Random Shorts

Tonight during bathtime, Teagan was playing with her two containers of soap paint that Grandma Farmer gave her. Each paint is a different shade of pink. She had the light pink container in her hand and set it down and pointed to the other one. She said "I ont pink one tease" (I want the pink one please). Seizing this as an opportunity to teach her about the different shades, I said, "But they're both pink!" She surprised me by quickly replying, "I ont dock pink" (I want dark pink)... So much for that lesson!
When she got out of the bathtub, and we were drying off, she looked at her fingers and said "I puckered!"

For some reason when she was very little I thought it would be a good idea to name the doll that has become her constant companion "Baby Hope". Lately she has been referring to herself by her whole name, Teagan Hope Moore. She now gets the two confused, sometimes calling herself "Baby Hope Moore". Apparently today at daycare they were working on a project. Each of the kids colored a duck, pasted it to a background, and then were asked to name it. Teagan named her duck "Ducky Hope Moore".



And finally, before I sign off, here are some photos of Teagan "hepping" her Daddy with his crossword puzzles.

I'll Have What She's Having

This weekend, Roger's parents came up from Cape to visit. The one thing we love to notice is that Teagan never needs any time to warm up to them after not seeing them for a little while. She knows "amma" & "ampa" and is excited to see them every time.
Sunday morning we were playing with play doh. Liz sculpted a turtle and I made a mini snowman. Teagan was busy doing her own thing when she grabbed our sculptures and smashed them into her own creation. She then said, "I make hammich", to which Liz replied "What kind of sandwich are you making?"
Teagan answered "Big Hammich".
Liz asked, "What's in it?"
Without hesitation, Teagan replied "Tuttle" (turtle) and "No man" (Snowman).
Of course. How silly of us to ask. Sounds delicious.
