Gloves

We were riding in the car and Addilece wanted her glove on.  I was having trouble reaching all the way into the back to put it on.

Me: Addilece, you don't need it on because we have the heat on.
Addilece: We have the heat on?

*A few minutes pass.*

A: I think he at home.
M: He's in the car with us right now.
A: He in the car?  *Thinks a minute....then cups hands.* I holding him in my hands.  I holding Baby Jesus.  *Few minutes later.*  Mommy, where Jesus feet?

Yesterday I was trying hard to get together a romantic surprise for Tony.  Addilece was doing everything in her power to make that not happen.  Frustrated I said,

"Addilece, I'm trying really hard to this for Daddy. 

She came up patted my back and very sympathetically said,

"It's ok Mommy.  You get it done.  It's ok.  We have time."

Addilece playing with my mixing bowls and spoons...

A: It's my job.
M: It's your job?  Who gave you that job?
A: God.

The Last Name

Addilece: Mommy, where "S"?
Me: "S"? Which "S"?
A: "S".  Where "S"?
Me: You mean "S" and "E"? [sisters] "S" and "E" Gross?
A: No. She not gross.

She's What?

Addilece overheard Tony and I talking about a friend.  Tony told me, "She says she feels terrible and she sounds awful."  The rest of the week Addilece kept saying.  "Ms. D is terrible.  Ms. D is awful."

Phone Converstation

Background Story: On Tuesday night Addilece was babysat by a friend from church.  They have a daughter named Kendall.  Addilece calls her Tendall. 

Overheard while doing laundry:
Hello?  Tendall? 
How are you?
You good?
I come today?
NO?
PEEEEEAAAASSS (Please)
Ok.  I come today.
Bye.

Just making myself pretty

I put Addilece's hair up in pigtails and braided it.  This was the first time I was every able to do this.  She looked adorable and she knew it.  She decided she wanted to do "her makeup".  So I handed her a few make-up items and set her on the bed while I did mine.  She knows that make-up for her is "just pretend".  I turned around and discovered that she thought she would be wearing eye shadow.  She still looked adorable though.

Later I was telling her Daddy I was bummed to not have a camera to capture it.  5 minutes after I got off the phone she said this:
A: I sorry.
M: Your sorry? For what?
A: For camera.

While going to the bathroom:

Daddy you get out.  I need pie-see (privacy).

Babysitting

Addilece has declared herself a "big girl" for quit awhile so the beginning of this conversation baffled me:

Addilece: I a baby.
Me: You're a baby?  I thought you were a big girl.
A: No I a baby.  Dam-ma (grandma) and Damp-pa (grandpa) come babysit me.

Baby Jesus

We were reading Addilece's Bible to her when she came across a picture of Jesus as a baby.  She was very interested in him.  After finding out all about Baby Jesus she declared, "I see him in heaven."

The next day we had this conversation:

Addilece:  Jesus in heaven.
Me: Yes, Jesus is in heaven.
A: I walk Him.
M: Your going to walk WITH Him?  Yeah, I bet you can.
A: No, I walk Him and hold Him, and feed Him.
M: Ohhh, you mean BABY Jesus?
A: Yeah!

Nanas not Nana

I asked Addilce if she wanted Banana's for lunch.  She got all excited saying "Nana for lunch. Nana for lunch."  At lunch time she ask, "Where Nana?  I eat lunch with her."  I had to explain to a very disapointed little girl that she could have BAnanas for lunch but her Nana was not coming for lunch.

Good Momma

The other day I was carrying Addilece around.  She began patting my back and saying , "You a good momma.  You a good momma."

Not My Daddy

Addilece: Mommy, who dat? *points to a picture of Daddy as a kid.*
Me: That's Daddy.
A: Who dat? *still pointing to the same picture.*
M: That's Daddy as a little boy.

We go back and forth with the same question and answer about ten times before Addilece looks up and declares, "Dat not MY Daddy!!!!"

Funny Names

Tony has a few Redneck Comedy DVD's (I'm not sure what their actual names are).  Addilece was looking at the cover and began asking what each of their names where.

Me: That one is Jeff Foxworthy.
Addilece: He's not a fox.

