Mike and I are watching our nieces Addy and Brynn this weekend while my sister and Adam are in Denver celebrating their anniversary. We've watched the girlies before but its possible that this time around may be the most exhausting. Their energy level is incredible. Brynn is constantly all up in my business, touching everything, and most of the things she wants to touch are dangerous. I don't know how she just happens to find scissors, nail clippers, knives, etc...The girl is drawn to danger and to whatever is "off limits". Addy is pretty obedient but she is starting to reallllllly observe things and to say things that make me LOL and/or squirm. For instance:
A conversation between her and Mike:
Addy: What kind of poddy do you have?
Mike: The same as you!
Addy: No you don't, you have a penup!
(not sure if his "samesies" answer was the best but come on, people without kids just don't know the right answer to these questions.)
Her attempt to "talk shop" as we pass Auto Zone:
"Not too many cars at the car store tonight..."
I hate this one...I knew she was going to say something as an overweight girl walked by our table at dinner...and she sure did say something...
"That girl has a BIG tummy!!!!"
Then later:
"I mean that girl has a really big tummy!" (complete with hand motions and all)
Brynn says equally ridiculous things, but what makes her most adorable is that most of the weird stuff has been said while she is sitting on the toilet and I am pleading with her to pee.
"I love all people."
Bathroom negotiation at Panda Express:
Brynn: "I want some fried rice!!!!"
Me: "If you pee, I will buy you some fried rice."
Brynn: "Sounds like a deal!"
I thought I had successfully put her to bed about an hour ago, and all of the sudden she comes flying down the stairs saying, "Hey-rrrroooo!!!!"
But no matter how exhausting these girlies are, I am obsessed with them. They are the light of my life!!!
Night night!
