Things Kids Say

Conversation I had with my two-year-old while changing her diaper this morning:

Me:  Ewwww, wet yucky diaper!  (Trying to get her intersted in potty training).

Bri: Diaper hurts...Booty hurts!

Me: You're booty hurts?  What happened?

Bri: Tiss it!! (Kiss it!)

Me: Uh, no.

Say What?

Bri's vocabulary has been rapidly expanding in the past month or so.  The only time she is ever quiet is when she sleeps or when she's watching a movie.  Her favorite movie right now is Beauty and the Beast, or Booty Beese as she calls it. Here are some other cute pronunciations she has developed lately. 

• Brianna - Beenanna


• Cracker - tata


• Yellow - yeyow


• Blue - bu


• Bummer - bumma


• Huckle - huttle


• Diaper - diapo


• Yucky - yuty


• Outside - outsize


• PJs - padas

 

Splish-Splash, I Was Takin’ A Bath?

Bri loves her baths, or “bas,” as she calls them.  She can’t strip down fast enough when it’s time to get into the tub.  She has a blast with the bubbles, the cups and the bath toys.  The only drawback is getting her hair washed.  Something about water in her hair triggers wailing and uncontrollable thrashing.  I have yet to figure out the cause of this.  But I digress.

This morning was a particularly whiny morning.  Nothing was making her happy.  She wouldn’t eat much, didn’t want to play with her toys and it was too early for a nap.  So when she followed me into the bathroom, whining, I told her to stop, use her words and tell me what she wanted.  She proceeded to point at the bathtub and say, “Bas, pease!” in the most adorable, pleading tone.  I told her it wasn’t bath-time yet.  She said, “No, bas, pease!!”  When she started trying to climb into the tub on her own, I gave in and lifter her over the edge.  She was THRILLED.  The child plopped onto her bottom, pulled out the bath toys and played in the dry bathtub, fully clothed, for an hour on her own.  I really thought she would want to get out when I left the bathroom, but she didn’t. She sat in there contentedly chattering and playing and didn’t even seem to realize that I’d left.

 

Pumpkin Patch

I took Bri and Emmie to the pumpkin patch this morning.  It was a first for all three of us and we had a good time.  It would have been more fun if it hadn't been so hot.  It felt like a crisp fall morning when I was dressing everyone and by the time we got there, I realized I'd made a mistake by not putting us all in summer clothing.  Oh well, a lesson learned for next time.

My Girls

My girls are getting so big!  Brianna will be two next month and Emmie is six months!!! Crazy how fast time flies by.

Bri’s personality develops more and more every day. She says “otay day” which means “okey dokey.”  She says “uh-oh” ALL THE TIME. Whenever she does something she is proud of or excited about, she claps her hands and yells, “YAAYY!” She can point to and identify most parts of her body.  She loves to help me unload the dishwasher and is fascinated with closing doors, cabinets, etc. She’s more and more interested in Emmie and does try to help me with caring for her.  It’s so sweet.  Nick and I were commenting the other night that our “baby” has turned into a little girl all of a sudden.  She is so precious and makes me smile every day.  My first little love :)

 Emmie amazes me each day as she grows.  I swear, the child has no separation anxiety whatsoever.  She loves people and lots of activity.  She’ll probably be crawling in the next few weeks and is fascinated with the world around her.  She loves holding onto her chubby little feet and sucking on them!  When I bend over her crib to pick her up, she flails her legs and arms and squeals. I love her so much.

Our Girls

The photo on the left is the first picture of the girls together. Bri is one and a half and I think Emmie just turned three months old. I was so thrilled when I took it because they were both smiling and looked so adorable and happy. Then I looked at it printed up and realized that they are way too dark because I took it in the shade. Wish I hadn't learned that lesson on such a sweet pic.

Little sweetie pie :)