M: That one is Larry the Cable Guy.
A: Da Table Guy? 
M: Yes, do you know what a cable guy is?
A: Not dat.

Wonder where she's heard that before....

The other morning with all of us in the same bed....

Alarm rings.
Tony shuts it off, crawls back into bed and declares, "5 more minutes of cuddling."
Six or seven minutes later Tony says, "It's time to get up now."
Addilece sits straight up in bed, looks at the alarm clock and yells, "No, just two more minutes."

Favorite Words

There are somethings that Addilece says that I find absolutely adorable.

George-es = Gorgeous
Tales = Veggie Tales
Bob damatoe = Bob the Tomatoe
Uh Prob-e = Probably
That my Daddy = That's my Daddy
Tome here = Come here

The Chicken and the Rooster

On a busy busy day....

Me: After this I'm going to run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Addilece: No!
M: No?  How about a bear with its head cut off?
A: Ok. *Thinks a minute.* Probably a rooster.

 The rest of the day she kept saying, "I'm a chicken, mommy.  You do rooster."

Of Course I have It

While in the car....

Me: Addilece do you have your cup?
Addilece: Yes.
M: Where?
A: At home.

That's Better

Addilece and I had gone outside to paint a light.  I had brought a skein of yarn out with me to hang the light from a tree.  I was painting away when I hear Addilece declare:

Addilece: That's better, mommy.
Me *not looking up, still painting*: Is it better?
A: That's better, mommy.
M *still not looking up*: Yeah, it's better.
A: That's better, mommy.

I FINALLY look up to find out that the "better" was the skein of yarn that was now completely unraveled and in a tangled mess on the ground.

Brrrr.....

One morning.....

"Brrr.....Add-ece hot!  Brr....Add-ece hot!"

Little Negotiator

Me: How's my pretty girl?
Addilece: I six.
Tony: No, you're two.
A: I six.
T: No, you're two
A: No, I six.
T: You're two, Addilece.
A: I three.

I NEEEEEED It.

After nap time I asked Addilece if she wanted to get some underwear on.  She told me that she wanted a diaper.  I walked over to her diaper box and turned around to find her hold one of her princess pull-ups (or princesses as we call them).

Me: Addilece, let's put this diaper on.
Addilece: Pin-cess, mommy.  Pin-cess.
M: Those are too expensive, let's put one of these on.
A: Pin-cess.
M: Addilece, those are for when we are out and about.
A: I neeeed it.  I neeed it.  I neeeed it.  I neeeeed it. I neeeed it.  I neeed it.

Learning Something

During our talk after a time out.....

Addilece was having a hard time concentrating because of the buttons on my shirt.  I had repeatedly told her to look at my eyes only to have her look away a split second later.  Finally, I said with more frustration in my vioce, "Addilece, look at my eyes!".

Addilece *looks up*:  "God made buttons."

Well, at least we've got the fact that God made everything down.

A few minutes later I was explaining that when I had told her to sit in time out she had dawled, she had not had fast feet.  She looked up clapped and said "Dill-ji hands" (diligent).

Personality

Someone at the mall play place the other day declared, "Wow she's got a personality."  She sure does!

Oh Dear

Daddy and I were having a converstation at the dinner table about what he would cook if anything happened to me.  He made a list that went something like: hamburgers (twice), pizza, and tacos, plus anything and everything grilled.

Daddy: Isn't that right Addilece.  We will have the same meals every single week.
Addilece *throws head back*: Oh Dear!!!!

Wet

At the park with Daddy....

Addilece: Daddy, up here.  Come up here.
Daddy *after coming up to the top of the play place*: What do you need?
A: Slide.  Slide Daddy.
D: You want Daddy to slide?  You just want me to get all the water off the slide don't you (it was really wet)?  Alright, I'll dry it off for you. 
*Daddy slides down the slide and lands at the bottom VERY wet.*
D: Ok, you can slide down now.
A: No. Add-ece go down steps.  *Starts to climb down steps.*
D: Why won't you slide down?
A: Wet down dere.  (there)

Energy

Addilece has discovered a new word: energy.

She likes to exclaim "Add-ece, ENERGY!!!!!"

She then laughs hard and begins to prove that yes indeed she has a whole LOT of energy.

