Our Busy Little World
Apr. 7, 2008 - Little Penny, Not So Small
Well, my little Hannah turned four yesterday - such a big girl! We took her (and all the girls) to a horse show this weekend to celebrate. They just loved it - especially because my kind riding instructor let the girls ride both of her horses! I'll get some pictures up soon, but lately Alyssa has been sleeping in the room with my normal computer and pictures! Anyway, it was all good fun, and Hannah loved her weekend of celebration. In honor of her cuteness, here's yet another conversation (as best as I remember it) with her which made me laugh:
Hannah, crying: Mommy, I was trying to cut out my coloring page pretty, but I ripped it! (a huge trauma to my currently-obsessed-with-coloring-pages girl!)
Mommy: Oh dear, well maybe we can fix it. I'll cut it into an oval. See . . . now it looks like a vignette, those are very pretty.
Hannah, with a serious look of pondering on her face: What's a vignette?
Mommy: Well, a vignette is a kind of faded picture which looks lovely, and it's often shaped like an oval.
Hannah, yet more pondersome (is that a word?): Hmmm, is a vignette like a cognac?
Mommy: Huh? No, honey, I don't think it's like a cognac.
Hannah: I think it is.
Mommy: Well, they both are spelled with a gn (nya) sound, is that what you mean?
Hannah: Umm, yes, that's what I mean.
Mommy: Ok, then yes, a vignette is sort of like a cognac.
Hannah, after pondering for yet another moment and now with a look of epiphany upon her face:
Oh, so then it's like a car wash. . . . .
And out of the room she scooted, holding her vignette/cognac/car wash coloring page!
