Savannah's Weblog

When we're leaving some place, like the house, or leaving the church building to go home, Savannah thinks that everybody that we pass is going to the place we just left.

This morning Savannah sat down in the kitchen floor and said, "Don't break me in pieces." I repeated it back to make sure I'd understood it correctly and asked, "Why would I do that?"

She replied, "Like Humpty Dumpty."

I called Granny Ruth last night on her birthday. Granny Ruth was sick, had been all week. Savannah chatted with her a few minutes and gave the phone back saying, "Night night. Seet dreams. Feel better." I forgot to tell Savannah to say Happy Birthday!

Savannah's picking some things up after we've taken a friend to the hospital a few times. She said this morning that her blocks (that she was building into a sandwich for me) had a boo boo. She said, they need go see doctor, get band aid. I gave her three pieces of Scotch tape. She patched them up and said they feel better.

Sunday, Brad pointed out she had a pocket on her dress, then another pocket on the other side and yet another, smaller pocket above that. She put her hand in each one and said, "I need money."

Pulling out of Home Depot today, I thought she said something was under the van. When I asked what word she had used, she thought a few seconds and said, "Hmmm, I can't think." (A phrase I had used a few minutes earlier when she was questioning/bugging me while I was deciding between lightweight and regular spackling paste.)

On a similar note, Brad told me, unfortunately I didn't witness it, he let her pick out her toothbrush before bed. (She's accumulated about 3. We don't normally give her that kind of choice.) She responded, "Let me think about it."

I took Savannah to a little farmyard that one of the grocery stores has in a corner of the lot: hens, roosters, turkey, geese, sheep, cows, a bunny. She was thrilled looking around. She was about to walk into a pole, and I calmly said, "Watch out." She looked, made a little detour around it and said, "Thank you."

Occasionally, she wakes up crying, unable to tell us why. One night she woke up twice, the first time saying something about a rocking chair. (Earlier she'd gotten her fingers pinched between two different rocking chair arms in the church's nursery.) The second time she said that Carter, a friend of hers who's always been nice to her, was mean to her. (He'd been pretending to be a growling dog earlier that evening.)

What used to be "Cooby Cooby" is now "Cooby Dooby." I had to change the channel cause Scooby Doo is a little scary. Although she said, "I not 'cared."

I don't know where it came from, but Savannah thinks we can't go over bridges. When I ask her why, she says, "Cause, Mama, might fall in."

She also says (once after I'd stopped rather suddenly) "Goin' too fast, Mama."

Ever since I bought her a Dora/Boots puzzle, Savannah has gone puzzle crazy! She's quite good too. I helped her several times with it one morning, but later in the day I walked in and she was doing it all by herself. She's now enjoying a Blue's Clues and a Pooh puzzle (ages 3-7 that her Amie sent her.) We've barely worked with her on them, but she gets right in and puts them together.

Savannah says "hide and see" for hide and seek. Brad said tonight that it makes sense because she hides and we see. She still covers her face in the floor to hide or pulls the cover over her head giggling audibly with her little fingers obviously clutching the comforter.

Things that she saw and did a month ago happened "last night."

On a similar note, she said, "Bless you" after she or Daddy sneezed, so I faked an achoo to get her to say it again. She objected and used the word "after", understanding that my sneeze came after she just said bless you, and that apparently isn't allowed.
