I love how she exudes happiness with her contagious giggle.
When her daddy tickles her, she giggles and when she's calming down she always exclaims, "Ohhhh Dawdy!" in a little accent that is hers alone.
I love how when you tell her you think something, like "Izzy I think you're cute" she responds with "Yuh-doo?" which Aaron and I find ourselves using in our conversations with each other now. Brings a smile.
I love how she loves her baby sister and talks 'baby talk' to her. The other day we had preschool at our house and her friends were talking to Claire and she said, "No that's not how you talk to her" and she proceeded to do her high pitched baby talk so that when I walked in later, four little girls were standing in front of Claire talking in high-er pitched voices while shaking their heads back and forth exaggeratedly.
I love how she is the family announcer for anytime anyone passes gas and she quickly learned to blame it on Claire when she came along (which is true a majority of the time).
She uses, "Last night" for anything that happened in the past.
It cracks me up when she starts a story with, "When I was a little kid . . ."
Her expressions are priceless. That girl has some funny faces and wears her heart on her sleeve.
Man oh man, never get the stink eye from her because it is a mean one.
I love that she can express her feelings. When she is mad at me she lets me know, "Mom I am mad at you and I'm not going to be nice to you!" Good to know.
She is a sensitive little thing and anytime she gets in trouble and I reprimand her she is very offended and usually says, "Mom I know you're frustrated with me, but I still love you" as if I'm the offender.
The other day Aaron did something she wasn't happy about and with a tear in her eye and a pouty lip she said, "Daddy you broke my heart. My heart is hurt."
She is very particular and things have to be done a certain way, although I'm not sure where she gets it from . . .
I love taking her shopping with me because she will tell me, "Mom you look beautiful in that!" She loves shoes and clothes and all that fun girly stuff.
The other day we were at a store and she was hopping down the isle full throttle and came to a display of baby clothes and exclaimed, "Oh these are adorable! Sometimes when things are so adorable it makes me want to cry!" A worker was standing there and started laughing so hard, she said, "That is so funny to hear that come out of such a little girl."
She is our talker. A few people have commented on how well she talks and we always reply that it's because she gets a lot of practice.
She told me this morning, "Mommy you are the best mommy ever! Even better than Daddy." I work hard at being a better mom than Aaron and apparently it's now just starting to pay off.
