sj quotes

Savannah woke in rare form today. It seems she's realized she's been deprived of attention all night while sleeping and suddenly needs to refuel in the first 30 minutes of the day with us.
Also, it seems she's realized she's been deprived of teasing her brother for the past 12 hours while asleep as well and feels the need to make up for that lost time.

We've all been downstairs for less than twenty minutes this morning and already I need a break. Apparently I don't deal well with obnoxious, button pushing, turn a deaf ear to mom, let's see how many times I can make my brother squeal at the breakfast table, goofy, giggly five year olds at 7 o'clock in the morning.

On a more pleasant note, Savannah's been making quite a few off-hand comments lately that have been making me stifle a giggle in her presence. While they're not as entertaining as some of her past quotes, I was beginning to think the majority of SJ quotes were left behind with her three and four year old self. So these five-year-old quotes need to be recorded for posterity...

Mom, can I have blueberries in my yogurt today instead of the wheat germs? I don't really like wheat germs... they're actually Sawyer's favorite you know. You should save all those germs for him.

overheard relaying details of soccer camp to her little brother:
My soccer teacher's name is Miss Cardinal (It's actually Miss Robin... she's done this mixing up of the "red" birds three times in as many days! I think it's hilarious!).
And Sophie's teacher's name is Miss Laura. And then there are lots of other passengers who are in charge too. (and by passengers I think she's meaning Pastors... it's a church run soccer camp and there are a few pastors involved.)

Sawyer, do you know what mosquitoes do? They stick their nose in your skin. They like to sniff your blood.
