| Analise wearing mommy's pretties |
It's always fun waking up to my almost two year old. Whether it be her patting on my back yelling, "wake up, mommy! WAKE UP!" Or Waking up and realizing she is playing with something she isn't supposed to and jumping out of bed to get it away from her. It's NEVER boring. She has such a crazy, sweet, mischievous, kind, way to smart for her own good, personality. Her newest thing that she loves doing is washing her hands. She knows how to push the chair up by the kitchen sink, get up on it, turn on the water, get the soap, and wash her hands. She would do this every five minutes if it wasn't for the gate in the kitchen (which I am soooooo thankful for). She knows how to climb up onto just about everything now and NOTHING is safe anymore. Just when I think I finally put something out of her reach so she can't get it she figures out a way to get. This is where the too smart for her own good comes into the picture. She loves anything "pretty" which consists of makeup, jewelry, shoes, clothes and occasionally daddy's ties. So many times I'll be busy doing something and realize everything seems waaaay to quiet. This is when I know she is getting into something. I come into my room and sure enough, there she is, sitting on the floor, her face totally covered in my lipstick. She always looks up at me with those big, sparkly, blue eyes and says, " Mommy, I got pretties!" Yes, I can see that. My poor lipsticks will never be the same. Today I gave her some fruit loops to munch on while I was cleaning in the kitchen and when I went into the living room to check on her I found her trying to "share" her cereal with Anadele (her two month old little sister). Needless to say, Anadele would have been ok with her not sharing in this instance. She knows how to count now and so when she gets into trouble I will always give her a 1-2-3 to obey but now that she knows how to count she just counts with me... lol. Although she does listen in the end it's just hard to stay serious when she just wants to count with me. I love her so much. My favorite time with her is when she crawls up to wherever I am sitting to sit by me, and she gets all snuggly with me, lays her head on my shoulder and says, "Love you mommy." So sweet. Life is never dull or boring with her and I love her and my little peanut Anadele and everyday I get to spend being their mommy.
