But OH HOW I LOVE THIS FABULOUS GIRL! She is (almost) always smiling. She is ALWAYS singing--ALWAYS. She sings to herself, she sings to the TV, she sings in the car, she tries to out sing her brother...she sings ALL THE TIME. And the funny thing is that she really can carry a tune. You can tell what song she has in her head as she sings to herself, but her most favorite song is her own P-I-P-E-R sing to the tune on B-I-N-G-O. Thanks for that one Nana!
The other thing she is ALWAYS doing is dancing. Every time she hears music, even just a commercial jingle, she breaks out into full dance mode. She shakes her booty, stomps her feet, and does the best chicken dance you've ever seen. She loves her drum set, her microphone, piano, and anything else she can use to make music. She has a song in her head, dancing in her heart, and keeps me laughing a lot.
She loves to clean, color, and take good care of her babies by giving them regular check-ups.
She is also a FABULOUS fashionista. She loves to get herself dressed in random outfits and wants to wear hats all day long. She's a girl who knows what she likes, and she will let you know if she doesn't! She has a pair of shoes that if I just show them to her, she flings herself on the floor like her world has come to an end. Show her the pair she likes and the tears stop and the giggles start. Like I said, she knows what she likes.
She is a FABULOUS talker. She says "peas" and" TeeToo" (please and thank you), will ask if your "KAAAYYY???" if you look hurt. She says "hapagooday!" as Daddy and brother leave for work/school in the mornings. She loves to drink "juu" and says "Oh-OH" for Owen. She talks constantly and most definitely knows what she is saying...I just wish I did!
She is very hi-tech. She can use the phones, iPad, and knows how to go incognito when illegally playing in her brothers room. She gets super excited and giggly when given the iPad. She knows how to find the different shows she likes and sits just like her brother while watching.
But this girl is also oh-so-naughty.
This is what I get when I tell her to not stand in the tub.
In her short 20 months of life she has put 8 marbles (at the same time) in her mouth, choked on 42 fruit loops, a paci ring, blueberries, a rock, and gold fish. She has eaten charred wood from the fireplace, bugs, crayons, chalk, shiracha sauce (twice!), and probably other things I can't remember. What she WON'T eat is food.
Unless she dug it out of the trash (don't worry, it was on a doily).
She can't be left alone or else she will climb...on anything...
BUSTED!
If I turn my back for a second, there is no telling what I might find when I come around the corner...
Basically, she's like her mama and can't be trusted.
But here is why she is FABULOUSLY NAUGHTY...she climbs on to her chair (back to me, so she's just playing) and tells herself "no-no" and sits down. Then stands up again, tells herself "no-no" and sits down.
She climbs into the kitchen chair in attempts to get on to the table. I tell her NO, and put her down. She does it again, I tell her NO and put her down. She climbs up again, I tell her NO, and swat her leg (not to fret my fellow CPSers, no marks or bruises) and put her down. This time she climbs up, tells herself NO, pats her own leg, and climbs down. I just laugh.
She stands on the couch, I tell her to SIT, she smiles. I tell her to SIT, she smiles. I stand up, she sits, and smiles.
She climbs on to the kitchen table, bites into each apple, puts them back, and walks away.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. This girl is FABULOUS. She makes me laugh all the time, keeps me dancing, and bring such joy to my life and to our family. Her naughtiness is one of the best parts of her sweet little (OK big) personality. Sometimes I just can't stand how much I love her. FABULOUSLY NAUGHTY and all.
This is her personality, captured in one sinlge snapshot. I hope she is always this confident, happy, and just a little bit naughty.
We really are peas on a pod. And I wouldnt have it any other way.
