Sadie quirks

Sadie has had a very busy 2010 so far, developmentally speaking. She is changing so quickly lately, we can't keep up. I need to start doing a better job of documenting all her funny moments so I can remember them, because there are SO many funny moments these days. It's an all out riot in the Foley house most of the time!

Here are just a few moments I've been able to capture recently. There are so many more crazy things that she does, but I just can't catch it all. Generally because I'm frantically undoing something she's done or else dying laughing!

I peaked around the corner of the kitchen one day last week to find this....

Yes, I get that this is obviously not the safest position, but it was just too darn cute not to capture. I don't know what sparked her to do this. We honestly don't watch that much Elmo, though I leave it on most mornings as we play. So I haven't paid alot of attention to know whether there is something on the show that sparked kissing the television. Maybe someone else can enlighten me?! Are there subliminal messages urging children to kiss the tv?

Another morning last week, Sadie and I were on our way to get dressed upstairs. Before we started going up the stairs though, I noticed how pretty it was outside. The trees were absoutely sparkling in the sunlight (I think due to a heavy fog earlier in the morning that left the trees frozen). I don't know if it was actually that pretty, or if we miss the sunshine so much that I feel the need to take pictures when it comes out, but none the less, I grabbed the camera.....

When I turned back around......

Sadie had made it all the way to the top of the stairs, CARRYING HER STROLLER AND BABY! We have very steep stairs (thank you Estridge-Not-So-Custom Homes), that we do not let Sadie play on (because they are so steep), so this was quite the feat! She was quite proud of herself too, grinning from ear to ear.

And yet, another morning this week, she thought she needed to put on her snow boots. This was all while she had grabbed her cell phone, stuck it in her lunch box, had me zip the lunch box, gave me a hug, waved bye, and told me she was going to Dr. Miller's office. I don't know what is going on between her and Dr. Miller, but he IS married with two kids....so she better watch out! :)

Last night she got into the dirty clothes and was "getting dressed"......

Part of the funny thing is that she is perfectly content "wearing" her clothes in this manner. She acts like nothing is wrong and continues playing away after she has gotten herself "dressed".

The one thing I can't show you pictures of is her dialogue. A child's ability to learn at the pace that they learn is fascinating in and of itself, but when you pair that with learning the English dialogue, as well as, American slang, it leaves me in awe. She has really taken to all the slang and quirky terms that Daniel and I use lately. Such as..... she tells me things are "PROLLY stairs" (meaning probably upstairs) when I'm looking for something. And she is really into repeating things, just to be funny, like..... 'dang it', 'yeppers' or calling her daddy "Daniel"! It's all humorous, and Daniel and I are far to guilty of laughing at way too much of it. We are probably raising a monster, but she's OUR CUTE LITTLE MONSTER, right????!!! :)
