Oh That Bean!

ok, so i haven't talked much about my darling daughter lately, have i? well.... she is good and, um, three. one of her "things" right now is that she doesn't particularly want her picture taken and when she does allow you to you get all these weird ass faces. BUT of course she loves taking her own picture and does it quite often. (i really need to get some of these off her camera to share with you all some time.)
****
so, here is a little beanism for you. yep, we still have them they just are fewer and farther between now- at least the really good ones are. ;)

we are driving down the road. she asks, "how is your hand on your arm?"
i ask, "excuse me??"
"how is it attached to your arm?" she replies (with that "duh mom" voice that she uses when she thinks she is being perfectly clear.)
"oh, by your bones honey. all your bones are connected together," i say. (simple is ALWAYS best- less chance of additional impossible to answer questions.)
"hmm. i wish it could come off..... i wish my hand was on my face. then i could pick things up with my face!" she declares with excitement.
wha- huh?!?!
(i have to stiffle my laughter because, oh my goodness why on earth would you want a hand coming out of your face?!? i can't even look at my husband because he is shaking with giggles.)
"that would be interesting," i say "but i think that might look kinda funny. don't you?"
she sits and thinks for a moment and kinda chuckles to herself. "yeah, i don't think i want a hand on my face now."
ha!! i really wonder what makes her think up these things sometimes!
****

here is one of the only decent pictures i've gotten of her in the past week.
still as cute as ever. still as ornery as ever. still bossy, loving, hostile, adoring and ridiculous as ever too. she can throw a temper at the drop of a hat- you won't even know what hit you. she also spontaneously gushes with love and sweetness. she is very smart but doesn't always want to show it. and even though some days i'd like to throw her out the window, i guess we will keep her. after all, who would make us laugh if she was gone?? :)

I adore The Bean! One of the challenges in 'The Tournament of Minds' once was to suggest which part of your body could be changed into the most useful tool....I think her thinking was perfectly logical! :-D

That first shot is great! She is so funny. She does think up some good ones.

Same thing over here with Harrison, less frequent Harrisonisms because he has gotten better at expressing him self. Plus I just can't remember them when they happen when we're out and about.