Right Now

If Addilece wants to do something she will ask for it over and over again.  "Later" is not a good answer for us.  We've taken to doing favorite activities around other daily events to help explain when we will be doing them better.  So if knows that she can watch a "show" (tv) after "night-night time" (nap).

Addilece: Walk, mommy.
Me: Not right now, its too early in the morning.
A: Go on walk, mommy.
M: How about after our snack?  We'll go after snack time.
A (thinks a minute): Eat, mommy

Ho-dy Tow

Tony was driving the back way to a friends house.  He realized at the last second that he was at his turn.  He
quickly pushed hard on the breaks and swung the car around the corner.  From the back Addilece yells.

HO-DY TOW (Holy Cow)!

Grumpy Pants

After nap time....

Me: Are you a grumpy-pants today?
Addilece (wearing a dress) looks at herself.  Thinks for a minute.  Points to her dress and says.  "No pants!  Add-ece's dress."

George-is

Daddy: Your cute.
Addilece: Add-ece tute?  (Addilece cute?)
D: Yes, Addilece is cute.
A (points to me): Mommy tute?
D: Yes, Mommy is cute too.  Mommy is gorgeous.
A: Add-ece george-is (said very matter of factly).

Yeah Right Mom

This morning at breakfast I told Addilece's she need to chew with her mouth closed (it's time to start working on that....right?)

She put her lips together.  Made several funny faces in an attempt to chew with her mouth closed.  She then looked at me and declared, "no, no, no, no, no."  And started chewing with her mouth open again.a

Night-Night Time

For her first birthday Addilece received a Violet Leap Frog Dog.  (Very neat toy by the way).  It talks to her, says her name, plays with her, but most importantly (as in what it is used for most) it sings her to sleep.

The other day she had dumped it in her crib along with a few other toys and told it "night, night."

Violet had hit a button when she fell so it began to talk to her. "Addilece, you want to play?"

Addilece immediately spun around, stuck her finger in the air, and declared. "No! Night-night time."


P.S.  You can blame this one on her Daddy.

How Old?

Me: Addilece are you almost 2?
Addilece: No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Daddy: No?  Are you almost 10?
Addilece: Yes!

Saying Verses

I'm so Funny

From upstairs I hear a "FUNNY" and then a hysterical laugh.  A few minutes later our goofball came down looking like this.

Not Me

Conversation about the spilled bowl of cereal.

Addilece: Cer-ral? Cer-ral?
Me: Did you finish it?
Daddy: No, it was dummed all over.
Me: Addilece, who spilled the cereal?
Addilece: Mommy
Me: I don't think so.
Addilece: Daddy
Daddy: No, I didn't.  Did you?
Addilece: No, Papa.

Stuff

Addilece had just finished a time out....

Me: Addilece, why did you have to sit in a time-out?
Addilece: *silence*
Me: What did you do?
Addilece: Stuff

Smart Girl!

Boy vs. Girl

My sister and her family were visiting for the weekend.  In the morning while everyone was getting ready for church she acquired all three kids in her room (by herself).  She handed both Addilece and Josiah (just turned 2) a hair band.

Addilece stuck her hair band on her wrist.  Held it out.  Looked at it.  And declared. "Princess."

Josiah took his hair band.  Attached it around two fingers.  Fired it.  And declared, "Shoot!"

Welcome

After giving Addilece a snack.

Me: What do you say?
Addilece: Please.
M: And?
A: Stares at me.
M: Attempts to give a hint by signing thank you.
A: WELCOME!

Wish I could of recorded this!

Oppss....Daddy got Caught

I came downstairs this morning and Addilece and I did I typical rountin:

Addilece: "Morn--ing, luv vu (morning, love you)"
Me: "Good morning, love you too."  *Bends down and gives her a kiss.*
Addilece: *Holds up sippy cup.* "MILK, CHOC-IT (chocolate)"
Daddy:  "ADDILECE, you weren't suppose to tell her."

Daddy got busted!

Funny

Addilece handed Daddy the comics and asked him to "read".  As soon has he started she goes "ha, ha.  Funny."

Busted

While I'm doing stuff (cleaning, cooking) I often let Addilece play on our front porch.  However, the rule is she can't go past the bottom step.  Today I had warned her that if she did she would be in a time out.

