I wish I was better at recording the sweet, cute, smart and funny things Little Bug says literally every single day! I say I will remember, but then time goes by and I forget. I hate that! There are so many things I wish I had written down. I need to figure out a system to get these things written down before I forget them!

Here is what I can remember from recent days.

My mom wrote this on Facebook about Little Bug today at lunch:

Little Bug is a funny girl! She asked for a peanut butter spoon just before lunch. I told her to eat her lunch then she could have one. So when she was done she asked again for a peanut butter spoon. I said ok. I turned around to get the jar and when I turned back she had her tongue sticking way out. I asked, "What are you doing?”. She replied, "Ready to wick (lick) my peanut butter soon (spoon)!" I still had to get a spoon, open the jar and get the peanut butter out. She kept her tongue ready the whole time.

As we were leaving my parents’ house that same night Little Bug said from the backseat:

Goodbye, everyone! I will miss you! Don’t forget me!

A conversation between Little Bug and me as I was putting her to bed one night:
 
She said, "Mommy, I want you to get me a sled so I can go sledding with Grandpa."
 
Then I told her, "But we don't have any snow here! Where are you going to get snow?"
 
I asked her "Does Uncle have snow?"
 
She said, "Uncle has snow. I will get on an airplane and zoom up to [state where Uncle is] to see Uncle. [State where Uncle is] is far away so I will have to get on an airplane to go see Uncle. But not now. It is night time now."

We were on a walk to the neighborhood park when suddenly Little Bug says, “But Mommy, my shoe is back der (there)!”

I looked back and her flip flop was lying on the sidewalk about 10 feet back.

I said, “Well, you better run go get it and put it back on!”

She ran back, picked up her flip flop and came back holding the flip flop like a baby, cradled in her arms.

And she was saying to her flip flop, “I will take care of you. Don’t worry!”
