Life as a Toddler

If Meg could type, and let me tell you she tries, she would let you know that life is just pretty darn great as a Toddler! Here all some of the things she is up to!
*The phrase that she says the most clear is, "Daddy, Daddy! Me pee pee in the potty!" And when she says this Bryson knows that he is supposed to come to the bathroom and in the most overly excited voice sing the pee pee in the potty song! And if Brody is around instead of Bryson she expects him to do it. For some reason he isn't as willing as Bryson. And if I try to sing it she looks at me with a annoyed face.
*Speaking of the potty. She pee pees on the potty at least a few times a day and it is starting to get better about letting us know when she needs to go, but we are still at least a few months from sporting anything but diapers!
*One of my favorite things she does is a little shrug of her shoulders and she tilts her little head and give us the sweetest look. Sometimes this is when she is up to something but other times it is just her being cute!
*She loves to pick on Brody. She has at least moved on from stealing his toys and instead likes to sneak away with his blankie and his pillow pet and then say, "Mine, Mine, Mine". Brody just adds fuel to the fire by acting so dramatic about it. I still haven't been able to convince him that ignoring her is the best solution!
*She is all about the "pony" right now! Her hair is just long enough for me to do a little side pony that sticks straight up. She no longer wants a bow...just a pony!
*She loves playing with all of her stuffed animals. She isn't much of a doll person but she loves her stuffed Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters, Hello Kitty, her piggy, and her animals from Build a Bear. She carries them all around the house and puts them in various places. And she loves her little characters from Beauty and the Beast. Just tonight she was pretending to put her characters and she was kissing each one of them over and over and then covering up with a blanket!
*She still likes to be rocked to bed and I love it! She is always trying to sing to keep herself awake!
*Her favorite song right now is "Bingo". And she could seriously be one of the kids on Barney! She knows all the dance motions and can dance better than most of those kids....ha!
*She loves for me to paint her fingernails and toenails. Tonight I painted them with the color "Spit Fire". I thought it fit her well!
*Yesterday she experienced the simple joy of throwing sticks off the bridge by our house and watching them float down the creek. It was raining a little bit but still so nice outside and she had her rain coat on and her rain boots and was splashing in puddles and I had one of those moments where I was so thankful for to be home with my babies so I can experience all those little bitty moments and so thankful for wonderful kids who I love so much! It was a moment I hope I won't forget!