After having put her in time out once today for getting off the porch I discovered she had wondered off again.  I went to the side of our house and stood at the end of our side walk with my hands on my hips (she was at the other end of the house).

Before she noticed me she came running back towards the porch (I think she was trying to keep from getting caught).  Suddenly she looked up and noticed I was there.  She let out a high pitch squeal, giggled, and took off running the other way.

In my most serious "you better listen NOW" voice I said, "Addilece" and pointed to the ground in front of me.  She started heading back but in the process began shuffling her feet, dropped her shoulders, cocked her head to the side and declared, "Time out." 

Busted!

Everything belongs too...

Addilece is in a stage of recognizing that different things belong to different people.  She loves walking around the house declaring who owns what.  However, I have noticed that typically most things belong to Daddy in her labeling (the flashlight, the computer, boots, the deck of cards). 

Me: Does Mommy have anything?
Addilece (points to shirt I'm hanging up): Shirt.

Well, at least I own something.

Who?

We are potty training.  I had just gotten done reminding Addilece to tell me if you needed to go potty.  This is what she said to herself? me?  I'm not sure which.

*While shaking head no.* "Baby, baby."
(I replied w/ "that's right you're not a baby anymore.")
*Points to self.* "You, you."
*Shakes head yes.* "Me, me."
*Still shaking head yes.* "Add-ece, Add-ece, Add-ece."

Yes, she really thinks of herself as all of those people.

Tay? NO!

When Addilece gets hurt she runs up and tells us "Tay, Tay, Tay!"  (Okay, okay, okay) until we say "Are you okay?"  Then she goes on her happy little way.  The other day somwhere between the transfer out of the store cart and the transfer into the car I accidently hurt her.  She started shaking her head no and saying, "No tay, no tay, no tay."

Bear

Addilece heard the thunder this morning and immediately declared, "BEAR!"

Who Me?

Tony: Addilece, did you pull some of the leaves off this plant?  You know that's off limits.
Addilece: Mommy!
T: Mommy did it?
A: Yeah!
T: No, I don't think Mommy did.
A: Person!!
T: A person did it?
A: Yeah!!!

Siding

Me: "Addilece, we are buying a house today.  We get to go see it tonight!!!"
Addilece: *Thinks for a minute.* "Damp-pa?" (Grandpa)
M: "Yes, Grandpa is going to be there."
A: "Night?"
M: "Yes, you get to see him tonight?"
A: *Pauses again to think* "Siding!!" (Exciting)

Tickles from Granpa

No, It's THIS!

Addilece had been playing with a little figurine (an owl, which I had explained to her) that usually adorns her room (but was down because we are packing).  She had been taking the figurine (which was quit heavy) and dropping on her book.

Me: Addilece, don't drop that.  You need to be nice to your book AND your bird.
Addilece (looks up at me): OWWW, OWWW!! (owl, owl)

Share

Last night Addilece had been enjoying a glass of milk and some cookies with Daddy.  I had grabbed a few cookies right before they had finished and was leafing through some coupons we had received in the mail.  Addilece came up to me and said "share, share."  Thinking she wanted to be cute and look through the paper with me I picked her up.  Immediately she reached for my cookie declaring "share, share." 

Hide-and-Go-Seek

Let's just say.....we're still working on the concept.

 

Sleep-En

This is by no means a humorous post.  It is something I feel I need to journal and remember and I feel like this is the best place to do it....so bare with me.

On Sunday we went to Mrs. Killingsworth's visitation.  None of us had expected that Addilece would even know what was going on so we didn't think much about taking her through there.  When Nana was close to the casket Addilece started saying "sleep-en, sleep-en, sleep-en" and pointing at her.  Realizing it was really starting worry her Nana told her that "She's with Jesus."  She quickly walked away from the casket.  For quit a bit after that Addilece would point to the casket and tell Nana or myself "Jesus."

She really did understand that something wasn't right.  She wanted Mrs. Killingsworth to be "woken up".  I think that she could sense that her body was not like the rest of ours.  I'm glad that we could tell her that she was with Jesus and I'm glad that Addilece understands that to be a good thing.

