"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all......"


1. You know you have a problem with sharing when you're part of this conversation:

Mommy: Oops! You put your elbow in the toothpaste. Don't worry, it was my fault. I wasn't watching where I put the toothbrush.

Ana: No! It was MY fault.

Mommy: No, baby. Don't worry, it was Mommy's fault.

Ana: No! It was MY fault. MINE!

Mommy: Okay. It can be your fault.
Now, if only she will continue to think that way when she's 35 and going into therapy for whatever Mommy has done wrong ;-)

2. The girl's humor seems advanced beyond her age - she's already getting into potty jokes. At preschool the other day, while sitting on the potty:

"Mom? Do you want to hear a story? Once upon a time there was a girl named Ana and she said..." (long pause as she was apparently working up to the next part) "Farttttttttttttt"

3. New entry in America's Got Talent: The child who can actually make a relatively annoying song even more annoying:

"It's a small world affer all, It's a small world affer all, It's a small world affer all, It's a small world affer all, It's a small world affer all" X 100 (or whenever Mommy and Daddy start to lose it).

4. Love Bug is having an affair with candy. It is her newest love, the mention of which can stop her in her tracks and send her into spasms of joy and anticipation. Imagine how happy she was when she misheard the following:
Mommy: Ana, we're going to go to a restaurant with Grant, Lauren, and Lindsay. Won't that be fun?

Ana: What it's called?

Mommy: Andy's.

Ana: "Ooh! I love it! Eat it all up! Yummy in my tummy!"
That was one disappointed kid when it finally got sorted out.

5. A flair for the dramatic is starting to emerge:
"Mommy. Do you want me to sing you a song?"

"Sure, Baby."

"Wait for it." (30 second pause)

"Wait for it." (30 second pause)

"Wait for it." (30 second pause)
This went on for about 5 minutes before she finally started singing. And guess what the song choice was? You guessed it! "It's a small world affer all. It's a small world affer all. It's a small world affer all..."

6. Guess what?!? Ana has her first boyfriend! It was total news to us. A friend asked her if she had a boyfriend in preschool, to which Ana answered in the affirmative. Mommy wasn't too impressed until Ana said that his name was Nathan, an actual boy in her class.

Mommy checked out said boyfriend this morning at drop off. Cute kid. Nice dad. Mommy approached father and son. "So, this is the infamous boyfriend of Ana, Nathan? We didn't even realize that Ana had a boyfriend in class."

Nathan's dad turned to Nathan and said, "Nathan, Ana is your girlfriend?" To which Nathan looked nonplussed. Apparently their relationship was news to everyone but Ana. That's our girl. Just name what you want and go after it ;-)
