I have officially entered the land of toddlerhood.
-Almost every word the little babe says is, "No".
"Do you want your shoes on or off?" - "No."
"Did you poop?" - "No." (This is said when it is very obvious to my sense of smell that she has.)
"Am I your Mom?" - "N..Yes."
It is the automatic response even if I don't ask a question! Just stating an obvious fact will elicit the two letter response. "The sky is very blue today." - "No."
-I have found acorns in my pockets and a piece of wooden birthday cake in my purse.
-Our cabinets, windowsills, and walls have officially been graffitied with pencil and pen. Granted it is a bit confusing when her Father hands her a carpenter's pencil and a piece of wood, then I tell her to not draw on anything except paper. Or just the piece of wood that your Dad gave you, but not the wooden windowsill.
-If I am missing one of my kitchen utensils, I have to go looking in one of her "bah-bahs" - her bags. She is half packrat, half bag lady, carrying a collection of miscellaneous household items and toys around the house with great purpose. She then tells me "bye-bye" - who knows where she is going! A recent examination revealed the following (this is not a complete list): one dog bone, one tape measure, one pacifier, one dog chewed book, one issue of Outside magazine, one large piece of coal (weighing about 2 pounds), small pieces from her new wooden birthday cake set, a hole punch, and some change.
-Pardon the mention of bodily functions here, but I changed a diaper this week that had bits of crayon in it. It took me several minutes to figure out what it was!
-Gone is the baby with the adventurous palate who ate quinoa, avocados, and mashed sweet potato. Now her diet consists of chocolate chips, tortilla chips, pita chips (at least those are homemade), and cheese. On a good day she'll consume multiple bowls of yogurt and applesauce. At least red raspberries are always a go.
She drives me crazy, but she is my one and only cheesy little babe!
(this is not my normal smile - we were both being "cheesy")
