Out of the mouth of Addison

Mommy: Addison lets __________(insert phrase)
Addison: Okie Gokie Mommy

Addison going to get a drink: I'll be right back......don't touch anything!
Mommy: Ummm, ok.

Addison has four princess dolls and was asking me what all of their names are. She could repeat all of them except when it came to Sleeping Beauty, she said 'Shake your booty'. Poor princess.

We quite often pray for Addison to be a good girl and obey mommy and daddy. We also pray for mommy to be patient and understanding. After saying our blessing at dinner one night, she added 'help mommy's patience'. This was after she had been sent to her room for whining and disobeying.

She is so smart and keeps me on my toes. :)

Funny Things......by Addison

I love my little girl.....she makes me laugh, smile, melts my heart, and even at times makes me want to scream. I am constantly learning how to be patient, understanding, and of course how to communicate with a 2 year old. Here are some things that make me smile. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh even when she's being naughty.

When doing puzzles together, Addison likes to pretend she's teaching me. When I put the puzzle piece in the right spot, she says 'good girl mommy'.

Being two and very sassy, we are working on NOT saying 'no mommy', I make her sit in time out until she says 'yes mommy'. So if she really wants something, she will use all of her polite words. When asking for a movie she said 'please sorry yes mommy'.

She giggles when we sing and dance together.

Warning, this is a potty story, and may not be for everyone. Addison started doing her business on the potty one night, then got down to analyze it and said 'it's a HOT DOG!'

On the weekends, Addison usually wakes me up by coming in the bedroom while I'm still in bed, hands me my glasses, grabs my hand, and says 'get up mommy'.

She occasionally says 'Pssssttt, come here mommy' while motioning with her finger.

She gives her dolls, bears, etc. time outs.

She mocks me by grunting and moaning when getting up off the floor, etc. When I ask if she's making fun of mommy, she laughs. :) Even she thinks I'm getting old. haha

When I gave her something she had asked for, she said 'thank you, your welcome mommy'.

A Year Ago....

My dad had surgery a year ago after being diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma cancer. He had all the lymph nodes under his right arm removed, and some tissue on the back of his shoulder/upper back. He has had a long recovery, and some setbacks (including a seizure), but is doing well now. His last blood tests and CT scanned showed NO cancer in his body!! PRAISE GOD! He is feeling a lot better, continues to do exercises, and has started golfing again. If you know my dad, you know not golfing for a year was like torture. hehe We are SO THANKFUL to have my dad with us today. We didn't know last year what to expect, but put our trust in God. Thank you to all that have prayed for my dad and our family through this trial, we appreciate all of you.

Conversation with Adam

I had this little conversation with my nephew Adam(6 years) a couple nights ago.

Me: Do you think we should make a cake or something for Jesus' birthday?

Adam: Why would we do that? Jesus is up in heaven...how would we give it to him? Throw it up in the sky?

Me(chuckling): Ummmm, good point.

I just love the minds of young children.

Family Movie Night

Last week we went to a family movie night at our church. The movie showing was 'UP'. I couldn't tell you much about it, but I didn't go having expectations that I would actually see the movie anyway. Addison enjoyed running around most of the time.

Such a BIG GIRL!
Little stinker stole my popcorn.
My nephew Tommy and his bestest buddy Jackson.

I only managed to get three pictures of the whole night, because I was chasing someone around. It was fun, thanks to all who had a part in putting it together.
