"Where's Me?" and "Kickle Me!"

Aubyn is 27 months now and growing more into a little lady everyday.  If she had any say about this she would say she is a "pincess" (princess). On vacation at village west I found a t-shirt with a princess on it and it had a real tutu that came out of the t-shirt.  I brought it in the condo and held it up and said, "Aubyn, look I got you a new t-shirt."  Aubyn looked up in amazement and said, "pincess" all starry eyed.  It was SO CUTE!  For the next 3 days she had to wear her "pincess" shirt!

Aubyn is also getting such a fun personality.  The other day at grandpa Goerge's house we were talking about wet willy's.  Grandpa asked what a wet willy was and I told Aubyn to go show grandpa what it was.  She walked up to grandpa and licked her finger long and wet and stuck it right in his ear. She laughed and said "wet wildy." Grandpa laughed and laughed. He then licked his finger and came after Aubyn and she covered both her ears screaming out of pure joy and started  running away from Grandpa.  Oh, how we all laughed.

Another game she loves to play is hide under a blanket or in my curtains or where ever and say, "Where's Me?" and then she laughs.  It's so fun to hear them have such joy in a simple game.  She also loves to be tickled.  "Kickle me mama" is something I hear multiple times a day.  Just recently we taught her our passwords for me to stop tickling her.  They are "I love you mama, and Uncle." So the second after I start tickling her she saying "I love you mama."  I can't complain...I will take I love you no matter what form it's in!:).

Aubyn also just recently got her ears pierced.  I had been thinking about it for a while but didn't know if I wanted to do it at such a young age.  Well, Saturday we were going to the eye doctor for Trey and I asked Toby if he cared if I got her ears pierced today.  He said go ahead.  So after the Doctor we stopped by Aunt Josie's shop and checked if there were enough girls there to do it.  She had no idea what was coming. We marked her ears they were both put in at the same time.  She cried a bit and then was happy to receive her sucker.  She moped a few times that day, but she did Great.  Now she really looks like a Big Girl :(.

As Aubyn grows I know she is going to be my little helper.  A lot of times when it's time to go somewhere I will say, "Okay kids, let's go."  Aubyn will stop and look at me and say, "you got my bapack (backpack) mom?"  This is her diaper bag and I cannot believe she knows that we need it everywhere we go :).  Also,  one time we were going to go to the park and Toby was still sitting in the chair.  Aubyn goes and gets his shoes and brings them to him and says, "daddy you need your shoes on."  This little girl knows how things role :).

This week Aubyn has been kind of funny adding a "y" on to everything.   When it's time to go swimming she says, "mom, I need me tubby."  When she is thirsty she says, "Mom, I need a drinky."  When she wants to go out side she needs her "shoey" on.  I don't know where she picked this up but I sure hope it don't last long. LOL.

Aubyn still continue to love her dolls: Lydia, Brooklyn and Dorda(Dora).  She carries her puse (purse) around on one arm and her doll in her other. Her and Trey sometimes hid out in her room/closet playing dolls, putting them to sleep, and being mom and dad.  It is so fun to hide around the corner and watch their little minds in action.

Another thing that is so funny about Aubyn is sometimes she just acts like a little adult.  She will be doing something and you will tell her to pick it up when she is done and she looks right at you and says, "k."  And then she does it too.  If she finds my shoes in her room she will bring them to me.  I will tell her to go put them in my room and she will go into my closet and put them on my shoe rack as nice as can be.  If I would have asked Trey to do this he would have chucked them in my room. It's so funny the differences between girls and boys.  But I really do appreciate them all.

We have also been doing some potty training at our house.  On vacation to Village West a few weeks ago Aubyn decided she wanted to go on the potty.  She told Grandma Myrna that she had to go potty and ONLY Grandma Myrna could take her.  So off they went to the BR and she went!  Since then she wakes up dry every morning and goes a TON on her little potty.  We wear princess pull-ups and panties most of the day and we can stay dry some days and have a lot of accidents other days.  At her 2 year old check up I read a paper that said every time a child tells you that she is dirty, don't scorn them and say you should go on the potty, but thank them for telling you that they were dirty.  I started doing that and 2 weeks later she wanted to go on the potty.  Wow...how amazing, well,  or LUCKY :).  We by far are not leaving the house without a pull-up or diaper on yet, but she is doing GREAT!

I reflect now on my children playing with their motorcycles on the floor.  Laughing with each other and occasionally yelling at each other and Thank God for their little personalities everyday.  They have such great joy in the smallest things, well, also great pitty in small things too, but they are such joys. As they interact with each other I can see the great love they have for each other.  Yesterday I caught them both snuggling in the chair together. I wish I would have gotten a picture b/c it was SO CUTE.  They are just little bodies that know SO MUCH.
