State Fair

Wednesday was the first day of the Ohio State Fair.  The weather was beautiful, so I was excited to take Harper to her first fair experience.  She LOVED.IT.  To say the least.  I mean, it's animals, fried food, and crazy things to look at...all toddler favorites.

Hanging out with the sheep.  She was sad there weren't amy pigs at the fair yet, but loved all the other animals

Her first fair corn dog.  Passing the tradition on to the next generation

Feeding the pygme goats at the petting zoo.  I was proud of brave she was going right up to the animals to give them carrots.

Talking Two Year Old

As Harper's vocabulary continues to grow, I am constantly amazed at the conversations we have.  Here are a few gems:
1. (Background - she loves to close all the doors upstairs every morning.  Also she watches Dora the Explorer as much as I'll let her.)
       Me: Harper, Mommy needs you to open her door
       Harper: No.
       Me: Please open the door.
       Harper: No mommy, you have to say abre (open in Spanish)

2. While making silly faces and noises at lunch....
      Harper:  What's Harper doing?
      Me: I don't know
      Harper:  I don't know either
followed by 2 minutes of hysterical laughing.  Seriously, when did she learn "either" and how to use it correctly?

3.  Harper:  I want to watch T.V.
     Me: Why?
     Harper: Because I have to.
Maybe we need to do some lessons on have to versus want to?!

Some days I think I'm conversing with a 14 year old.  I can only imagine what's to come.
