harder than the other one.
this is harper a year ago. she didn't know i was taping her.
several reasons this is funny to me
1. she's a major chatterbox. wonder where she got that. hmmm.
2. where in the WORLD did she get the idea that mommies talk on the phone all day? at this point i talked to my mom on the phone, maybe once a week. i actually HATE talking on the phone.
3. she says "call phone" instead of cell phone. HEEE!
4. stating the obvious here, but i've neverevereverever talked to her daddy like that on the phone. ever. wonder if she saw someone do this at school or something....i never figured it out, but it still makes me laugh until i'm teary-eyed every single time i watch it.
5. could she possibly have a bigger personality? gah. never a dull moment.

she's a nut.
happy thursday!

So funny!! She sounds just like my 2 (almost 3) year old! Its funny when they pick something up and you haven't a clue where it comes from!!
Posted by: Erin B | 12/09/2010 at 09:25 AM
Of ALL the things she could have said, I never expected to hear any of that!
How hysterical!
Posted by: krys72599 | 12/09/2010 at 09:29 AM
"Mom, I mean Older Kid." That was too funny! I'm sure it's takes time that you don't have but I appreciate the continual blog updates. :-) Hope all is well!
Posted by: EvelynB | 12/09/2010 at 09:40 AM
1. I love how she yelled when talking in the phone... the kids I babysit do that. :)
2. "Doesn't he know what I'm going through" hahahaha I love her soo much! She says the best things ever!
I can't wait till you get twin dialogue up here, it's going to be like Little Women... and amazing!
Posted by: Samantha | 12/09/2010 at 09:43 AM
Ya think she has a flair for the dramatics?
O.M.G. that was hysterical!

LOL! She is pure comedy. You should definitely consider acting classes for her. She's a natural!
Posted by: DondreaB | 12/09/2010 at 12:51 PM
Too Funny!! Both my girls are like that! My 8 y/o use to use her hand as her phone!!
Posted by: Kim | 12/09/2010 at 12:56 PM
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! My kids are all gathered around the computer and we are laughing hysterically!! How could one little girl have so much personality??! So I am just wondering...does the drama gene come from Mommy or Daddy?:) She is the cutest, I don't know how you get anything done- I would just want to sit and listen to her all.day.long. :)
Posted by: Patti | 12/09/2010 at 01:00 PM
"And I'm really frustrated with him. Why is he so mean to me? He just doesn't know what I've been through!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...this made my day, seriously...thanks for sharing! I feel like I should pay you for therapy or something...has cheered me right up! Could she be more adorable?!
Posted by: Stephanie Baxter | 12/09/2010 at 01:02 PM
hehehe i love Sadie's laugh at the end.
Posted by: Debbie | 12/09/2010 at 01:02 PM
Oh dear god - that's was so funny 'doesn't he know what I've been through' are you sure this isn't how you talk!!! And (sorry this is such an 'English' thing to say), but her accent just makes it for me! By the way my four year old (boy) was rather taken with Miss Harper - maybe the 'treat em mean keep em keen' way is gonna work for her!
Posted by: Katherine | 12/09/2010 at 01:02 PM
Laugh out loud funny! She is so dramatic -- I thought my Chloe was a drama queen, but Harper takes the cake. "Doesn't he know what I'm going through?" hahahahaha Oh, and all the eye rolling. Too much! Thanks for the laughs!!
Posted by: Bree | 12/09/2010 at 01:13 PM
LOL...that is hilarious!!
my 2 yr. old boy was standing next to me while i watched it and he just kept saying "she funny...she funny".
where in the world do kids come up with some of the stuff they say?!
Posted by: Kelly R | 12/09/2010 at 01:19 PM
Oh my goodness! You should send that into the Funniest Videos show. You could win some serious $$$. Love the part where she said "he doesn't know what I am going through," I near about peed my pants.
Posted by: Karla | 12/09/2010 at 01:56 PM
Oh my gosh....that was SO funny!!! You are going to be so entertained when she really has boyfriends, lol....at least you know she won't be taking any crap! Her cuteness kills me :)
Posted by: Amber | 12/09/2010 at 02:15 PM
Oh, could she be any cuter??? I was cracking UP, she is such a riot. Talk about personality! :)
Posted by: Amy Coose | 12/09/2010 at 02:46 PM
That's just great! Something that you can cherish as she gets older.
Posted by: Chastity | 12/09/2010 at 02:56 PM

Posted by: Leslie | 12/09/2010 at 09:06 PM
That is hilarious. She definitely does have a big personality. I especially love the animated hand gestures as she talks. So funny.
Posted by: Erin R. | 12/09/2010 at 09:55 PM
that was fabulous. my favorite: "i'm so frustrating with him." i think that's how it went ;) reminds me to pull out our video camera more often. those are fabulous memories! (and i don't know how you were keeping a straight face, much less a still camera!)
Posted by: Kimber-Leigh | 12/09/2010 at 10:34 PM

Frustrated and annoyed already? At 4? Boy, she is in for a big surprise when she's 16. I remember feeling the same way with my dad. And now sometimes with my WONDERFUL husband. Love it!!! She is a hoot.
Posted by: Kellie | 12/10/2010 at 09:44 AM
