Quick Little Stories

She did the diaper on her head thing again, lol! She brought it to me and said ‘on right now’ … (she only gets those pull ups if she goes pee or poo on the potty, she gets them as a reward… so I said she couldn’t put it on now) … so she puts it on her head, Ha!

Diella had a toy phone in the car, I pretended to answer it & tell her that Dora was there and wanted to talk to her… she puts it to her ear and says Hi Dora and Boots! (Boots is another character on the show)… I jus love how her lil mind works, she associates Boots with Dora, automatically… all I said was its Dora, I didn’t say Dora & Boots… cool!

Diella got this new lil baby doll. It’s so cute how she holds it… she like puts it sorta on her hip, (like I might hold Ethan sometimes) and she like holds the back of the head…. How Cute! She’s taking care of her lil baby! :) hehe

We were playing upstairs yesterday and I don’t even remember what we were doing, but Diella goes “cool mommy!” haha, I love when she picks up on phrases & then just uses them correctly out of nowhere!

A long time ago Diella learned about putting her hands in pockets… well she does it all the time now, whether in her jeans or her hoodie, or whatever… she loves to do it & walks around like that… and I dunno why, but I think it makes her look a lil older!

Diella’s manners get better & better every day! Always please, always thank you, always excuse me… and now if she bumps into you, she says sorry, hehe, so cute!

A few times lately, if she sees a letter or a number, instead of just saying the letter or the number, she says “Number three” or “Letter J” (prefixes it with ‘letter’ or ‘number’) I think that’s cool!

Some things that she calls scary, I don’t want her to be scared of them (like cars for example, I mean, it’s hard to balance wanting her to not be AFRAID of them & being cautious, ya know?)… well she says ‘cars, scary’ and I say ‘not scary, just loud’ … this was a few days ago I said that… then just now, on our walk, a car went by & she said ‘loud’ … I’m just glad that she listens & remembers what I say!

Little things I just love that she says, like today 1.) she needed a diaper & I stood up to go get one, and she runs in front of me & goes “Diella get it, Diella get it!” hehe… 2.) A lot of times when she asks me for something, I say “not now, later” ... and today she asked me for something & I said not now… and she goes ‘later’ … again, I love that she listens & remembers! … 3.) she was sittin on the potty & every once in a while I would ask, ‘did you go?’ … and she would say ‘not yet’ … another phrase that I never really taught her, she jus heard it, and applied it, cool!

This morning, I’m sittin on the floor, eatin a bowl of cheerios… she came in from her room with a bunch of scrabble letters in this lil bowl from her play kitchen… she put one in her mouth then offered me one… I said ‘no, those aren’t for your mouth silly, you know that’ … so she takes the bowl of them & dumps in Into My Bowl of Cereal! Grrr! One'a those things that was funny, but I couldnt let her see me laugh.

And right now she’s got this game called WaterWorks, there are cards with pipes on them, some of them have leaks, some of them don’t… so last night we were playing with them, learning what a leak is… so right now, she’s showing me one card at a time, asking me, ‘that a leak?’ , ‘that a leak?’ …. Oh I love this girl!

Haha! And just NOW, she’s singing ‘Happy Birthday to You’ … I have no clue why she is, but I’ve never heard her do it before, so cute!
