her words

A couple years ago, I was frustrated with my toddler who had no words.  It was maddening to not know what he needed or felt like or thought.  Now, I have a very vocal two-year-old, and sometimes knowing the mind of a toddler can be just as....well, interesting.

For example:

Today she told me my bottom looks like a pizza.  Let's hope she meant 'thin crust' and 'personal size'.

One of Lea's favorite phrases is "I don't know!" used after questions like, "Why did you dump sand in the car?" and "What happened to all 5 pairs of your shoes?"

Another favorite is when I call to her from another room, "Leeeeeea, what are you doooooing?" and her response is, "I making a mess!" (in the same sing-song way I called to her, of course).

She loves to argue.  Loves it.  Sometimes, she argues with herself.

She tells me she's stinky, demands everything be PINK (already!) and thinks she owns the iPad.

Lucky for me, all this craziness is also mingled with my girl who can count to ten, say her ABCs, sings all day, says "I love you" and "Oh, sorry!", who thinks every building is a temple and loves to say, "I see the temple, mom!"; my girl who 'helps' me read books, still loves naptime, asks to be rocked, and likes to show off her dance moves.

Lea on her birthday!  Happy #2!
Love this little thing!
