Conversations with Marleigh

I have been talking a lot lately about when baby brother is born. That Mommy will have to go to the hospital, etc., in hopes of somewhat preparing Marleigh. 

Me:  Mommy will go to the hospital and have baby brother and both Mommy and baby brother will have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Marleigh:  Daddy do it?

Me:  Daddy do what?  (I was a little confused)

Marleigh:  Daddy go to the hospital and have baby brother? 

Me:  Oh, honey, no.... Mommy has to do it. 

Marleigh:  Okay.

Glad that answer sufficed.  I really didn't want to get into THAT conversation as to why Mommy had to do it.  :)

Marleigh has turned into a random juke box.  She bursts into different songs all day long.  She knows tons of kid songs, "Jesus Loves Me", "Mary Had A Little Lamb", "Baa Baa Blacksheep"..... the list goes on and on.  She also knows quite a few country songs from hearing them on the radio.  She loves "Mean"  by Taylor Swift, "Homeboy"  by Eric Church, and "Honey Bee"  by Blake Shelton. 

Me:  Marleigh, you sing so pretty, would you please sing Mommy a song?

Marleigh:  Hold on Mom, I need my microphone.  I'll be right back.

The little diva ran to her room and got her toy microphone.  She came back and started dancing and singing, "Country girl, shake it for me, girl."  Hmmmm.... maybe not the most appropriate song for her to be singing?

Potty training isn't really progressing.  I haven't pushed her much.  Just ask her randomly if she wants to use the big girl potty. 

Me:  Marleigh, would you like to try to potty on the big girl potty?

Marleigh:  No thanks, Mom.  I'm good. 

Me:  But I would be so proud of you if you pottied on the big girl potty.

Marleigh:  Really, Mom.  I'm good.
