Addie-isms

I live in fear of the moment I recognize I officially have 2 full blown honey badger babies in the house. Myles is still a little too young to realize his full potential. But I do know the day is coming that he may be just as sassy as his older sister. Here are some of my favorite Addie-isms while we wait for that day:

• Addie just went Jersey on Myles. He wandered over and took something she was using and she started screaming at him in Addish, ripped her shirt off and got in his face. I think she may have said 'Come at me bro' but I can't be sure.

• Me: I'm gonna need you to calm down.
  Addie: down? What's that?
  Me: its the direction of which I'd like you to calm yourself.
  Addie: umm... No.

• Addie ripped the top off her sippy cup and is blessing Myles like its holy water. I can't win

• The makings of a fun Tuesday night: a sneaky toddler, a full jar of mod podge and your phone.

• I just blocked Addie's access to the cat food. I don't understand her native tongue, but I'm almost certain she just threatened my life.

• Addie is devastated she doesn't fit into her bumbo anymore. I have the same reaction trying I fit into jeans right now, so I feel for her.

• So Addie has zero patience to wait for me to cook any of her meals or to do anything I ask her, but she has enough patience to sit quietly and unscrew every last knob on my dresser? That seems like a fair trade...

• Addie's new thing: She doesn't just say 'Yea' anymore. It's a very enthusiastic 'oh yea!' Kinda like living with a very adorable kool aid man.

• A thoughtful toddler who wants to help sweep the floor turns into me trying to do moves that I can only equate with some type of twisted prenatal yoga as I dodge a broom handle.

• I hope Addie realizes her tantrums are less effective when she goes to throw herself to the ground and takes the time to gingerly place her head down before continuing her rant.

• I thought to myself 'Addie must be pretty hungry bc she's eating so many mini pancakes'. Turns out she was just ripping them up and storing the pieces in the couch cushions.

• Sometimes when Addie gets mad at me I'm fairly certain she's swearing at me in her native tongue.

• Just caught Addie cuddling with my boots. You know I bought you some stuffed animals and a cat, right? You don't need to cuddle up to some Steve Madden knock offs.

• Addie's new favorite food is paper. Yummmm

• When I walked out of the room to make a bottle Addie and Abby were having a full conversation with each other. When I walk back in they both go quiet and give me a deer in the headlights look. Its so obvious they were talking about me. Now I feel like I'm at the nail salon...
