Do You Speak Hana?

Earlier today I was on the phone with Neeny while outside with Hana. She was "going bye-bye," which means she was riding her Barbie ATV. Today was trash day. We were on the sidewalk in front of our house when the truck pulled up to empty our recycle bin. Hana jumped off the ATV and started to run far, far away, but I caught her. The man driving the truck and I made eye contact as we were cracking up at her and he waved. Then the arm came out to pick up the bin. Hana tried to run out of my arms, all the while yelling "I don't like the trash truck, Mommy! I don't like it!" Neeny witnessed all of this over the phone. Just a moment ago, after Hana's much needed bath (Ahem. She attempted to wipe herself after going number two. Ahem.) we were enjoying our night time snuggle when I asked Hana if she told Daddy about the trash truck. She shot me a dirty look but I proceeded to tell the humorous story anyway. Once finished I asked her if she remembered the cool robot arm, as I had called it earlier. She looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I don't want to hear about it! I don't want to hear anymore, okay?!" Then she covered her head up with the blanket.

Also during the above mentioned snuggle time we played the snore game, as we usually do. Hana tells us to "Go sleepy" and we pretend to be asleep and snore. Most of the time she even tells us to snore. She loves this game! Tonight, however, instead of calling it snoring she was calling it booking. At first we didn't know what she was even talking about. Joe would pretend to be asleep and begin to snore and she would say "Don't book, okay, Daddy?" Then I would be laying there just looking at her and she would say, "Book, Mommy!" It wasn't until she decided that she was going to "book too" that we realized she meant snoring.

Before snuggle time earlier we were playing the "I'm gonna get your nose" game. It's pretty self explanatory. One of us says to the other "I'm gonna get your nose!" and the other says "Oh no!" and pulls away just before you can get it. Tonight Joe decided to move his head all around while Hana tried to get his nose, which caused her to say, "Don't mook, Daddy! Stop mooking!" Just like the word snore, she also knows the word move. I guess she's developing her own language.

Just now as I was getting on the computer to blog about all of this, per Joe's instructions, he was taking her up to bed. We said goodnight to one another and yelled our usual as they walked away and headed up the stairs, but tonight she changed it up a bit. She peeked down from the stairway where she could see me and I could see her and said "Night night, Mommy! I'm up and down!"

Speaking of up and down. Yesterday I asked Hana if she wanted a tee-tail (aka ponytail). She said yes, so I gave her a small one on top of her head. Then she said "Two, Mommy! I want two tee-tails!' In order to give her pigtails I first removed the current tee-tail. That was a big mistake. "No, Mommy! Put back, please!" To which I replied, "I thought you wanted two?" "I do, Mommy! Put back!" So I obeyed. I replaced the tee-tail with a new identical tee-tail. Then she pointed to another random spot on the side of her head and said, "The other goes right here!" So I obliged. Once we were finished she happily told me, "Look, Mommy! They're up and down! My tee-tails are all up and down!"
