What a fun night!

These days little Jenna makes us laugh with the things she says and does. Her vocabulary gets larger everyday and it is so much fun to listen to. Last night there were multiple things that made us laugh....

We had our first bubble bath and it was early in the evening since she wore her spaghetti dinner. (While a first bubble bath at almost 2 might be crazy for some, I just hadn't wanted to expose her to the harsh chemicals in some of the bubble bath solutions and just found one that is non-toxic and natural made by California Baby). She was so excited to have her first bubble bath and kept cheering for her "Bubble Bafe", putting her face in the water and sticking her tongue into the bubbles (another reason I was glad I got the kind I did).

After bath time, Daddy came home from the gym and work and ate his dinner. Jenna cheered him on to eat so they could both eat MONKEY MUNCH!!!! (Jenna cheers for this stuff now. I heard about it on my new favorite show Jon and Kate plus 8. It is Chex mix that is covered in melted chocolate and peanut butter and then tossed in powered sugar.) Jenna and Daddy sat and ate their dessert together. While eating Josh was describing something to me and using hand motions. Next thing we knew, Jenna was imitating her daddy the best she could with both words and motions. It was hilarious!

The funniest thing of the night though was Josh told Jenna he would give her money if she did something (her daddy is always willing to bet money). Jenna screamed out "five dollars!" Where her love of five dollars came from I have no idea, but I remember my niece going through the same phase. Here is how the conversation went:

Jenna: Five dollars!
Mommy: Did you just say five dollars?
Jenna: yes.
Daddy: How much do you need Jenna?
Jenna: Five dollars!
Daddy: What do you need five dollars for?
Jenna: Bubbles.
Daddy: where are you going to buy bubbles?
Jenna: store.

It was the funniest conversation we have had to date!!! A little girl who already likes to shop and knows what she wants to buy. We have joked that we should start paying her a nickel every time she helps feed Haley to learn that she can earn money for doing chores. Never thought this would start so early.

So you have me laughing out loud! Five dollars has a new connotation now-- how cute! She is a riot. I can't wait until football season- we are going to have so much fun! LB
