As Kelly is fast approaching 3 (3!?!? What's happening to my baby? *sobs*), she is quite the talker. You never know what's going to come out of her mouth. She loves to have long rambling conversations, the likes you've only heard in a mental institution. We'll start out by talking about Boots (from Dora the Explorer for you Nick Jr-less people) and somehow be discussing cows in four sentences flat.
By the way, her current obsession is cows (it used to be bunnies). I don't know why but on our last three trips to the library, I had to quickly find her two cow books before she screamed "COWS!" so loudly that the librarian would have to kick us out. Luckily our library is well stocked in cow books so we should be okay for another month or two. Hopefully the cow fixation will wear off by then and instead we'll be looking for "spotted tree frog" books or something like that.
Here are a few of the choice phrases heard from her recently:
"It's freaking me out!" (my sister-in-law's favorite of Kelly's)
"I are too!" (usually in response to me saying "you aren't suppose to be doing that.")
"Mo-om, you're annoying me!" (seriously, this can start at 2? She was telling me to quit singing, which I'll admit, can be annoying.)
"Damnit!" (Um, my fault. Totally my fault. She does use it in the right context like when she spills her drink or drops a toy. Which, you know, is when I use it. hehe)
"I five!" (her answer to "how old are you?" accompanied by her holding up 5 fingers. Hey at least she can count to 5 right?)
"I want to look at the Yucky Charms box!" (I don't, here ya go kid.)
And the most popular toddler sentence of all time: "I do it!" (Followed by me gritting my teeth as I wait several very long minutes for her to a. put on her socks, b. get out of her carseat, c. pour her own cereal, d. walk up 2 flights of steps, e. oh, you get the picture...)
I'm glad 2-almost-3 year olds don't instant message. I think my "shift+1" keys would have been worn out by now.
