conversations with Rooney / 10
This post is sponsored by Uncommon Goods.
Rooney keeps us laughing over here! Here are a few things she's said recently that I just had to write down...
"Mommy, can you kiss it? Because your lips are really nice."
"Only mommies or daddies can have babies in their tummies. I can't because I'm not really bigger. But Jude is bigger! He's like a mommy and a daddy." (Jude is 5.)
"High five, Mommy! You found a new park!"
"Mommy, sometimes I don't see you and I miss you because I love you."
"Sometimes kids don't eat food all."
Rooney: "My gum's all gone."
Me: "Oh no, did you swallow it? We need to spit it out when we're done."
Rooney: "Ohhh. I gotcha."
Me: "What do you want to pray for tonight?"
Rooney: "God! And friends. And marshmallows!"
Me: "Will you go to the grocery store with me?"
Rooney, on her iPad: "Nope. We don't have time to go to the store."
Rooney: "Daddies don't cry!"
Me: "Yes they do."
Rooney: "When?"
Me: "When they get owies or when they're sad. Do mommies cry?"
Rooney: "Yeah."
Me: "When?"
Rooney: "When the baby comes!"
Rooney: "Can we go to the Science Center?"
Me: "Yeah...someday."
Rooney: "It is some day!"
Me: (grunt)
Rooney: "What?"
Me: "Oh, I'm tired and my tummy is really full."
Rooney: "And you have a really big baby in your tummy."
Me: "What is your favorite food?"
Rooney, after thinking about it for a while: "I always really like treats."
Rooney: "You count to 20 and I'll go hide!"
Me (because I'm lazy): "I want to color."
Rooney: "We can't have time to color right now!"
Me: "Everybody's toots stink a little bit."
Rooney: "I don't!"
"My pull-up keeps pooping."
"I'm gonna be a Rooney-mom when I grow up!"
"You're my best mommy forever!"
Rooney: "Why is my name Rooney?"
Me: "Because that's what mommy and daddy picked for you."
Rooney: "I want to change my name. I want to be a Emma!"
Me: "Oh, I'm sorry, we picked Rooney."
Rooney: "No fanks."
"I'm not growing up very well. Jude is growing up."
Me: "Can you please help me set the table?"
Rooney: "I sure can!"
"Daddy, you wanna come change my poopy?"
"One day, in a great big city, there was a really big girl who went on the potty all by herself, and it was me!"
Rooney: "I'm thirsty! I'm thirsty!"
Me: *hands her water*
Rooney: "Thanks, lady!"
Having trouble pedaling her trike: "Maybe it needs new batteries."
