Conversations with a 2 yr old

I had the plates for dinner sitting on our island when Lizzy grabbed them. I asked her to put them back and she started crying. Turns out she wanted to set the table with them. This was our conversation:

Me: "Lizzy, you can put them on the table, but be careful. If you drop the plate it will break."

Lizzy: "Yeah, break my toe!"

Hmmm...close enough I guess.

Lizzy found her "Daddy" wood doll, walked it over to me, pulled his legs wide open, and yelled "DADDY PEE ON MOMMY!!" Then fell over laughing histerically.

Oh to be 2...

Setting the Table

Lizzy helped out tonight by setting the table for me. She did everything by herself with direction from me. I'm so excited that she's becoming such a big helper!

This was the final result. And here's a video of her setting it. :)

Grownup Funny Face

What the Stylish Wear....

...when potty training:

A winter hat and Thomas the train underwear.

Is it believable that she picked this outfit out by herself?

Fingerpainting

Lee and I used naptime to paint some pictures (an anniversary activity every other year). Lizzy woke up early and decided to join us.

Did you know finger paint smells good?

She painted the paper a little, but found body paintings more interesting and stylish. (Link)

Overheard...

...at the grocery store:

My slightly exasperated husband: "I can't take Lizzy to the candy aisle. She keeps grabbing everything regardless of price!"

Reasons I love my little one

First off, she can rock any outfit.

Secondly, tonight she was given the 10 minutes to bedtime warning, then asked if she wanted chased. Instead she yelled CLEAN UP, then proceeded to truly cleanup. Toys, trash, and anything left on the floor made it's way quickly into the toy bin.

As Lee prepared to chase her, she ran to the upstairs yelling SLEEP. When asked if she wanted a book to read, she jumped in bed and laid down asking for a paci.

I love this girl. If our next kid isn't this obliging I won't know what to do!!

PS: She had spent a good 45 minutes being chased and tickled prior to this, so she was pretty tired. Still, she rocks. :D
