My daughter is currently arguing with her stuffed animals and chastising them for not sharing...then praising them when they finally come around. She's also randomly laughing at what are, evidently, jokes she's making up.

Haha, I heard Mia chastising Jack the other day.

You. Don't. Say. No. To. ME.

The other day, Hannah was playing in the living room and decided she wanted to pretend that we were playing at Smash's house with the cat. My daughter favors weird games.

Hannah: "Ok Mama, you be you, and I'll be the cat."
Me: "Ok, hello kitty cat, how are you?"
Hannah: "No, no, you call me from upstairs, you tell me to come down."
Me: "Oh, ok, sorry. Umm, kitty cat? Come downstairs and play!"
Hannah: "No, no, you're doing it wrong. You be the cat, and I'll be the Mommy, and I'll show you."
Me: "Oh...ok. Umm, meow meow meow"
Hannah: "KITTY! YOU. GET. DOWN. HERE. RIGHT. NOW!"

:/

Training her early.

Today she told Daddy that she knows everything...because she's a girl.

Yay!

Aww, cute. I apparently used to be into the whole impersonating the cats thing when I was younger.

Pretty soon she'll yell at Kitty for trying to eat her pot pie.

I usually just use the baby monitor to listen to TV when I'm sitting on the crapper. If something's wrong with Thom I can hear him crying across the apartment through closed doors.

A baby monitor would have just made Noah THAT MUCH LOUDER.

Mine can be loud, but mostly she mutters to herself like Gollum. I need to be sure she's not up there plotting my demise with her teddy bear army.

I don't need one either. My two can shriek like banshees. Lately they like to play nicely for about 5 minutes, then someone kicks someone, then comes hair pulling, then more kicking, then pushing, then finally biting and pinching and screaming. Smiley: disappointed

Last week she was being bathed when she blurts out this joke:

"Where does the sheep get its hair cut?"

At the Baa-baa shop!

I've had to laugh at this joke about 20 times so far.

Lately my niece is cracking me up. She's such a little grown-up. In the morning, she lays out her brother's clothes for him, then she wakes him up for school and tells him how much time he has to get ready.

The other day at the ice cream shop, she chastised him for always getting chocolate, saying that he "bored her to death" and that he had to "try new things", and that my parents should make him get something else.

She's five.

I don't have to worry about Noah plotting against me. Lately, what I have to worry about is whether he's going to dismantle the house while I'm awake or sleeping.

Oh, and he's all boy - he's one HUGE bruise, covered in some scratches. This is mostly due to him climbing around the house, trying to dismantle it. Oh, and some football. I'm waiting for someone to call DHS on me Smiley: lol

Hahaha. My family thought a standard baby monitor wasn't good enough, so they sprung for a video monitor for Charmaine. My favorite moment? When she realized there was a camera, picked it up and looked right into it and started yelling at us to go get her. Ray's favorite moment? When she pretended that a teddy bear was asking her to marry it and she told it "I can't marry you! I'm marrying my daddy and mommy's sleeping in the garage!"
