Briannaisms

Here are a few phrases Brianna has been using lately (I'll type them out in correct English, simply because it's faster than trying to type them out as she pronounces):

-"Oh my WORD!"
-"Where's my blanket? I love it!"
-"I have two babies in MY tummy!"
-"I don't knoooooww"
-"I have owie - KISS IT!"
-"Where's my toothpaste?"
-"I brush by self!"
-"I not poopy, I peepee"
-"I want to call Nonny/Papa/Meredith/Daddy" (in that exact order, usually).
-"Watch me dancing!"
-"I want honey bread"
-"I went potty. I need treats."
-"What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that?"
-"Where ___ go? Where ___ go? Where ___ go?"
-"I so cute"
-"I like this song"
-"No singing mommy! Daddy sing"
-"No dancing mommy!" (it's a good thing I'm thick-skinned or she might have hurt my feelings by now)
-"I go get mail!"
-"I want to go SHOPPING"
-"I see pictures Brianna?"
-"I sleep mommy's bed?"
-"I choose cereal"
-"I blinking! I yawning. I kick! I stretch. I stomping!" (some variation of this, with randoms actions thrown in)
-"Phone ringing! I get it!"
-"DADDY! Come GET me!" (her 7am morning shout)
-"Stop - I need to shake this" (as she grabs a stop sign post near our house while we're on walks. She grabs the post, shakes it, and continues walking).
-"SEE? I sharing!"
-"SEE? SEE? SEE? SEE? SEE?"
-"Amy my friend. Sienna my friend. Shaylee my friend. Maya my friend. Parker my friend..." (and continues to list all her friends)
-"I go see Tom neighbor" (he always gives her animal crackers).
-"I go airplane see Nonny and Papa"
-"I feed fish!"
-"No sit carseat!!!!"
-"I slipped fell down owie"
-"I love you. You love me. We happy family. Great big hug, kiss me you. Won't you say love me toooooo"
-"Take me to different park"
-"I watch different Elmo movie"
-"No treadmill mommy!"
-"I had nice nap"
-"Daddy at work. I go see Daddy office?"
-"I got new car!"
-"I making mess."
-"I sorry mommy. I sorry mommy. I SORRY MOMMY" (she continues, escalating severely, until I say "I forgive you" and hug her. It's very tough to do when I'm really upset with her).
-"Last name McKell"
-"I four"
-"It's MY birthday" (whenever she hears anyone saying it's someone else's birthday).
-"Thank you Daddy. Thank you Mommy. Thank you ___. Thank you____." (she thanks everyone in the room and will continue thanking them until she receives a firm "you're welcome" response).
-"Mommy, I really appreciate all that you do and how much you sacrifice for my well-being. I am forever in your debt and will show my gratitude by living a virtuous and productive life." (Seriously, she says this ALL the time.)

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
