Maisie-isms #3

I just came across this list, the third edition of "Maisie-isms", in my draft folder started in summer of 2015 and added on to November of the same year. Oops, I kind of (most definitely) dropped the ball on this one... and probably so many other posts as well, but better late than never! I think I will continue with the "isms" because the girl's crack us up daily with their banter and silly sayings. :)

I dropped an apple in the sink while I was peeling it "shoot!"  Maisie came in and said "I'm sorry mama" and I told her "that's ok baby it's not your fault, you don't have to be sorry." Maisie then responded "but you always say you're sorry when I fall down and get hurt and that's not your fault."

Ellie was walking in the backyard by the lilac bush "Ellie is bonding with nature right now."

Maisie: What do you think Ellie's favorite color is?

Me: We don't know yet because she's not old enough to tell us.

Maisie: it's probably the color of your tummy.

Me: What?! Like skin color??

Maisie: No. Like the INside.

(Like when I was pregnant with her haha)

Sitting outside around the fire pit watching a couple of the resident pigeons (the creatures Austin openly despises most) strut around on the roof of the house.
Maisie: (knowing how much Austin hates the pigeons) Why don't we just get a knife and halve them? When you halve them, they die. And then we will see their guts.

Austin: Ew I don't want to see pigeon guts.

Maisie: I do!

Maisie pretending to be Dracula "I vant some beef jorkey (jerky)

Playing with her school erasers "This is Professor Hoots-bird"

When we were walking home from school "Uhg... It smells like a cat's toot."

Upon hearing Austin say my middle name is (which is Ashley by the way).

Maisie scoots in real close and puts her face to mine- practically nose to nose and in a loud whisper says: "Your. Middle name. Is. Hash brown?!"

"It's about to get real stinky." (upon tooting)

We were scoping out places to take our family pictures pretty much in the middle of no where Idaho, when Maisie said:

"I hope we don't get lost because we don't have any food in the car... Well, we do have mommy's milk." --this then led to an interesting conversation about how long I could keep my whole family alive solely on breast milk. Haha!

Watching Star Wars:
"Who would be on Darth Vader's side? Not me! I'm on God's side!"

"Luke Skywalker is awesome, cool, a Jedi and awesome." It seems Maisie has a bit of a crush on Mr Skywalker

Maisie's teacher told us a funny thing that Maisie had said while they were talking about Pilgrams and the Native Americans in Kindergarten and how they were the "first" people. Maisie then raised her hand and astutely said "No. Adam and Eve were!"

Maisie-isms #2

-Maisie cracks us up every day. If it's not what she's saying it's how she says it, but lucky for us, she says funny things all the time. I don't think we will ever be short on material that's for sure! So here's a new batch of Maisie-isms to remember:

-Maisie's lullaby to Ellie:

God loves me,

God loves you.

Hollywood, Idaho, French, Oregon.

He loves everyone.

-While in Primary in church:

Teacher: what does batman do?

All the kids yelling: flies!

Maisie raises her hand reverently and when she's called on replies: he glides.

All the teachers were impressed and so one of them asked: wow, how did you know that Maisie?

Maisie: my mom told me.

That's right baby! haha

-Playing Doctor Maisie & Ellie.

Maisie: ok you need a heart transplant. take these pills so you can go to sleep.

 (she then lifts up my shirt exposing my stomach and proceeds to to create a long incision the width of my belly.)

Me: (whispering because I am supposed to be sleeping) Maisie my heart is up here.

Maisie: (whispering back with squinty disapproving eyes because I am not supposed to be talking) I know, but that's where your boobs* are and you need privacy.

Also, through the duration of my extensive surgery Ellie kept trying to climb on me and Maisie kept saying "Doctor Ellie, don't climb on the patient!"

*we mostly refer to them as breasts or just chest, but it caught me off guard that she said boobs and was so nonchalant about it and that's what made it so funny. 

-We put a red lightbulb in a lamp in our room when Ellie was in there in case of night time diaper changes or when we needed to find something (pluggie) because it provides enough light to see, but doesn't wake you up like a normal lightbulb would. It's a lot softer. Anyway, Maisie would always say it looked like blood. She wasn't creeped out because Maisie likes anything and all things creepy, but one day as she turned the light on she turned to Austin and I while we were laying down and she said:

"I'm dying to see you."

-Teaching her how to count to ten in German.

For neun (nine) she would say "annoying' so it sounded a little something like this... sieben, (seven) acht, (eight) annoying (neun/nine), zehn (ten). The first time she really thought we said annoying instead of neun, but subsequent times she did it just to make us laugh.

-Maisie cuddles up to me on the couch and says:

Maisie: I just have a question for you mama.

Me: Yes?

Maisie: What's romance?

Me: Well, it's love. A romantic story is about love or about falling in love.

Maisie: So the story of you and daddy getting married is romantic?

Me:Yep.

Maisie: Is it also romantic when you are in a love boat?

-I made corn on the cob and Maisie wanted the corn holders so she wouldn't get her fingers buttery but she couldn't remember or didn't know what to call them so she asked:

"Do we have any corn stabilizers?"

-Watching The Phantom of the Opera (Maisie is obsessed!) and when the phantom sings "in all your fantasies" from the song Phantom of the Opera Maisie exclamied:

"Fantasies?! That's phantom talk!"

