If You Don’t Have A Two Year Old, Steal or Borrow One For the Weekend March 10, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Friends, Kansas, Princess Hannah, Thoughts , trackbackThis weekend I:
Ventured onto unfamiliar freeways to visit my friend Bethany.
What should have been a 30 minute drive turned into an hour and a half.
Hannah thought she would point out the obvious and whined several times from the back seat, “MOM! WE’RE LOST!”
Then she said, “My tummy hurts.”
She wasn’t kidding.
Seconds later, she vomited all over herself. In her car seat. In the car.
Lost in an unfamiliar city all by ourselves with only a GPS map on the iPhone, (which was not as helpful as is sounds) I pulled over to take a breather. (And clean up the mess of course.)
As soon as I pulled over, Hannah beat me to the punch and said, “Are we going to take a breather?”
Yes. (I probably say that to much.)
After cleaning up the vomit and “taking a breather,” Hannah asked with tears running down her face if she could go to the doctor.
Of course, she could go to the doctor. She lives with one! So I said, “Honey, as soon as we get home we’ll have daddy take a look at you.”
And do you know what her response was?
“NO! NO! Daddy’s not a real doctor! I want to go to a real doctor! Not daddy! He’s not a real doctor!” (David felt awesome after hearing this.)
We finally found Bethany’s house.
Certainly one to speak her mind, Hannah took one look at Bethany’s bedroom and exclaimed to her while pointing at all the stuff in her room, “Bethany! Your room is a mess!” (She is in the process of moving.)
Everyone should have a two year old. It’ll keep life real, exciting, and unpredictable.
Hannah always wants to say the prayer at meals and bedtime. (Which is fine with us. It’s nice to give a turn to someone else after 12 years of just going back and forth between the two of us.)
During a couple of prayers this weekend, she thanked Heavenly father for our bum bums, feet, bottoms, and bum bums again.
That is three references to our bums.
Like I just mentioned, everyone should have, steal, or borrow a two year old.
Even if it’s just for the weekend.

Oh no! That’s too funny about her dad not being a real doctor. I guess I can see where she’s coming from. He’s just her dad!
LOL she is too funny. Sorry about the throw up in the car…been there done that.
I agree, everyone should experiance life with a 2 year old. It is a whole new world.
Sorry to hear about the puke-incident. Boy do I remember times…
That pic of Dallin took me by suprise. I thought at first it was Hannah and how she was looking younger, until I looked again and realized how pretty Dallin is. Maybe it’s the red hat. No, it’s his beautiful eyes.
As for David not being a real doctor, well he’s on his way…and soon we will officially know him as Dr. Dad
