Anya Stories

Anya always puts the word 'can't' in for don't, so we get some funny things from her. For example, the other day when I saw Anya drawing on her blocks, I said, "Anya, draw on paper!"  Anya responded, "I can't like paper." At dinner I told Anya to drink her milk and she said, "I can't want it."

Last Thursday, while we were walking Adam to kindergarten, Anya noticed the leaves being blown off the trees. Anya looked up at me, and it a very sad voice said, "Mom, they are falling off. Mom, they are dying."

John got some really good chocolate for his birthday that he has been sharing with everyone. Most of the kids like the milk chocolate the best. John asked Anya if she wanted to taste the milk chocolate or the dark chocolate and Anya said, "dark chocolate!" Surprised, John gave her a taste of both and asked which one she wanted more of. Anya promptly responded, "dark chocolate."

Anya is my 2 year old who refuses to potty train, however, she does not wet the bed anymore. Anya wakes up dry every morning and usually will say that she has to go potty. But during the day, Anya refuses to go to the bathroom in anything but a diaper.
