on a lighter note...

hiba is funny. hilarious, actually. sometimes she knows it, sometimes she doesn't. here are some of her latest quotes...

hiba: mommy, look, there is a c, p, and m.

me: oh yeah?

hiba: yes. say i'm so smart, mommy.

me: hiba, you are such a smart girl.

hiba: no, just say i'm so smart.

me: you're so smart.

hiba: i am, huh?

me: hiba, why did you hit matthias?

hiba: umm...well, because i don't like matthias in me and daddy's house. i don't like him in my house.

me: well, tough luck. he's here to stay.

hiba, in response to dropping an entire bowl of cheerios all over the floor: well, that's a bummer!

jason, to hiba after she went to the bathroom in the toilet: wow, hiba! i'm so proud of you! you are such a big girl!

hiba: now i can play rugby!!!

jason: huh?

hiba: you said i can play rugby when i'm a bigger. i'm a big girl now, so i can play rugby!

hiba: stay still! don't move!! do you understand me?!? do you understand? yes or no???

(this was said to a door that was closing a little bit....)

hiba, to me as i came out of the bathroom: mommy, did you go pee-pee in the potty like hiba does? wow, mommy! you are such a big girl! i am so proud of you! do you want candy?
