More Funny Things...

Here are more funny (and cute) things Addie has said and done in the past month or so...

Her favorite thing to say right now is, "it's kind of like". It is used in a coversation at least once a day. For example:

One night, we were driving home and there was a public bus (they look similar to our light rail/TRAX cars) in front of us. The conversation went something like this:
Addie: Look Mom, it's a train!
Me: No, it's a bus.
Addie: It's kind of like a train.
Me: Yes, it does look kind of like the train we rode on the other night but it's a bus.

Another night, we were at the gas station and Clay went inside to get something. While inside, another car pulled up and some guys were filling up.
Addie: Mom, is that Daddy's friend?
Me: No, it's just a guy getting gas in his car.
Addie: I think it's kind of like Daddy's friend.

The other day, my Grandma (knowing that she likes to frequently tell people she's 14 when asked her age), asked her if she was 14. Addie looked at her like she was silly and said, "No, I'm Addie!"

Whenever Addie is grumpy in the morning and I'm tired of hearing about it, I ask her if she needs to go back to bed. Of course, she always says no! The other morning, we needed her to take a bath and she was putting up a real fight. While Clay was getting the tub ready, I was holding her and she was crying. All of a sudden she looked up at me and said through her sobs, "I go back to bed". Of course, as soon as we headed back into her room, she didn't really want to go back to bed.

She loves to be flipped upside down, or bend over and look through her legs. According to Addie, it's "upside up" not upside down (even when she's been corrected multiple times)!

The other night, Addie was having a hard time falling asleep. I had been in multiple times to make sure she didn't have a poopy diaper or something else was wrong. Each time I'd gone in, I'd hold her but she just wanted to talk my ear off so I'd put her back. The last time I went in she was talking to me and the conversation was too cute for me not to record.
Addie: I'm not little.
Me: Oh, are you a big girl then?
Addie: No, mommy is big.
Me: Oh, are you a little girl then?
Addie: No, I'm not little, I'm Addie!

She has finally figured out how to sign "I Love You" in sign language. She is doing pretty good with it. I tried to get a picture of her doing it but of course, each time I tried to get a picture, she wouldn't do it very good. This is the best picture I could get!



We are starting to think a little more about potty training Addie and some recent events have helped keep us on that path. She showed some interest in it a few months back and so we have a little potty that we keep out upstairs. She likes to go sit on it and wipe herself but she's never actually gone in the potty.

The day after Christmas, I had some friends over for lunch and Addie disappeared. I found her in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet lid with her diaper and pants off! That was the first time she'd ever done that. Clay took her upstairs to sit on the potty but it went just as all other attempts go. Nothing.

The next day, as I was getting her ready, I opened up the Elmo panties she got in her stocking for Christmas. She thought they were great and after trying a couple of pairs on, she picked a pair to wear over her diaper.

A few days after that, she went upstairs to play with something in her room. All of a sudden, we realized it was very quiet up there and it didn't sound like she was in her room. I went up to check on her and I found her in my room with her pants off, trying on her Elmo panties.



Maybe it's time to try a little harder. She looks so cute with her little panties on!

That's all for now....
