Happy Days

Annie has been so happy the past two days. She laughs and giggles all the time, and is constantly calling out, "Kelsey Jo, Chase Me," followed shortly after by, "More tickle, more tickle." There have been some fun times.

I was about to take Annie over to her house, and she had been playing with two paint stir sticks. I told her that if she wanted to go over to her house, we were going to have to leave the sticks behind. She responded by saying that was, "So Frustrating!"

Last night, Annie was chatting with me and she told me what sounded like, "parents do everything." I thought this was a pretty astute observation. However, today we were listening to a Veggietales CD and the song "The Pirates who don't do anything" came on and she started singing along. It was then that I figured out she was actually telling me that, "Pirates do everything."

Today, Annie told me the sweetest thing. She was outside playing with me and she turned and said, "Brother Dano come over after nap. Watch horsies with me. Mommy, Daddy too."

Lee has also been pretty busy around here. Annie has told me that daddy is going to wash the mirrors, take pictures of everything she likes, sing her songs, he's been on the TV, and he was supposed to give her a bath and clean up the playroom yesterday. He didn't do a very good job on the playroom.

I think that you guys are going to have to get Annie a dog because she has become quite the trainer. On our walks, she now tells the dogs "heel", "come here", "wrong way, go other way", "don't lick grass", and, of course, at the end "good dog."
