Swimin

Bath time is swimming time for this girl.  She just learned she could lay down on her stomach in the water and forever afterward she's "swimin".  She has to have her animals, a bath just isn't a bath without her animals.  Thanks to Audrey for buying them for her.  She used to hate getting in the bath, but after the animals joined us she felt more like it was play time and less like it was torture.  

Rae keeps me on my toes.  She never stops surprising me with hilarious things she says and trouble she gets into.  Today I found her in the pantry stuffing her face with chocolate chips.  She told me they were nummy and then said, "I hiding,  I eat chocolate chips".  Truthfully I don't know how many she ate before I caught her, but if the amount of chocolate on her face and hands was any indication, it was a lot.  The silence in the house gave her away.  

The day I took these pictures she cried and screamed at me at the end of her bath when she asked for cookies while she was "swimin" and I told her no. (Picture below)

She is crazy, hilarious, and a little bit sassy.  

Everyday after she gets up I get her dressed and take her to the bathroom to do her hair.  She's always particular with what she wants.  If she doesn't want a pony or a bow she'll make it known.  There's no distracting her enough to get her to forget while I slide it in.  She's the elephant that never forgets what she wants.  

Lately she's taken to saying "curses" when something frustrates her or if something is not working the way she wants.  It makes me giggle because it's something Paul has said for years and I never would have imagined my toddler picking up on it.  It sounds hilarious coming from her little voice.
