Apple Pine

A couple weeks ago we're standing in the kitchen and Ashley asked if she could eat and apple pie.
 "We don't have any apple pie," thinking that it sounded good to me too.
 "Yes we do apple pine right there!" pointing to the pineapple.
"You mean pineapple, sure you can have some."
"Thank you for my apple pine."

I came home from the grocery store yesterday morning. As I was putting away the food Ashley got really excited and started jumping and shouting, "Oh thank you mom! oh thank you for getting an apple pine" I know by now that apple pine is pineapple and I find it super cute but I'm a mom that believes in correcting their children so other people know what they are talking about. Rachel has obviously picked up on this and corrected her, "It's pineapple, Ashley." "Yeah, apple pine, I said it right."

Oh well... ham was pink meat in my house growing up for as long as I can remember. I guess pineapple can be apple pine.

Then this morning she was showing me what was in her purse: a phone and paper tissue.  Yep it was tissue paper!

naptime

An hour into naptime Ashley calls for yelling, "I need to wash my hands!" I went into her room and looked at her hands and didn't see anything. Then I noticed the open container of Aquaphor.  Then I noticed how much was gone with small finger ditches in it. I started looking around to figure out where it all went.  After not seeing anything I dared to ask. "Ashley what were you doing?" "Painting" "Painting where?" I relplied trying to keep from freaking out when really I'm thinking Painting! Oh this is going to fun cleaning. Ashley points to the side of her dresser.  After cleaning it up I dared ask, "anywhere else?" "Over here (pointing to the front of the dresser, and here (the only other available side), and on Troy (her bear), and here (the Lazy boy!)

Well it could have been worse, it could have been actual fingerpaint. At least aquaphor is clear unscented petroleum jelly based lotion and after examining the damage it was too bad.  Troy just has his nose and eyes done- the non-hairy part so that was easily wipeable. The dresser is now shiny clean, and as for the chair I couldn't find anything!

Letter Review

Since we've been doing letters everyday for weeks now I'm having to get creative on different activities besides memory and go fish. For our review I put our letter magnets in a bowl of water and had Ashley pull out a letter from the water and run it to the matching letter from our letter mat.Rachel wanted a turn and after Rachel, Ashley went again.

Letter L

L is for llama

Letter K

A letter K activity we did was kick the tower with the letter K. This turned into kick over the k's and then kick them all. Even Rachel had to take a turn or two.

Our Comedian

Ashley is full of personality and lately we've noticed how she will intentionally do something in hopes of making us laugh. Unfortunately I haven't been that great about keeping up with recording them but here's one that happened this afternoon while at a friends house.

She was outside and came to the open sliding door to tell me she was poopy. (yes potty training is coming soon) I told her okay come in so I can change her. I look back to see why she's not coming in while I dug around for a diaper in my purse. She sees me looking and pushes her face and body against the glass of the door and says, "I can't get in!"
