a few things...

: Annie put two peas up her nose the other day and shot one out on her own and then I had to hold one nostril as she blew the other one out. Argg...

: Annie likes to tell stories and she explains what she just did like "Annie did "sigh" Mommie" "Annie did "sigh" Mommie". Other stories are about what she did while she was "seeping". She told me today that she was eating carrot cake while she was sleeping. Annie does quite a few things while she is "seeping" believe me!!!!

:Annie is into hitting her Mom. I don't know why but she just hauls off and hits me in the arm. Trying to nip this in the bud.

:We have had our condo listed to sell for the past month and we have been talking quite a bit about moving - not that I think at this point it is going to happen due to the market. Today Annie said she was ready for a new house. Uh-oh!!!!

:Potty training is going along. If she has a bare bum, Annie hits the potty every time, on her own- "quick bunny Mommie". Put anything on her and she pees in it EVERY time. Frustrated Mommie. Not sure what to do about this but having a wet floor to clean up is not my idea of fun due to the house having to be "showplace ready" at the drop of a hat. Annie even puts her pull ups or nighttime diapers in the garbage for us!!!!

:Annie is dressing up quite a bit and went out the other night with her wings on. All the other restaurant patrons thought she was lovely.

: Daddy "puts things somewhere" quite a bit when we can't find things!!!!!!

: Auntie Colleen made Annie oatmeal cookies. I don't know what we will do when they run out!!

: Annie told me she had to call Daddy at work today and so we called. Well, it was all about the beautiful tea set that Stella and George gave Annie. She couldn't find it and had to call!!! Daddy suggested she use her white one for now. At this moment, Annie has her dress on, her special necklace, the teacups are on their plates and she is pouring the hot water into her teapot. Guess I have to run to have tea with my darling girl.

OH and speaking of darling, that is what I call Annie quite a bit. She has started to call me "dahling" too. It is really cute. When I was in bed with a migraine the other day, she stroked my face like I stroke hers when she is sad/scared/hurt and gave me big smooches on the kisser!! LOVE my little girl sooooooo very much.

:Annie loves to go on the "jump,jump" aka trampoline with the "boys" aka Max and Fred. Even though the boys are 6 and 4 they are AMAZING with Annie and treat her so very well. At the park, Max goes down the slide with her and the one time he went without her accidentally, a little girl pushed her down. Well, all three boys including Jaspar (10) were going to have a "word" with that little girl!!! Luckily for her, her Daddy was reading the riot act so she was spared the wrath of three angry boys!!!! So sweet. It is too bad they live an island away... she misses them very much...

:Annie is an accomplished swimmer and hates life jackets (so glad as she is learning to swim without floaty things). We were in the lake quite a bit and this past weekend, Arthur had his Regional swim meet so we played at the pool and cheered him on. Annie saw "Artur" across the pool and "swam" across to meet him. I have to get her into the water more often as she just loves it. Putting her head under water is not a problem as she goes down the slide and jumps off the side no problem. Love those swimming lessons last summer!!!!!
