I've been keeping a Jelly Book for three years now, documenting all the things Gianna says and does that I don't want to forget. Here's my Fall 2011 entry:

Anyhoo, one day a preview of the show came on Nick Jr. and she says to me,

I know lots of folks like the kids show Yo Gabba Gabba. I, however, am not one of them. The silliness is excessive and it just annoys me to no end. (Not to mention the fact that the one episode she saw was about the tooth fairy which caused to be terrified that 1) her teeth were going to one day fall out and 2) someone was going to come into her room at night while she was sleeping and reach under her pillow and take them. Lovely.
Anyhoo, one day a preview of the show came on Nick Jr. and she says to me,
"Okay Mommy, I know you do not care for Yo Gabba Gabba, but I DO care for Yo Gabba Gabba. Do you think we can work something out?"
She says she wants to a doctor but, we just may have an attorney on our hands, folks.

We got Gianna got some cute little brown expensive Mary Janes for really cheap. This is the conversation that happened after she put them on.
G: Mommy these shoes don't fit.
Me: Are they too big or too small.
G: Ummm...too small.
Me: (checking the fit) Gianna, look at all this room for your toes.
G: Yeah, well - Mommy (pause) I just don't really like them.
Me: Gianna these are so cute.
G: Mommy, they look like Santa shoes!
Me: Hahahahaha

Often when she's frustrated, disappointed or angry she'll say:
"Oh, this is just impossible!"
* * * * * * * * * *
Me: Gianna, you don't like that cookie? (after she took one bite)
G: No Mommy, I'm not a big fan.

I haven't really introduced the concept of a Christmas list or a letter to Santa - just because I don't want the whole focus to be about 'getting.' Well, a precious 11 year old friend filled her in today and asked her what she was going to ask Santa to bring her. She quickly replied,
"A Barbie Jeep and some Christmas Eggs."
Hmm. We may need a little remediation on holiday symbols.

I was rinsing the shampoo out of her hair and she said,
"Ahhhh.....easy as pie."

Lately when I give her something Gianna replies,
"Thank you, your majesty."
(And no, I didn't train her to say that...nor do I correct her! :)
Those are great! Thanks for sharing, Maria.
