Even though you have always been quite a comical little chickadee, lately I find you're saying the most hilarious things! More and more your chirpy little voice pipes up, opening my eyes to a perspective all your own. Now, its not as though you've only just started talking, oh no, far from it! But I've just gotta put this stuff down somewhere so one day, you can laugh about it too!
Right now you've just turned 22 months old.
Some of your words that crack me up:
Hooray
siiilly doooog
Actually...
never!
gock (although you can and do say "milk")
Today you told me your baby's name is "Sofa". hee hee. Vladi and I thought you meant either Sofia (your cousin) or Sophie (playgroup) but when I asked again, after trying to clarify, you still said Sofa.
About a week ago you were sitting at our kitchen table waiting for me to finish making lunch and you had a bendy straw in your mouth. Both ends were sticking out the corners of your mouth. You kept trying to tell me something but I was having a hard time understanding you with that straw in your mouth. Finally I decided you were telling me you were a "monster". I said, "Like Cookie Monster?" You said, "Nooooo." You kept trying, finally it was clear you were a lobster, and that straw was your antennae. (you looove to look at the lobsters at the grocery store) This cracked me up beyond all - I was telling everybody!
Now this one is sort of in the way you said it - your precious little chirpy voice added a lot to the humor. Your dad was driving home from Baba & Diado's house and was at an intersection where you're not supposed to turn on red, someone did, and they cut him off. He got mad and before thinking did some loud grumbling and honking... then some backpeddaling when you asked, "Whats wrong Daddy?", sounding a bit alarmed. He said, "That man is a bad driver" But you heard, "That man's bad." So he explained the man couldn't drive very well. Then, a day or so afterwards when you heard a horn honk, your eyes lit up and you said, "Its that BAD MAN Daddy! He can't DRIVE!" Your dad is working to keep his temper around you.
"Time to take a bath, Nicole!" Noticing that in my haste I've forgotten to bring your towel, I step back across the hall into your room, shouting over the running water, "I'll be right back honey, I'm going to grab a..."
I come back in to see you seated in the tub, watching the water pour in full force, somewhat entranced by it. I do not normally leave you alone to take your baths since you're not even 2 yet, but this time you showed me what a big girl you are, climbing in there all by yourself so quickly...fully clothed.
This past weekend we bought a twin size mattress and Vladi started constructing your Big Girl Bed (twin sz platform bed > don't need a boxspring = lower to floor, less fall hazard).

Meanwhile, we've started putting you to bed there and you wouldn't have it any other way (we hyped you up about it before buying it and explained the wonders of being big enough to have a Big Girl Bed. We even went all out and bought fancy sheets/quilt & sham / fuzzy blanket / rug / fuzzy moon character to hang over your bed - pictures to come...daddy's almost finished painting your bed). You're really excited about it and have been bouncing on the bed, oooohing and aaaahing over the sheets / blankets / the bed itself, and you have been sleeping better, I think! I'm so excited for you to be so happy with it! Its less crowded in our bed now, and I like that too, but you can bet that if you wandered into our room at night I'd let you snuggle up with me!
Your second day of gymnastics is tomorrow morning, maybe this time you'll let the other kids "hang" (a single, overhead bar). I love you my little suga boo. ~ Mommy

I'm so glad you started this! The picture of Nicole in the bath fully clothed is hillarious!
