Fun with words and thoughts

Anya’s been saying a lot of very funny things lately. For example she just walked into the bathroom when I had asked mom for something and she said, “I’ll take care of you daddy.” Which was pretty funny. She was very earnest. Generally I post all these things to facebook, but facebook is so fleeting.

Anya's first impersonations:

[Doing a Dad Impersonation]"Hello Anya, I'm going to the dog park, then I'm going to work"

Mom: What do I say Anya?

Anya: “Roaaar!"

Funny Kid Quote #1:

Dad: Honey, I would like some privacy.

Anya: [Following me into the bathroom] You can have some of my privacy!

Funny Kid Quote #2:

Anya: [At dinner] Can you feed me?

Dad: Are you a baby?

Anya: Yeah!

Dad: I thought you were a big girl.

Anya: I will be a big girl, but I'm a baby.

Funny Kid Quote #3:

Anya: [At the Zoo referring to the hand rail in the reptile room] I just licked that!

A trip to the Arboritum

Today the weather was fine, and seeing as how I'm between jobs I thought I would take my little 'un to the arboretum. My hopes were that she would see real turtles and beavers in their natural habitat. And while we didn't actually see any beavers beavering, we did see beaver dams and ducks and big turtles and ants and geese. She also got to learn about blackberry brambles and nettles...though she managed to stir clear of business end of both.
Here are some highlights:

Easter 2010

Looking back at pictures, it seems ever Easter of Anya's life has been somewhat nasty and stormy. Knowing no better, and assured of great prizes, she marches forth undeterred.
