Our Comedian

Ashley is full of personality and lately we've noticed how she will intentionally do something in hopes of making us laugh. Unfortunately I haven't been that great about keeping up with recording them but here's one that happened this afternoon while at a friends house.

She was outside and came to the open sliding door to tell me she was poopy. (yes potty training is coming soon) I told her okay come in so I can change her. I look back to see why she's not coming in while I dug around for a diaper in my purse. She sees me looking and pushes her face and body against the glass of the door and says, "I can't get in!"

Nap time resistant strategy

After learning about bugs this morning I decided to use it as a way to get Ashley upstairs for naptime. I asked her what bug she was going to be and how she was going to get upstairs. She decided on a caterpillar so she could slowly crawl up the stairs. Well smart mommy decided to be a bird and try to eat the caterpillar. After giggles of delight and making no progress toward the stairs the caterpillar was caught. Some how after that we did make it half way upstairs before my caterpillar decided it was her turn to be a bird, so like a good mom would do I got on my hands and knees and let the bird chase me the rest of the way to her room. Now this is where the student outsmarts the teacher. We get in her room the bird eats the caterpillar. The bird goes "Hmph" and walks out the bedroom door back down the hallway with a my job is done attitude leaving the caterpillar/mom wondering when did she get so smart? Of course I won, she's now in bed asleep after singing ladybug songs and tucking her in with only the butterfly blanket.

Belly Noises

Most people when hungry say that their stomach is growling. Not Ashley her belly grumbles. When she's hungry she'll come over to you and say, "My belly grumbling." When she has had enough she says, "I'm done my belly not grumbling anymore"

Little Interior Decorator

I added vinyl letters to the girls bathroom mirror and the helped put it up and Ashley was cute I had to grab a picture.

The girls bathroom is princess theme and the poem that's on the mirror reads:

I am a daughter of royal birth. My spirit was born on the courts on high. My Father in Heave in king of the earth. Daughter beloved a princess am I.

I thought it'd be a nice reminder each morning while getting ready for the day. The like me to read it to them and soon they will have it memorized and hopefully internalized.

Upgrading

Ashley has upgraded her boxes to climb in. She was happily playing in here with Little People.

Little Lady

And no I'm not referring to Ashley but what she calls ME! It's too cute though. She ran into my room one morning while I was getting ready saying, "Little Lady, Little Lady come with me" She just now came to me and said, "Little Lady, I can't find the baby blanket" She says it in this ubber cute little girl talk. Oh I love you Ashley!
