More Cadence-isms

Some of my latest faves from my crazy kid:

-She loves to point out "booty mawks" (beauty marks, which can be moles, freckles, or pimples).

-She can't pronounce her "r"'s.

-She can sing the alphabet, several primary songs, and loves "the hard rain song" by Bob Dylan, and more.

-She can identify all the letters of the alphabet (capital only).

-She's into kissing me. She grabs my face like she's seen Daddy do, and kisses my chin, my forehead, my cheeks, my neck, etc. It's one of those little payoffs for all the difficult times.

-She uses phrases like: "Oh, what have we got here?" and "Does that sound nice?"

-She insists on helping with all household chores, "brooming", vacuuming, washing dishes, laundry, etc.

-She has moments of extreme frustration that she vents by screaming whatever word she can think of at the time. My personal fave was, "MARACA!!!!!"

Some things that are more perplexing and frustrating than cute:

-She refuses to pray. She liked it at first, now she won't participate.

-She is lately very very emotional and dramatic and is almost obessessed with doing the opposite of what I say.

-She STILL hates getting her diaper changed.

Well, I'd better end this on a good note...

She may be a little fireball lately, but she is still the sweetest little talker you've ever seen. She likes to talk about anything she hears or sees. Today she talked a lot about Machu Pichu and China (places she learned about on Little Einsteins at least one week ago). She remembers everybody she meets. She's a little motor-head--she can hear or see a helicopter or motorcycle before anybody else. She loves to watch Daddy play a racing video game that involves fast vehicles and lots of crashing. She gives great hugs and loves to sing happy birthday to anybody that she likes. What a cutie.

"Cadence, make a pretty face."

Okay, now tell my your favorite things that your child is doing lately. And tell me I'm not the only one whose child drives them nuts sometimes, too!
