KISS!

When I went to check on Audrey last night before I headed for bed, she was parallel to the footboard, and lodged right up against it (likely with the best view of those wall letters!). She wasn't at an angle that I would readily move her, so I enlisted Eric's help. When he repositioned her, she yelled,

"KISS!", with eyes still sealed shut.

He rearranged her covers, and I left the room chuckling. Since her request had been ignored, she repeated herself:

"KISS!"

So, of course her daddy gave her a kiss.

I asked Eric when she had started demanding kisses in her sleep.

"I don't know but, I do know what will be on the blog tomorrow!"

Into the pool!

Audrey had fun playing in her little pool this afternoon. The water was c-o-l-d so it took her awhile to decide to sit down, but once she did, she kept saying, "Audrey is having fun!" Her new bathing suit can barely stay up though without the help of a diaper. What on earth are we going to do when she's 100% potty trained??

Wow, that's a low price!

Audrey has taken to the Staples commercial with the guy continually shouting, "Wow, that's a low price." She has even thrown out "Low Price" as a possible option for a baby name...I heard her repeating the commercial about a month ago, and she will say it at seemingly appropriate (but still funny) times. Typically at home or in the car. Though Eric had yet to experience it.

Until their weekly trip to Kroger.

Audrey decided to walk over to various products, point out the price, and yell, "Wow, that's a low price!"

She's been hired by Kroger...

Morning conversation

A: Max threw kitchen toys at school yesterday!

Me: Oh, that's not good. Did he get into trouble?

A: Yeah! He did!

Me: Yes, we shouldn't throw toys. Does Audrey ever get into trouble at school?

(Long pause)

A: Um, noooo. Audrey only gets into trouble at HOME!

A-U-D-R-E-Y

I had fun re-designing Audrey's wall letters for her new room. I hung them over her bed, and she was THRILLED with them.

She walked into her room, and started spelling her name (I think she was actually checking to ensure I had the correct spelling :)

"A-U-D-R-E-Y!"

Little did I know that Audrey would be so excited about her letters, she would have trouble closing her peepers. I mean, she had to lay at the foot of the bed so that she could see her letters as she was trying to fall asleep. All we could hear over the monitor was Audrey spelling her name again and again, and then making the correct sounds for each of the letters. I told Eric I didn't want to take the letters down since they weren't the easiest to hang up (mainly due to my large belly), but she needed to get to sleep.

"Well, that's what we get for teaching Audrey her letters."

Point well taken.

Eric and I went to check on her before we went to bed a few hours later, and she had fallen asleep looking up at her letters. I asked him to turn her around so we could cover her up. As soon as he started to pick her up, she got really, really mad:

"NOOOOO! I want to see my letters! NOOOOOO!"

We couldn't stop laughing. How on earth does she have that kind of a mindset when she first wakes up?

So, Audrey now sleeps at the foot of the bed, so she can get a good look at her wall letters. I must have done a *really* good job with that project!

Audrey announced at lunch the other day:

"Audrey is soooooo exhausted!"

I have no idea where she hears such things...

Parental Qualifications

While I was getting Audrey dressed into her pajamas last night, we were whispering sweet nothings to each other:

Me: How much does mommy love you?

Audrey: Lots and lots! And daddy loves me, too.

Me: And I like you a lot, too!

Audrey: No, Audrey likes daddy. No, I mean Audrey likes the scale (yes, I was getting her dressed near the bathroom scale).

Me: (with a sad face) But the scale doesn't take care of you. Mommy and daddy do.

Audrey: No, the scale doesn't take care of Audrey. Silly! The scale doesn't have hands!
