Abigailisms

At 17 months, Abigail is getting into everything and becoming more of a character every day. Recently, she had been cracking me up. Here are a few examples:

• This morning, I was getting Abigail ready to go to MOPS. As I was holding her and pulling a cute little sweater out of the closet for her to wear, she looked at me and said, "No, no, Mommy." Then she pulled a little denim dress out of the closet and said, "Please." Of course I gave in an let her wear the dress. Watch out world...my 17 month old wants to dress herself. I'm in trouble!
  


• Lately, Abigail has really been into putting things on her head. If she finds a washcloth, the first thing does is put it on her head and parade around the house like she is wearing the most beautiful hat. Not only is she putting washcloths on her head, she's been digging through my dirty laundry pile and putting clothes over her head so they cover her eyes. Then she is toddling around the room at full speed until she trips over or bumps into something and falls down. She will squeal with delight and just do it over and over. I definitely think I have a thrill seeker on my hands.



• The last couple of nights, Abigail has had a cough. I've been letting her sleep with me, so I can keep an eye on her. Twice I've caught her talking in her sleep. Guess was she says....She says, "please" over and over again.



• Last week I found the TV remote on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. I know I didn't put it there.



• Her new phrase is "Okie dokie."



• I had a meeting at a coffee shop last week. Abigail was getting bored, so I let her play with her diaper bag. She pulled out her diaper ointment called "Butt Paste" and gave it to guy that I've never met before a the next table.

Ah...my little love keeps me on my toes and with a smile on my face.
