Millie has been 2 for a few weeks now, and she is super fun! We definitely love having her around. These are some cute things she has been saying or doing lately:
- (While holding her hands like scriptures) "An' it cane-a-pass, that Jesus died. An' then he cane-a-live again! He's a nice guy. He got an owie on his hand. I love 'im."
- The floor = "the fleur"
- Crocogator (crocodile)
- We were eating leftover gyros with pieces of beef in them, Millie said, "Mom, is this poop?"
- After getting dressed one morning, Millie said, "I'm all clothesied!"
- I'm all nakend! (said while running around with a mischievous grin on her face, not "clothesied")
- "I have a bug-bike on my leg!"
- We have Millie repeat words to us as we read scriptures together. The other day, we had her say "Ant-Nephi-Lehi." She said "anti-anti-Lefi." Sometimes teaching her these words backfires when people say them in Sacrament meeting and she excitedly (and loudly) repeats the word.. "Abinadai! Mom, say Abinadai!" She insists until we say it.
- When she's frustrated, sometimes she'll say "I'anna hit people!" I tell her no, so she says, "kick people?" Then sometimes she says "Make people feel better?" And I tell her that's a great idea. Then she gives hugs and kisses.- Millie said an impromptu prayer and asked that Brandon have a good "workin." When he got home, she said, "Dad, did you have a good workin'?"
- She loves to tip her old play gym on its side and pretend like it's a music stand (I think) and sing songs at it. Usually the songs are about things she sees mixed with blabber and uh-huhs.
- She also has become pretty good at singing a few real songs, like I am a Child of God, Twinkle Twinkle, I Got a Dream (Tangled), Happy Birthday, and You are my Sunshine.
- She has made up two funny games: One, she pretends like she is holding a key and puts it somewhere, like on her nose or in her mouth, and I have to get it and put it somewhere else, and then she'll get it and put it somewhere else. We can play this game for a very long time. The other, we tickle each other with tickle bugs (make our hands crawl like bugs).
- She believes she can catch airplanes and stars and throw them back, and touch the sky.
- She is mostly potty trained... depending on the day.
- When we correct her, she usually says "Ooooh. Right!"
- She was making a "zzzzzz" sound, and said, "I'm zizzin'." I love that she make up words even better than I do.
- Once I ate a treat that she was really hoping to eat, and she was so sad. She sweetly said, "mommy, did you eat my treat?" The way she said it with tears in her eyes but without whining melted my heart and made me feel bad. :)
- She loves to pretend; one day she pretended her dad was so tiny she could hold him in her hand. She also loves to pretend she is a baby and many animals, etc.
- She is very observant and picks up on people's names without being told.
- She is saying and understanding sooo much lately. I love it.
- A recent conversation:
Millie, what does daddy look like?"
"um... a caco."
"A Taco?"
"uh huh, a taco; daddy looks like a taco on his head."
Then I describe what I think daddy looks like (brown hair, blue eyes, sometimes glasses, handsome, and short for a man), and ask what she likes do do with him. She said, "I like his big hugs."
Then she says, "daddy is so nice!"
"Yes, he's a nice guy."
"He's a MAN!"
