E-I-E-I-O

We love to sing around our house (rarely is it in tune). Sydney's favorite song to sing these days is "Old McDonald" or as Sydney prefers "E-I-E-I-O". We sing it all day long with many variations to it, in addition to the tradition farm animal version. Lately we sing it about a witch who says "BOO". This blog idea is already paying off, because last night Sydney was singing the song to Zoe (who was just loving it) and I thought "That would be cute to put on my blog". Normally I just would have thought that it was cute, told a few people, then forgotten about it. Wahoo... go blog. Here's a tiny clip...

Favorite Sydney Sayings

Sydney says some really cute and funny things all the time. Here are a few...

(1) Whenever were just sitting around and not really talking, out of nowhere Sydney will say...

Sydney: "So... How are you?"
Mom/Dad: "I'm good. How are you?"
Sydney: "My good." (with her head slightly tilted to the right and nodding up and down.)

(2) "Please Nicely" - I once told Sydney that she needed to ask nicely if she wanted something. Ever since then she has said "Please Nicely".

(3) "Yeah. That's what My talking about." - Lately Sydney has been speaking in full sentences and some times I just don't catch on very fast to what she's trying to tell me. But when I finally confirm that I know what she's trying say, she'll tell me... "Yeah. That's what My talking about." 7.30.08

(4) "My sad... My watch a movie and my feel better" 7.30.08

(5) Sydney's newest thing is to ask me if we can do something and then saying "(big excited gasp)... THAT BE FUN!?!" an example from today is "Go cabin? (big excited gasp)... THAT BE FUN!?!" 7.31.08

(6) "I want to play with my soup-case Mommy" - suitcase 8.17.08

(7) "Old McDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O" - McDonald's restaurant. August 2008

(8) "Wendy's Old Mcdonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O" - Last Saturday Sydney wanted to eat at McDonald's for lunch with her Grandpa and Grandma. But they wanted to go to Wendy's instead. So Grandma told Sydney that we were going to Old McDonald's little girls restaurant... "Wendy McDonalds". Sydney responded with "Oh... Wenny Old McDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O?" 9.11.08

(9) Sydney still has a hard time staying in bed to fall asleep. It takes about 5-10 tries of us putting her back in bed. Well tonight when I was putting her back to bed for the 8th or so time, I said "Sydney, do NOT get out of bed or else." and Sydney responded with "or else you'll FREAK OUT?" 10.14.08

(10) My sister came to spend the weekend with us, just for fun. Syndey was playing with Michelle's hair while they were watching "Sleeping Beauty" and Sydney tells her... "I do like your hair. It's like a dream, a dream come true." 10.18.08

(11) Today my phone was ringing while I was putting Zoe down for a nap. Sydney tried to answer it but she hasn't figured out that she needs to slide the phone open for it to answer. She kept saying "Hello", and finally after about 15 hello's she started yelling... "Hey! Talk to me! . . . Hey! TALK TO MEEE!" 11.25.08

(12) Last night I was on my way to a Christmas Goodie Exchange with some friends and I told Sydney I'd bring her home a special treat. Well this morning after sydney had eaten her breakfast she turns to me and says...

Sydney: "I have an idea"
Mom: "You do!?!"
Sydney: "I have a special treat for you."
Mom: "Do you want me to get a special treat for you?"
Sydney: "Yesth" (yes with a little lisp) 12.4.08

(13) Sydney fell down today and was really crying. I went to help her up and she said with tears streaming down her face... "I just want to hold you Cinderella" (I'm Cinderella and Sydney is Tinker Bell or Snow White.) 12.22.08

(14) Today we put on some lady bug tatoos on Sydney's arms. I asked her how they were doing and she responded... "They're lookin' good."

(15) "I love you as MUCH as I can!"

(16) I told Sydney today that the first letter in the word "underwear" was "U". She responded with "No it isn't". I of course responded with "YES, it is.". She replied, "I am NOT underwear!!!" 6.5.09

(17) Sydney said this to Zoe at dinner tonight... "Zoe. Eat your dinner... you don't want me to count to 12." 11.2.09

(18) My conversation with Sydney... (12.5.09)
Me: Sydney stop doing that.
Sydney: I can't hear you.
Me: Yes, you can. And stop right now.
Sydney: I can't hear you, I have headphones in.
Me: No you don't.
Sydney: Yes I do. I'm listening to music and I can't hear you.

(19) "I just love Valentine's Day! It just makes my heart beep!" (2.14.12)