Fuddy

Fuddy (Funny).  She has got this word down.

After me telling her she was funny, she said "I too fuddy."

She was walking around w/ a blanket over hear head b/c she was "hid-en" and ran into a wall. 
I let out a laugh (that I was trying to hide).
Addilece turns around, "Fuddy???"

Addilece held out her bowl to get some strawberries I was cutting up.  I was able to get two in but right as I was about to put the other two in she moved the bowl.  The strawberries fell to the ground.
A: Lets out a hysterical laugh..."FUDDY, FUDDY, FUDDY"

Ok, You Have It

Addilece had asked for Charms (Lucky Charms) for breakfast (something she has done a lot) but only ate the marshmallows (she has never done this).  We took some of the cereal away but left some and told her she needed to finish it.

After this food battle had lasted a while I knelt down by her seat and told her that she needed to eat the food she asked for.  I said "Can you eat your cereal?" She smiled a sweet smile while vigorously nodding yes.  Then she picked up a handful (at this point I was on cloud nine that  she was going to eat it) and handed to me to eat instead so I could eat it.

Saw-ee

After trying to get on a shirt that needed to be unbuttoned a bit more before being put on:

Addilece: Saw-ee, saw-ee, saw-ee (in whines)
Mommy: Do I need to say sorry?
A: Yes (more whines)
M: I'm sorry!
A: kisses, kisses (holds out forehead fot kisses)

I had just gotten done telling Addilece our emphamis line "use your words, not your whines." and I asked her this:

Mommy: Addilece do you have big words?
Addilece: No
M: Do you have little words?
A: No
M: Do you have medium words?
A: No
M: Do you have medium words?
A: No
M: Do you have anywords?
A: No
M: What words do you have?
A: Just one word!

Coneversations

Our parrot has started doing a little more then parroting:

