I'm so glad I'm your Gabby!" Me, "I'm so glad I'm your Mommy!"

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "I had fun at school today." I said, "I had fun at work." Gabby, "No, Mommy, you didn't. You don't have toys at work and you're not a little girl so you didn't have fun! You have to play to have fun!"

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby you need to tell Heavenly Father 3 things you're thankful for, it makes Him so happy when you talk to Him." Gabby replied, "No Mommy, Heavenly Father likes it when I talk small."

*********************************************************

Gabby said, "Look Mommy, I'm a ladybug!" Gabby had meticulously covered her arms and legs with red and black spots.

*******************************************************

We received a package in the mail from Grandma Kay for our birthdays. I said, "Gabby, what do you think it is?" Gabby replied, "It's a box Mommy."

*********************************************************

I said, "Gabby we're gonna pick Marji up from the airport tomorrow." Gabby replied, "Mommy, you can't pick up Marji, she's too heavy and you're too small." (Marji, she would say this about any adult!)
