*before asking my next question I reached in the water and pulled out a flute, that fills with water to make different sound, I took a deep breath and let it rip.
Ava- STOP extending her arm waving it at me…CUT IT OUT!
Momma – Did she just tell me to cut it out? I holler for her Daddy and when he comes in I said “Your daughter just old me to CUT IT OUT!” His eyes widen, laughs and I say “where did she learn that?” *half laughing* he replys “JOEY” and walks away…
Ava- takes a small toy fishing pole holding it to her mouth, pretends to whistle and laughs saying I Miss.Hannigan….I love u Hannigan continues to crack herself up.
*Not only has my child now told me to CUT IT OUT but now she is impersonating a drunk from the movie Annie…it was pretty cute though.