Maisie-isms

We went and exercised at the University gym/indoor track. Maisie ran laps ahead of us and every time we came around the start again Maisie would be waiting for us just like this just waiting for us to finally catch up.

Maisie one morning made a "nest" or "cozy spot" on the bottom shelf of the changing table complete with the iPad streaming either Phineas and Ferb or Octonauts.

Maisie is hilarious. This isn't new information I know, but lately it seems she has been extra funny. Just the things she says and how she says them crack us up! I decided to write a few down...

Upon walking into the family room and seeing Austin on the couch:

"Daddy are you taking a siesta?"

"Is that Tom Burgeron?" We may or may not be watching AFV together...

Maisie had a really bad ear infection, so Austin had bought her a little special bunny stuffed animal to help Maisie feel better and she brought it to her doctors appointment. After the doctor noticed the bunny austin said "maybe he has had ear infections too." then maisie responded "Dad, its not real. If it was real it would poop on my bed." Yes Maisie. Yes he would.

"Ellie is really cute huh mom? But she poops in her diaper and thats gross." Truth.

"Mommy, the pilot fish is my favorite fish! Oh and the flapnosed ray!"

"I can't be sick! Now I'll have to cancel my summer party!"

The girl has been obsessed about planning a summer party in summer. I'm sure we will oblige her.

Austin: ok, Maisie it's time for scriptures... are you going to read yours first?

Maisie: yeah. The spatulas say... spatulas!?! I said spatulas! I mean scriptures!

"Oh that looks like a fun place to live... I want to live there. But that means I would have to live in Mexico... and talk Spanish... and I don't know how to talk Spanish."

"My mommy made blueberry bread this morning! I am so proud of her."

"Are you so proud of me?" nothing makes this girl happier than when we say we are proud of her, so we say it a lot :)

I could and should do a weekly Maisie-isms post. She is just too much fun right now. I love my little Maisie Moo.

Things she says...

Maisie has been amazing us with her vocal abilities lately. We have been loving all of her observations, silly impressions and sweet compliments (the girl sure knows how to butter us up) . Every day she has us cracking up about something she has said or beaming with pride at the sweet and intelligent girl she has become.

Examples:

"I don't have issues!" But we all know thats a lie... haha

"I'm melting!" after spilling water on herself. Wizard of Oz really left an impression on her.

After I pointed to a picture of her that was taken when she was just a couple months old and asking her "Do you know who that baby is?" she responded with "That's baby Jesus!"

"It's _______ (stuffed animal's name) birthday. Can we make him a cake?" haha nice try.

"You're my best friend!"

After she forces us to pretend cry she hugs us and says: "Oh, don't cry. It's okay. Don't be sad."

"Don't worry. It's not a big deal."

"Let's watch Jeopardy!" Goodness, I love this girl.

"There's a puncture, we need to mend it." What the what!?

In a British accent "Ello, I'm Mai-SAY" "mum-may" "dad-day"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"Can we take Kermit home please?"

"I'm so glad to see you!"

"5 more minutes!" when asking her to come over to eat usually when she's playing in her circus tent.

"ready or not, here I come!"

"I'm Woody! Howdy, howdy, howdy!"

"It's a bit too loud/quiet/cold/hot"

"I'm starving." I think she got that from me. I tend to be dramatic about my hunger pangs.

"It's freezing cold!"

"I... want... my.... mommy!"

"I've missed you!"

"My crib is beautiful... see no poops!" Yes Maisie once made a huge mess when she supposed to be napping once. I don't think we have fully recovered yet.

"Oh dear!" (also, oh bother and rats/drats).

Mommy, you're cute.

"Daddy is having issues." This happens quite frequently.

"You came back!"

"You're pooping daddy, aren't you? You're pooping!" Said very randomly (and casually) when we were all cuddling in bed early one morning. One of the funniest things I have ever heard.

"Let's all calm down guys."

"Look at you go!" Never fails to make me smile.

"Bless you ______." (who ever sneezed)

"Daddy's hair is pretty, huh Mommy?"

"Would you like some tea? Blow on it first, it's hot!"

"I'm so really really full." also, tired and hungry.

Miranda was reading Hamlet for school so there's been a lot of Hamlet talk around the house which led Maisie to say: "You're a Hamlet!"

"Austin! Sammie!" She thinks it's funny that we have real names. haha

Not only does she say funny things, but she also names her stuffed animals/toys odd names.

Let's see, we have...

A seahorse named Tom Tummy. No joke that's his name. We still have no clue how she came up with it.

A cat named Cute.

A dolphin named Obi.

A blanket named Wookie. (Sensing a Star Wars theme?)

A frog named Cha Cha.

A doll named Peggy.
A snail puppet named Marsall.

The iPad is called the Hi-pad. haha

Oh, and she just recently started coming up with nicknames for things like:

Gram for Grandma, Gramp for Grandpa, dipe (diaper), Kip (Kipper), Mais (Maisie)

This little girl cracks me up. She's feisty and goodness, is she smart! She always has something to say and I love hearing her cute little voice. If she's not chatting it up, she's either singing one of the many songs she already knows or making one up as she goes. Austin and I always talk about how she is a beam of sunshine. Albeit, and exhausting beam of sunshine, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
She truly brings so much happiness to our lives.
