Lilli's Little's

She likes to put her blankets in front of her bedroom door and sleep there.

She's convinced that there's a dragon in target, and tells me she hears him any time we go in or even drive by there. (She's not scared of him though, she thinks it's pretty fun!) 

She actually LOVES target because she gets a sticker. She never forgets to ask for one! She didn't get one once, as as we were walking away she said "Alwight. I get sticker later." Obviously, we tuned back and got her one!

She's at that stage where she'll try to say something, but it comes out as terrible, terrible swear words... I won't put the stories on here, but I must admit that I find them rather funny.

Chocolate covered pretzels are her favorite snacks.

We've started potty training, and have had zero success. She tells us when she has to poo, and when we ask her if she wants to go on the potty, she FREAKS and refuses to do it. As far as pee- pee goes, she'll go in her diaper and then immediately tell me she has to go potty.

Other wise she loves the potty. Here's how it goes: "Mommy I need go potty". So she'll go into the bathroom, lift the lid & sit down. I'll ask her if she should take her pants off first, "alwight" she says, stands up, gets her pants off, sits back down. She'll sit for a minute or two, sometimes she go "psssss" and giggle, or say "I pushing, I pushing", and then ask for toilet paper. She wipes, stands up, climbs up on her potty and gets her hands washed. 
{Sorry for all the potty talk}

If you use a cookie cutter to cut her sandwiches, she will devour them-- but she has to pick the shape.

She doesn't take naps anymore, but we still put her in her room every day for "quiet time", which is beneficial for all of us!

She loves to jump, and usually does so instead of walking or running

When she doesn't want to do something, she very dramatically says that she can't. For example: I CAN'T sleep mommy!! I CAN'T do it!

She has a great imagination, but can also be very literal sometimes.

For weeks she asked us for "more bore", and we could not figure out what it meant. I asked her what it tasted like: "YUMMY!" Cason asked her what it looked like: "FOOD!". We finally found out that it means granola bar.

She's very good at remembering who has given her what, even if it was given to her months ago.

She won't let me take naps. If I try she says "wake up, mommy, wake up!" over and over again, and pinches my nose.

She loves to watch Mickey Mouse, and tell you exactly what' going to happen before it happens.

She still loves to organize and clean things, especially at stores.

Lilli's Little's

She calls Santa "HO-HO"

She's Eating!!!! The other night she ate an entire taco, and a whole pancake the next morning for breakfast.

Whenever she sees Christmas lights, she says "oh! Cwismas!!"



Lately she loves everything. "I love sheep!" "I love movie!", "I love remote!", etc.

Her favorite movie is Mickey's Christmas Carol. She calls Scrooge "Professor Duck"

We went to the distribution center to buy new underwear, and the entire time, she was wandering through the ails saying "diapers!! wipes!!!" It was pretty funny.

We were driving with her grandpa Dotson, and he made a sudden turn and she said "Phew! We made it."

Lilli's Little's

I sometimes have no idea where she learns things. A few weeks ago, we were sitting together, each with a glass of water, when she says "Cheers!" and clinks her glass to mine. What? Where did that come from???

Her favorite game is hide and seek or "Where'd ya go???" She hides in the same places dozens of times a day and says "Were'd ya go? Where'd ya go" and laughs and laughs. (She was killing me in Old Navy the other day, hiding with her head behind all the coats!)

She LOVES Spider Man.

She hates wearing skirts/ dresses.

She picks her nose looking for "nose candy"

We have this conversation several times a day:
Lilli: I poop!!!
Me: No you didn't
Lilli: I toot!!!!
Me: You did?? Excuse you.
Lilli: I PEE-PEE!!!!
Me: ok. good for you.
Did I mention she especially likes to do this in public?

She's great at helping me clean up, and even better at singing the song. "Clean up, clean up, evybody share".

Her favorite book is the toy catalogue from Toys R Us.

She's scared of Santa Claus.

She loves to throw away garbage and help me unload the dishwasher.

Lately she wants to sleep with her lights on. I accidently woke her up one morning while getting ready for work and she started screaming for me to turn her light on. As soon as I did, she went right back to sleep.

She likes to "slide" down the stairs on her tummy.

She likes all doors to be closed, at all times.

8 Pounds 4 Ounces, 19 inches

Love you baby!!

Halloween

I'm finally getting around to posting about Halloween!!


My mom bought this "Pumpkin Fairy" costume for her that she wore during the day. 




She was so excited to go trick or treating, and had so much fun. We never actually got her to say "trick or treat", but she would occasionally say "More candy!!" (not in a demanding way, but in a "I can't believe there's more candy" kind of way).



She got pretty scared by some of the houses and some of the other kids, but it was all worth it for candy. At one house she ran as away as fast as she could after getting some candy, yelling "I'm fasting, I'm fasting!!"

Color Pumpkin!

 It's been almost a week, and Lilli is still telling me that she painted a bat on a pumpkin, just like the bear in her halloween book. 

I'm not sure I see a bat, but I'll believe her! 


I thought painting a pumpkin would be a better activity for a 2 year old than carving one. And even though she's been telling me she wants to "Cut it" ever since she saw the neighbors carving theirs, she still had a great time!!


After a quick bath, it was time to "Squish it"... aka, make sugar cookies!


She thought this was really fun too, and loved sneaking bites of the dough!

We didn't end up making very many because we were all getting pretty tired, and Cason only likes his mom's recipe (which I didn't have... plus,  despite what he says, my recipe is just as tasty!) I don't think Lilli even ended up getting one, but she did get frosting,so there was no complaining!

Lilli's Little's

She is obsessed with pumpkins.
She also loves spiders, snakes, ponies, piggies, and cars.

She's had some stranger anxiety lately.
She frequently comes up to me and says "Sing a song?" and then tells me which one to sing. ("Twinkle Star" "Elmo Song", "Car Song", "Popcorn Tree", and "Clap Hands".
She also likes to make up her own songs like "Cat song" (which is mostly a lot of mewing)
She loves, loves, loves, "soda pop" and can down it like no other. It's a problem.
If she asks me for something, and i say no, she'll say "ask daddy?" and run to him to see if he'll say yes.
She's pretty smart, but she still gets things a little mixed up. She coughed a few days ago and said "I poop, bless you!" (maybe "I poop" was supposed to be "a-choo"?, it still would have been wrong though!)