Daddy (to me):  Honey, you can't judge.
Addilece:  No judge.
~~~~~
Addilece is babbling.
Daddy: Is that right baby girl?
Addilece: I right!

Which One?

A converstation with Papa yesterday:

Papa:  Addilece say "hacky"
Addilece: Yucky
P:  Hacky
A: Yucky
P:  Ha-cky
A:  Yucky

Present from Pawpaw

Pawpaw was sweet enough to give all his grandkids something for Valentine's Day.  We kept them up rather late that night (sorry guys!!!) and Addilece was very out of it when she recieved her present.  The next morning she grabbed the gift and without prompting yell "CHOC-EE".

M&M's

We are having a particularly trying day around here....as in trying Mommy's patience.  So I grabbed the bag of M&M's and dashed to our bedroom for a quick breather.  I was able to grab a handful out and hid the bag before Little Miss cam plodding in behind me.

I had the yummy snack hidden in my hands when Addilece decides to grab my hand with out anything to investigate.  I show it to her but she's still not convinced.  So I "skillfully" switch the candy to my other hand and show her hand two is empty.  Board she grabs hand one to try and take me some place.  In the processes she feels the M&M's in my hand.  Her eyes light up and she yells "OOOOOOOO".  I was CAUGHT!

Poddy?

Daddy leaves the room to use the restroom.
Addilece points at him and looks at me, wondering where Daddy went.

M: Daddy's going potty.
A: Poddy??
M: Yes, potty.
A: WHY?

Yuck

Eating super last night (Taco Salad)


Daddy: Here Addilece, try a piece of lettuce.  It's good.
Addilece (without touching the lettuce): It's yuck!

Nuggle

Addilece has an attachment to two different "bank-ees".  The last couple of days she has been super interested in a BIG blue blanket that Daddy gave me for my birthday shortly after we started dating.  Its really similar in feel.  It has become our "snuggle blanket".

This morning Addilece grabbed one of her blankets, the big blue blanket, and my hand.  She pulled me over to the couch, patted one of the seats and declare "NUGGLE" (snuggle).  How can a momma say no to that?



Anothe picture from the day.  Addilece with her blankets and a book.  Love days like this.



Kisses

This morning Daddy said "buh-bye" a few minutes before he had to actually leave.

Addilece holds out forehead for a buh-bye kiss.
Daddy gives it.
A:  Mo-ee's toorn.... (and points to Mommy)
D: gives Mommy kiss.
A:  My toorn (points to self
D: kisses
A: Mo-ee's toorn (and points to Mommy)
D: kisses
A: My toorn  (points to self)

She did this for about 10 minutes

Pitty

We are always telling Addilece how pretty she is.  She can parrot the word but she's never said it with any meaning.  Until:

Addilece (pointing to hersefl): I pitty (pretty)
Daddy and Mommy:  Yes!  Your are!
A (runs up to Daddy and points):  You pitty
Mommy:  Awww....yes, Daddy's pretty.
A (runs up to Mommy and points):  You pitty
Daddy:  Mommy is VERY pretty.

Yesterday Addilece ran into my bedroom while I was getting ready.  In toddler jibberish she told me something was very wrong.  She grabbed my finger and pulled me into the kitchen.  She had taken four things from her play kitchen and dropped them into the sink and couldn't get them back.  I got them out of the sink for her and went back to getting ready.

Ten minutes later I realized she was padding back and forth between the kitchen and her bedroom.  When I went to investigate this is what I found:



Just for Papa.....It's everything AND the kitchen sink.

Tock-In

This is "A" tock-in on the "phone."  Its a pretty common occurance at our home.  Here is a calculator.  Its also been a hand help (rather old school) battle ship game from her Daddy and an old broken cell phone.  She'll also use Daddy and my cells if she gets ahold of them.

Irresistibly Cute

These are some of "A's" words that get me every time.  I can't help but wear a huge smile on my face every time I hear them:

Nelmo (Elmo)

Choc-ee (Chocolate)

Da Poo (Pooh)

Da Book-ee (Book)

Tis-kit (Triscut)

Da-a-lee (Addilece)

Dane-jis (Dangerous)

Lub OOO (Love You)

Of Course Not!

While riding in the car:

"A" from the back seat: No, no, NO, nope, No!
Me:  You just like to say "no" don't you?
"A": Noo.

Nummmmm

"A" was watching Mary Poppins last night:

Me: Is the movie good?
A: NUMMMM (yummm)

Tuk!

"A" was sitting in her carseat, strapped in when she started to whine.

Me: What's wrong?
A: Tuk!!! (Stuck)

Yes, indeed.  You are very very stuck when you are in the carseat Baby Girl

BIG Tubble

The other day I had the couch pulled out to look for something that was missing and to fix slip cover that was on it.  A suddenly became VERY intent on pushing it back where it was suppose to go.

A (after not being able to push it back into the place): You'n tubble (trouble).
Me: I'm in trouble?
A: Tubble!
M: Who am I in trouble with.
A: Da-ee (Daddy)

Come Where?

Yesterday A was more interested in playing then getting ready for church.  I was sitting in her room and as I often do I took my finger, pointed to the spot on the ground where I wanted her and said, "Come here!"

After not responding I said "Addilece, listen to Mommy's words.  Come Here!"  (Again pointing to the ground.)

A looks at me, squats down, takes her finger, points to the ground and says "Om ere."

While I was trying to stifle a laugh A again squats down, takes her finger, points the ground and says, "Om ere, Mom!"

Yuck

A while getting a poopy diaper changed:

Points to bottom and says: Isa (it's a) pop (poop).
Me: Yes, its poopy.
A: Yuck!

Daddy can't Sing

Most days we listen to Pandora toddler music on the computer.

Last night A pulled on Daddy to tell him she wanted him up.  He got to his knees and she yelled "DAN" (dance).  Daddy started going "do-doo-doo-da-doo-da" and dancing with her.  A got down and walked over to computer and started tapping on it looking at Daddy.  Apparently she didn't really like his music.

Vaccum

Pawpaw and Mawmaw (Daddy's parents) brought by A's new Christmas present last night (they needed to replace the original b/c we had too many of the same thing).  Because of the time and the need to get Cousin J home (they were out celebrating his birthday) Pawpaw brought it up and left.  They missed seeing her excitement.  So, this video and pictures are for them.....

Daddy didn't realize we were recording a video and said "I sound like an idiot".  I think its cute.  I love that Daddy can be fully Daddy w/ his little muchkin and not worry about anything else. 

Sorry these all really needed cropped....
