What does Jillian say?

One of Jillian's favorite "games" to play is "What does Papa/Grandad/Daddy (you get the picture) say?" By the way the correct answers to those questions are: Papa - "Sugar", Grandad - "Tatertot" (since that is what each of them call her) Daddy - "Beeeball!" (he doesn't really ever shout baseball, that I know of, but...) So, I thought I would dedicate a post to some of my favorite things Beans says!

-"Jee-ann hippo, hippo-powamus for hawoweeeen!" This is said especially the first time you see her. She will tell everyone. Me, Neal, grandparents, people checking us out at the store, friends that we run into, our pastor who happened to be on the phone at the time, etc, etc, etc. This all started a few months ago when Meredith asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween. Jillian decided then and there she would be a hippo. There is no changing her mind.

-"Jee-Ann Mae kicut (haircut). It's nice. Pretty." Then she goes through everyone else that she has ever met and asks if they got a "kicut" too. Then tells me that their hair looks nice and/or pretty, too. Apparantly, I was very insistent that her hair was "nice" after her recent trim!

-Jillian loves Dora, so we hear lots of Dora quotes around the house. This especially includes things about Swiper. "Swiper is a sneaky fox!" can be heard when there is no sign of Swiper. And she loves to pretend to be Swiper, and say "You'll never see mama now! HA HA HA!" It is somewhat funny. I think?

-Since starting school, Jillian has not only been really excited about being there, but also about being at Sunday School. She comes out and say "I had fun! NO PUSH!" So, she is learning to have fun and valuable rules! Now I wonder, is this a rule that is emphasized to her or to her?

-One of Jillian's favorite past-times lately is setting up a baby doll or stuffed animal in the baby high chair, then serving them a piece of play cake. She then sings them a very passionate version of "Happy Birthday" and then pretends to blow out the candle for them. Then every time, she runs through the house shouting "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Baby biwt-day! Baby blow!"
