Here's a quick stream-of-consciousness post about some of the precious things my precious girl has been saying and doing lately...
- "Ipsy Ipsy Spider Water Out" = Itsy Bitsy Spider
- "Hosiple" = Hospital (where Daddy works)
- "Zizzerz" = Scissors
- "A up in bed" instead of just a bed
- Dancing Mouse = Angelina Ballerina, which is a current FAVE show
- Dancing People = Dancing with the Stars, another current FAVE
- She would love to watch episodes of DWTS ALL DAY if I'd let her. She dances along with them and is getting to know the routines surprisingly well. Unfortunately, she also knows everything they say disturbingly well. ("Oh my God, the difference!" is a favorite thing to shout, as is "Match it!" from a Wal-Mart commercial in the middle of one episode.)
- We have about 5 DWTS episodes on the DVR. She identifies each one by the color of Brooke Burke's dresses.
- I've been trying to wean her from DWTS to something slightly more age-appropriate - The Fresh Beat Band. It's her new addiction.
- If you can't tell, she has become quite the little dancer. She's even started taking a little dance class for 2-year-olds. It's so chaotic - and adorable!!
- She is quite opinionated about her wardrobe...and has her own style. :) Mostly, she has no interest in wearing anything that isn't a dress...the twirlier the better. She is a ballerina, after all.
- She LOVES to wear sunglasses. She actually often will throw an all-out fit if I try to get her to leave a building before she can get her sunglasses on her face. Can you say "diva?" Unfortunately, she can.
- She continually surprises us with random words she can read.
- She can find Texas, Tennessee, Kansas, Florida and Arizona on a map (well, at least on her map). We're still working on South Dakota and Missouri. She also knows all the family members who live in each state. That might have something to do with the fact that she asks me "Mommy, where is (family member's name)?" about 49,823 times each day. I actually got a little Melissa & Doug map so I could give her something to look at and - hopefully - help me give her a helpful answer about 20,000 of those times. :)
- She also is quite a little fish. We've tried to go to the pool as much as possible this summer. It's gotten harder lately, since the weeks of 100+ temps have turned our neighborhood pool into a bath. She does love to be in the water!
She's growing so fast! It's hard to keep up with her. She really is growing into the sweetest girl. She gives awesome hugs right now and (overall) is so polite. It kinda cracks me up. We went to a neighbor's for ice cream last weekend and she thanked their dog for the ice cream. :)
Love that girl!
